Locked SIM card

Be aware that if you try unsuccessfully to add a password to your Sim card you will locked out requiring a call to AT & T for a PUK unlock code. Apple cannot assist with this problem.
iphone   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

or even if the sim card is burned and requires replacement.
I was under the impression that the sim card was locked in the phone and not accessible by users.

  • 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.

  • Locked screen and locked SIM card

    My screen will not unlock when I slide on the screeen from the key in the center to the lock?  and my sim card is disabled. Is there an override code to enable it?

        REUP, we all rely on our phones to stay connected with family and friends so I know how frustrating this must be. But don’t worry because I’m here to help!
    Are you still unable to unlock your phone and SIM card? Try rebooting the phone and SIM card for a minute and retest.
    What phone do you have? Are you getting an error message regarding the SIM card being locked? Please post back with additional details regarding your issue so I can further assist you.

  • Sim card locks since upgrading to 1.1.3

    since i upgraded firmware to 1.1.3 iPhone locks sim card if no connection 2 provider. Could it be an issue of 1.1.3?

    Matthias Stoll,
    Locked SIM indicates either a SIM Pin has been set. When a SIM PIN is set, the SIM card will lock and require the PIN to use cell services.
    This is a good feature for some situations, but it sounds like it doesn't meet your needs. I would recommend consider disabling the SIM PIN in your situation. Go to Settings -> Phone -> SIM PIN, and turn off the SIM PIN.
    If you didn't change the SIM PIN the default SIM PIN varies by carrier and is listed in this article:

    Hope this helps,

I fixed my phone eventually and now it has a little sign at the top that has a Sim card and an "!" next to it. I went to my phone status and it said that i didnt have a number, or anything.

  • IOS 5.0.1 problem with SIM card autorisation

    Hi
    I have Iphone 3GS
    I installed new 5.0.1
    And I experiencing problem with locked SIM card / Sim card not installed
    Phone I buy in USA and currently use in EU.
    I had no problems with IOs 4.2...
    Can you please help me out?
    Thanks

    iPhones bought in the USA are usually locked to the carrier and can't be unlocked. so, if you are using another SIM than the original one, your phone will be locked again to this original carrier after the update.

  • I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
    can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
    offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
    a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
    activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
    If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
    may offer a solution.

  • I put my sim card into a new iphone and tried to change it back to the old one and now the phone is locked. It's asking for a passcode and I didn't have a passcode set up.

    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?
