Is it possible to swap out the micro sim into a nother phone?

Hi -- I love my iphone 4, but am reluctant to take it snowboarding with me in case i fall and shatter the front or back.
Does anyone know if its possible to put the the micro sim from the iphone 4 into an older iphone.
OR
are there are inexpensive phones that take a microsim that I could use as a backup?

You're welcome.
Yes and yes.
A SIM card is a SIM card. It has been possible to use an activated iPhone SIM card with another GSM phone since day one over 3 years ago. What isn't possible is taking an activated SIM card used with another GSM phone and simply inserting the SIM card in an iPhone without activating the SIM card with the iPhone via the iTunes activation process.

  • Is my iPad 3g locked to ATT or can I swap out the micro sim with another GSM carriers micro sim?

    I travel with my iPad to Europe frequently and would like to know if I can swap sims with a local carrier and use their data plane while overseas.

    The iPad is not sold as carrier locked - except for the Verizon iPad which doesn't have a SIM card anyway.

  • HT201269 Do I need to get a fresh Sim card?  My wife's 3G has the old style sim and my old 4 (that I am passing to her) has the micro-sim, they are different phone numbers - what do I do?

    Good morning, this may sound dumb but I don't know how to to do this.
    My wife currently has a iPhone 3g with her mobile number and the Sim card is the old style standard sim
    I am transferring my iPhone 4 to her and that has a microsim with my number info on it.
    Does this mean that I have to get a clean microsim for her or will all the data transfer from Itunes to the 'new' iP4.
    Now, how do I actually go about doing it?
    Do I take my sim out ot the iP4 and put it into the micro adaptor and slot it into her phone and back up from her machine, or what do I do - Please respond in technophobe (I'm an old duffer:-) )

    You need to get a sim sim, activated, wirh your wife's account info on it. Your carrier should give you one for free. Either that, or you cut down your wife's existing sim. If you do a Google search you'll find instructions/tools on how to do so.
    After you get the sim situation straightened out, backup your wife's 3G in iTunes. Then on your 4, turn off iMessage, FaceTime, Find My Phone & delete the iCloud account. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. When finished, restore from the backup you made of the 3G. Sync her content to the phone.
    You should be good to go.

  • Is it possible to find out the names of the various objects (jpegs, pdf's, etc) in a keynote presentation?

    I have to re do a keynote presentation for powerpoint -- the export feature won't work on the pc -- it simply says that it wasn't possible to display some of the text and objects because they had become corrupted, and were replaced with blank slides.  I was wondering if it's possible to find out the names of the objects used in the presentation.  That way I could save them to a folder and just paste them in to the PPT version on the PC.  I know they have to be somewhere on the Mac that the presentation was made on, so is it also possible to find out where they would be?
    I tried right clicking on the objects in the slide, but there was no 'get info' option, like there is in a finder window.  Please help if you can.
    Chris

    There are a few options for you here. In the Inspector>Metrics Tab, when you click on the picture, it will display the name. Then you can use the find feature of the Finder to locate the picture. If you have Keynote set to save files as Packages, you can right click the file in the Finder (or control click) and then select Show Package Content. This will show you all the files that make up your Keynote and you can copy the pictures out of there into a new folder. Finally, if you can't find them any other way, you can select and copy the picture in Keynote, then open Preview and command-n (or File Menu>New from Clipboard) and then save the file to where ever you want so you can find it.

  • Is it possible to take out the keys in my keyboard so I can clean them?

    I noticed that a lot of dust has gotten inside my computer recently and my keys are in need of a dusting.
    Is it possible to take out the keys without breaking them..?

    Compressed air is the best way to get the dust out. Don't worry about lodging dust inside somewhere, everything important is sealed up against compressed air.
    Getting the keys back on is very, very, very fussy work. And that's presuming you don't break any.

  • Is there any way to swap out the 'Widget Note' icon or have it triggered?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to swap out the 'Widget Note' icon?
    Not only is it bad artwork, I have a cool custom button that I wanted to bring up the Note widget. Also, when I put the Note Widget on top of my custom button, it blocks the button's glow for the mouse over state, wven when I choose the option of making the widget transparent.
    Any way my custom button could trigger the Widget Note to launch?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    cheers

    Hi digitalnoob
    To use your custom icon image instead of default Note icon, you would have placed your image on top of the "transparent" widget.
    To make these objects available on click of some button:
    Group these two objects.
    Make this group invisible in output.
    Add the button which should trigger this widget.
    On the button, set the action to Show this group.
    To hide this group on 2nd click you need to use some advanced action and variables. Else, you can have a different button to hide this group.

  • Swapping out the hard drive?

    Is it really THAT easy? It looks like it just slides right out after you remove the battery and the L bracket. I just got my MacBook yesterday and want to swap out the 120 GB drive for one of the 250 GB drives. I'm looking at either a Samsung Spinpoint M series or the WD Scorpio. I can get either at NewEgg for less than $200. Any thoughts are appreciated. I'm new on this forum from the G5 forums.
    Thanks

    Glad I could help. Thanks for the . Good luck with the wife:->

  • Is it possible to swap out an imac g4 (800 mhz) motherboard with a mac mini

    recently i found an old imac G4 (800 mhz) and i brought it back to its former glory, however ive noticed its preformance to be laggy and inefficent, so ive been considering getting a mac mini. but i dont want to leave the design of the imac G4, so is it possible to take out the imacs motherboard and such and make it a moniter to use in a mac mini?

    No.  The heat and cooling mechanisms are different.
    But you can use a Mac Mini temporarily in Target Disk Mode for extra storage, as long as you don't setup the extra storage to try to boot the Mac Mini.  Partitions allow you to select what you will boot on a Mac, if you have the right machines.  Note, new Mac Minis are formatted differently than the iMac G4 can support for reading.   An older Mac Mini G4 could double as external storage for the iMac G4 via Target Disk Mode.  Target Disk Mode does not transfer the processing power of the other machine, it merely makes the storage available.  And also the optical drive.

    I would like to know if there is a way to find out the traffic coming into and going out of ALSB (Number of Messages). Please let me know if i am not clear.There are two points. If you want to get aggregate traffic for all end-points in OSB, then out of box is not possible.It can be arrived at using monitoring capabilities.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/operations/monitoring.html
    If you are looking at the traffic at end-point level, then it is available when monitoring is enabled.

    What roaming charges? If you have a local plan there are no roaming charges. This is a major reason for using a local plan.
    Contact, or visit the website,  whatever local provider you are considering and get their plan details.
