Can I use a foreign SIM card in my unlocked iPhone 4s?
I Bought a second hand iphone 4s which was on Vodafone, then was unlocked for me by Vodafone to use on T-Mobile in the UK. I am moving to Germany in 2 weeks and want to know if I can use my unlocked iPhone with a German SIM card as my main phone? I don't want to have to buy another iPhone! Any help gratefully received!
For what it's worth - I travelled to the US for a one year period and I lived in California. The reply above is correct in stating that AT&T or T-Mobile are your only options.
To be honest, all you need is voice calls that aren't roaming as WiFi is pretty freely available - at least it was wherever we went.
You could just get a PAYG Sim card from one of the above providers - it was relatively inexpensive for us to use for a year so it should be perfectly adequate for you to use for three weeks.
Yes - there won't be data over Edge or 3G but as I said, WiFi is readily available.
The only issue will be converting an ordinary PAYG Sim into a Micro Sim for your iPhone 4. There are lots of videos showing how easy it is to cut one down - I guess you just want to make sure that it doesn't get stuck in the phone!
The other simpler option would be to leave your UK SIM in place and just turn off data roaming so you can only use WiFi. Then go and buy yourself a cheap PAYG phone from a Target or Walmart or similar. T-Mobile charged us $25 per PAYG SIM from their store whereas we realised we could get the same SIM with a cheap Nokia handset for $20 from the supermarket.
That way, you only need to make sure that you don't use your UK number for calls etc as US roaming isn't cheap.
Hope this helps. -
"Unable to load network list" on new sim card overseas on unlocked iphone 4
I recently bought an Iphone4 (unlocked) from australia. While traveling overseas I inserted a new sim and got the message "unable to load network list", and could not activate my new sim card. Could not find the answer on the discussion board here but got in touch with my provider back in oz who helped me.
Solution: You need your laptop with Itunes on it. Turn the phone off, then connect to your laptop with Itunes already running and then turn the phone on. When you click on your phone icon in Itunes it will say "Congratulation, your iphone is unlocked". You can then eject your phone and your new sim is activated.
Hope this helpsSorry not sure why your new sim card isn't supported...not sure if it helps but I had my laptop connected to wifi at the time also, but I don't think it should matter. Its worth a try connecting to internet with ITunes on, connect your phone and then turn it on and see what happens.

I have had my handset unlocked with orange (my initial network) I then went with virgin for 2 months and it worked, now I have tried switching to a pay as you go sim with giff gaff, 3 and Vodafone. But all states "no service". I have been told I need to put a orange SIM card back in to the device, plug it in to iTunes, back it up and then back it up and then do a restore from back up and should work.. But still no joy.. Still only works with the Virginia or orange sim. Could someone please help????

How to get sim cards changed for older iphone
I want to give my iphone 4 to my daughter and get an older version iphone. Sim cards are different. how to transfer sim cards ?
ThanksTalk to your carrier.

If anyone has any advice or information I would be very grateful. It appears that the Sim "holder" is too small for my Sim card used in the IPhone 3.
You should get a new micro-SIM from T-Mobile. It is possible to cut down a standard SIM, but often that leads to erratic behavior or destruction of the SIM.

Hi
my name is Al-Ameen, Am from Nigeria,actually my brother from the united kingdom sent me an iphone5, So when i insert my Sim card i discovered the iPhone is locked.
So the reason why am sending this mail is to ask for the procedure of how to unlock an iPhone from another country the amount paid and all the other information about unlocking an iPhone.
Hope to hear back from you guys.
Many Thanks
Al-Ameen.You need to contact the carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. You may need to talk to your brother about this.

i unlocked my iphone 4 factory and i upgrade to 6.1 when i connect it to itunes it apears
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.It sounds like you or someone else hacked the phone to unlock it. Updating it locked it to the original carrier.
How did you unlock it? The ONLY legitimate way is to ask the carrier it is locked to to unlock it. Any other way requires hacking or jailbreaking the phone. -

This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.Sounds like you are trying to use an iPhone that is locked to a particular
wireless carrier with the sim from another wireless carrier. Contact the wireless
provider that the iPhone is locked to and ask if they offer unlocking and if
you qualify. Only the wireless carrier that the iPhone is locked to can unlock
it. -
Hi! I need help! I put my sim card into a new iphone (3g) and then tried to put it back into the old one to get my contacts from it. Now the old iphone is locked and it's asking for a passcode, but I never set up a passcode on it. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone know what to do? Thanks!
Not sure if this applies to your region, but in Australia the SIM password is often written on the "credit card" sized plastic card that the SIM was provided to you with the phone by the telco. Do you still have this? It could be in the iPhone box?

Again YOU cannot unlock it - only the original carrier can do it -

I live in the UK and recently got my US model (A1428) iPhone 5 repaired at a UK Apple store. They replaced it with the exact same model.
The original phone was factory unlocked and I was assuming that the replacement phone would also be. Having done some tests it seems like it is unlocked (e.g. it has 5/5 dots reception and 3G) but I cannot get past the activation stage [iTunes doesn't do the job either]. The following message keeps showing up:
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
I am planning on bringing it back for help. In the meantime I am able to (using itunes) enter recovery mode, do a restore, update the iOS, etc. but I doubt that would help so I am currently avoiding it.
Any guidance is appreciated.The message you received indicates that the phone is locked to a carrier other than the one for which you have a SIM. You'll need to take the issue up with Apple. Nothing you do with iTunes is going to make a difference.
I'm quite surprised that the UK Apple Store replaced a U.S. purchased phone. They usually won't.
Best of luck.
