Locked sim card! please help
i accidentally locked my sim card on my iphone 4s and i need a PUK code. I called customer support and they said i didn't need the sim card so i could remove it. I really would just like to reset the code. Please help!
Note you do not need a currently working SIM, only one that was activated at some time in the past on the phone's locked network. It can also be a currently working SIM from another phone; it is only needed for a few minutes. You can also, as you suggest, bu a prepaid SIM, but that will cost you the minimum for a prepaid SIM with your carrier.

HT4623 I updated my iphone to the newest update but now it doesn't want to read my SIM card. Help!
I updated my iphone to the newest update but now it doesn't want to activate. It says the sim card I have it's not valid and that I need to insert the som card that came with my phone. Problem is my phone was given to me by a friend of mom's and he just gave me the phone I had to buy a new sim card. It has been working all right until now. Should I go buy a new sim card? Help!
Your phone is locked to a carrier. Only a SIM from that carrier can be used to activate the phone. Ask the "friend of your mom's" to which carrier the phone is locked. You'll then need to contact that carrier and see if you are eligible to have the phone unlocked. If not, the phone is useless to you.

I want to update my iOS 5.1.1 from iOS 7.1.1 .... But I'm confuce because, I'm from Bangladesh , my I phone 4s is country unlocked from USA .... So my confusion is , if I update my I phone iOS , can be it lock again? Please help me.
You apparently aren't listening or don't understand English well enough to understand the responses you're getting.
An unlocked iPhone will remain unlocked. Updating a legitimately unlocked phone does NOT affect the locked/unlocked status.
It will only lock IF the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. -
HT5467 Hi am unable to locate the SIM Tray please help me
Hi am unable to locate the SIM Tray please help me
SIM of an iPad is located about 2 inches from the bottom at portrait view (not landscape view) on the same side of the volume button.
Use a needle to poke into the tiny hole of the SIM tray. With one swift pull, you should be able to eject the SIM tray. It could fly off if you pull too hard. So be careful of your strength of pulling. -
IPhone 4 with Att, 3g, I can receive calls but caller can't hear me. I tried reboot and remove sim card. Help!
Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem. -

i can't reedem my itunes gift card please help me
What happens when you try to redeem it ? Are you getting any error messages ?
Depending upon what the problem is, if this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes -
Searching for Network / SIM card blocked - help please!!
I have just purchased an 8700c from a reputable eBay seller from whom I have previously purchased other items.
The 8700c was advertised as Unlocked without a SIM card.
I have never owned a Blackberry before and am just getting familiar with it.
When I click icon to 'Turn Wireless On' and press the Phone key then at top of screen displays "Searching for Network".
After a minute or so displays "No Service".
I bought the 8700c because one day my previous mobile phone did exactly the same thing.
After an hour on my landline phone with the phone company they assured me the GSM network was functional in my area and suggested my old phone was faulty.
Not knowing if the phone itself had just died or if fault was with the SIM card I took it to the local branch of the telco.
One of the guys there swapped his SIM card into my phone and had same problem - hence phone faulty.
Thinking about it later I realised that it didn't prove there wasn't also a problem with my SIM card but I thought it unlikely so decided to buy a new phone.
Anyway, received the 8700c yesterday and have inserted my old SIM card, been reading manual, etc.
Whilst learning how to use it I've been asked several times to enter a password.
Assuming this was the PIN/password I had on my old phone to prevent use in case I lost the phone, I entered it and it was accepted without any error/warning.
So I thought I was right in believing the PIN/password was stored on the SIM and not another code, maybe in some EPROM memory in the old phone - I'm not so sure now.
Doing a Google search I've found mention of various PIN/PIN2/PUK/PUK2 codes used in mobile phones which, if not used correctly, can cause the phone to be locked permanently.
Here's current information I've found on the 8700c:
click icon Settings / Options / Status shows
PIN: {8 alphanumeric code}
IMEI: { 6 digits .00. 6 digits .5} i.e 15 digits and 3 periods
click icon Settings / Options / Advanced Options / SIM Card shows
SIM Card: Blocked
ID: {20 digit number}
click icon Phone shows
My Number: Unknown
click again to see list of items, scroll down to Options
click again to see list of items headed Phone Options
click on General Options
the 'Show "My Number":' line has value Yes
click icon Settings / Options / Network shows
Network: * None *
Network Selection Mode: Automatic
click again to see list of items, scroll to My Preferred Network List
click again to see one item which is GSM network associated with my old phone
So it seems this has been found from the SIM card.
The top left hand side of screen shows 'cingular' but I think I read somewhere that this was just the network for which the 8700c was originally issued and doesn't detemine whether the 8700c is currently locked/unlocked.
Is 'My Number' Unknown because the SIM card is Blocked?
Is the SIM card Blocked because I entered my old PIN password instead of the Settings / Options / Status alphanumeric code PIN or some other PIN?
How can I determine if the 8700c is really unlocked?
Are there some other settings/options or anything else I should do so I can get connected to the network?
Any thoughts would be very welcome.I am having exactly the same problem mate. Never used a Blackberry - received mine today from eBay (Didn't include a manual) and i have been trying to configure it with no luck. I can't connect to a Network/My SIM Card is blocked/My number is unknown - Even though my SIM works perfectly in my Sony Ericsson. Have no idea what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
