Is it possible to use a sim card from a iphone 4s in a iphone 3gs if so how

I have a sim card that fits inside a iphone 4s but i have a iphone 3gs that i had factory resetted and i would like to activate it so i can use it as an ipod can i put the sim card from the iphone 4s inside of the 3 if so how do i place it in there?

No, it won't work because I think the iPhone 3gs take the full size sim card as far as I can remember and not even a micro sim.
The iPhone 4s has a much smaller sim card, so it just is not going to work.
What you could do is go to your carrier and purchase a Pay As You Go sim card in the correct size to fit a 3gs and put it in to activate the phone to use it as an iPod and then take it out.

  • Can I use a sim card from my galaxy S3 for and iphone

    Wanted to know if I purchase an iphone 5 can I use the sim card from my Galaxy S3 Verizon phone.

    hi there,
    unfortunately you cannot.
    The iPhone 5 uses a 4th generation SIM card (NanoSIM) while the Samsung Galaxy S3 uses a 3rd generation MicroSIM. You can however use your existing MicroSIM in an iPhone 4 or 4S
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • Can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?

    can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?

    Not as it is, no. The iPhone 4 takes micro-SIMs. It is apparently possible to cut down a standard SIM, but it would be best to just get a new micro-SIM from your cell carrier.

  • Can I use the SIM card from an Iphone 4s in a new Iphone 5?

    Can I use the SIM card from an Iphone 4s in a new Iphone 5?

    Yes you can install your current sim into the mini iPad. You have to cut the current sim to the nano sim. There are cutter available on eBay and amazon. You go to your local best-buy. They have it for sale. Just be carefully to align properly or else you will end damaging your current sim. Any little damage to the current sim will render it unusable.

  • HT201328 My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?

    My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?

    You cannot. The iPhone is locked to Softbank, and only they can unlock it. Problem is that Softbank will NOT unlock the phone, as they do not offer iPhone unlocking.
    Buy an iPhone in the Phillipines.
    PS Before you go on a rant at Apple, be aware that Apple does NOT unlock phones and they do not set unlocking policies. The carriers (Softbank in this case) set the unlocking policy.

  • HT1807 Can I use a sim card from Taiwan when I go there in a month on the new iPhone 5

    I am just wondering if I buy the new iPhone 5 on pay as you go. Can I use a sim card from a different country. I am off to Taiwan for 6 months in a month and would like to take the iPhone with me

    If your phone is officially unlocked, & either of the three authorized carriers, in Taiwan, have nano sims available, yes. Otherwise you'll have to get International Provisioning activated for your account & use the phone while roaming...very expensive.

  • If you switch your sim card from your regular phone to the iphone will it affect the phone bill?

    if you switch your sim card from your regular phone to the iphone will it affect the phone bill?

    If you have a smartphone data plan it wouln't change it. Otherwise it would force you to choose a smartphone plan. But why don't you just call AT&T and ask? And why do you want to use your old SIM? You can just activate the iPhone with its SIM if the phone is new, and if it's used AT&T will give you a new SIM. Either way you will keep the same number.

    No, the iPad 3 uses micro-sims, the iPad mini uses nano-sims - you will need to get a new nano-sim card

  • Will sims card from I phone 4 work in iPhone 4s

  • HT2309 I need info on how to use a SIM card from another country to have service on iPhone 4 & 5 while traveling

    I need to know any problems I might have getting a SIM card in another country and swapping it w current card in my iPhones (4 and 5).
    Need both phone and internet access while there. My carrier has no service (verizon)
    Also assume all apps and data on phones will still work?

    The GSM section of your Verizon iPhone 5 is unlocked and will work with any nano-SIM card. 
    Not all iPhone features such as FaceTime, iMessage, visual voicemail, etc, may work if using a carrier that doesn't support iPhones.  If using an unofficial carrier, you may need to enter APN settings to get cell data. LTE may not be compatable.

  • My phone is going to be cut of by orange cos I can't afford the bill but I got my current phone direct from apple shop can I use another SIM card from another network in

    my iPhone is going to be cut of by orange as I can't afford the bill, my current phone is direct from an apple shop as I had to have it replaced , can I put another sim in from another network and use my phone on a pay as you go from O2

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
