Lost Iphone 3gs, can i buy one on Ebay?

Hi all,
I recently lost my iphone 3gs. Id like to purchase a used one on ebay, but Im not sure if I need to purchase a sim card as well. It seems like sellers are selling sim cards on ebay really cheap. Will these work with the iphone, or do I need to buy one from AT&T?
also, do you recommend I wait for the Iphone 4g to come out? It seems like a used Iphone 3gs 32 GB goes for around $390 on ebay. Any ideas on what the new one might sell for?
thanks in advance for the help,
Tom

I will certainly go to the ATT store, I just hope they will give me a sim. I was told on the phone that it would cost $20 to buy a new sim. If that is the case, I would rather get one on ebay if that is legal. Has anyone had any experience getting a free sim from ATT? Does it depend on who you talk to?
thanks for all the responses.
Tom

    yes you can
    A. how to make a ringtone using iTunes
    First, open up iTunes in order to make a ringtone using iTunes. Find the song you want to turn into a ringtone by browsing through your music library.
    Next, find exactly what part of the song you want to make a ringtone using iTunes. For example, if you want to use a specific section of the song from 21 seconds to 40 seconds, make a note of where you want the ringtone to begin and end.
    Now, right click on the song you want to turn into a ringtone. Click "Get Info". Now, in order to make a ringtone using iTunes, click the "Options" tab.
    Check the "Start Time" check box. Type in the point in the song where you want the ringtone to start in the format "minute:seconds" (e.g. the second mark would be 0:20). You can also be more precise by adding a period and putting milliseconds in after that (e.g. 0:20.150, would be 20.150 seconds). Also, click the "Stop Time" check box and enter where you would like the ring tone to end. Keep in mind ringtones can only be around 39 seconds maximum. Press "Ok". We are almost done making a ringtone in iTunes
    Now, right click on the same song. Select "Convert AAC Version". If it is in another file format, you can go to "Edit" then "Preferences" and under the "General" tab click "Import Settings"; change the file format to AAC. After you select "Convert AAC Version" a new file will be created, but it will only be the segment of the song that you specified earlier.
    Now, you have to find the file you just created. Right click on the new, shorter song and select "Open in Windows Explorer". The file extension should be .m4a. Rename the extension to .m4r by right clicking the file and selecting "Rename".
    Now you can delete the shortened version of the song in your iTunes library. Then, double click the .m4r file and it will loaded into your iTunes Ringtone list. Now you can make a ringtone using iTunes!

  • I am considering purchase of the new iPad and already own iphone 3GS, can I use my phone to tether to the iPad and use the phones 3G connection? This will allow me to buy the cheaper version of the iPad without 3G.

    This will allow me to buy the cheaper version of the iPad without 3G.

    You can tethe, but depending on carrier you may need to pay for that option... I've decided to have my phone on one provider and my ipad on another so i always have connectivity... More expensive in the long run, but I need to make sure I am always "on" for work
    YMMV

    how can i use another icloud account in my iphone? can i pay one?? where?
    My phone has reached the maximum number of free accounts activated where can I buy one to use?

    You can't buy another one.  You have to reuse one of the accounts previously set up on your phone, or create a new one to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

  • My Iphone 3GS can no longer get ESPN Podcasts.  It only allows me to type a review.  What is happening and how can I fix it?

    My Iphone 3GS can no longer get ESPN And CBS Sports Podcasts.  They only let me place reviews of the podcasts.  This happened a week ago.  Does anyone know what happened and if there is anything I can do to fix it?

    Could be any number of things. What user trobleshooting have you tried? Restart (power off/on) reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. See if it works after the phone restarts. Next is a restore from a backup (make sure you made a current one), then restore as a new device, which deletes all data from your device. If it doesn't work after all that, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the local Apple store, it is probably a hardware issue.
    I have seen something similar which is generally diagnosed as a hardware issue.

  • ITunes block my iPhone I can't buy music anymore

    iTunes block my iPhone I can't buy music anymore

    Hey, epoh, I haven't forgotten the long term solution for you, I just can't seem to find it in the user tips library. I know it was there, and I've asked some of the folks who have helped on this type of thing before to help me relocate it. Of course, they all decided they were "Irish" and (although it has nothing to do with being Irish) are still recovering from celebrations designed to make bartenders rich and breweries dry.
    Hopefully they will be back soon. In the mean time, Rod has suggested two things. One would be taking a look at your account page (click on your account name when in the iTunes Music Store) and seeing if there isn't a way to reset it in the purchase history screen. I don't see anything like that there, but then again, I don't have anything stuck in my cart either
    Give that a shot, then try deauthorizing your computer and reauthorizing it. I see where he is going with this one. It's quite possible that this action will get rid of anything that was hanging out under that particular account name.
    Give these both a shot, and see if it doesn't shake that album loose. If it doesn't, I'm sure someone has a link to the fix I'm thinking of.

  • If I get my iphone unlocked can I buy a sim card in Spain and then use it there and get free 3g access

    If I get my iphone unlocked can I buy a sim card in Spain and then use it there and get free 3g access

    No. You can't activate any iPhone without a sim card installed. The sim card itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. Since you updated the software, the phone requires re-activation, thus you need a sim card. You can borrow one from someone, but bottom line, you need a sim card.

  • HT4436 My family has multiple iPhones.  Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

    My family has multiple iPhones.  Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

    If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account.  You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

  • HT4859 If I backup to iCloud from iPhone 3GS, can I delete all my photos off my iPhone and be able to view them from the computer?

    My memory is full, if I back up to iCloud using my iPhone 3GS can I delete the photos off my device and be able to restore my phone and get my contacts back and save photos onto a computer?

    Export Photos and Videos from Camera Roll to your computer.
    Empty Camera Roll.
    Make a Folder/Album with all photos and videos you want to have in your iPhone and sync them through iTunes.
    This will free up space in your iPhone and your iCloud.
    The backup of Camera Roll in iCloud is only to restore your iPhone. You can't access them directly.

    Because the XP597A3 (actually any of these product numbers; XP597AA, XP597A3, XP597AS) is a HP 2011x 20" LCD/LED widescreen monitor. The OP was looking for an A/C adapter power supply for the HP 2711x 27" LCD/LED widescreen monitor, which is product # XP600AA or XP600A3. The adapter power supply I linked to, is the correct part for the 2711x monitor.... that is why not those other parts.

  • I bought a second hand ipad mini without a simm chip. Can I buy one at the Verizon store and get a pre-paid plan?

    I bought a second hand ipad mini without a simm chip. Can I buy one at the Verizon store and get a pre-paid plan?

    IPad mini unless branded for Verizon use will not be accepted for prepaid use. Apple will tell you that the mini is compatable with all carriers, you simply walk into the carrier of choice and ask for a nano Sim.
    You pop it in, you turn on cellular if not already on and follow the screen prompts to get you up and running. Its quite easy.
    I found my wife's mini only functions on Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T who I set up service with.
    Verizon blocks the activation due to the emeid of the device. Apple says it is fully operable on Verizon but they don't let you activate unless its purchased from them or from Apple to use on their system.
    Good Luck
