Micro-SIM not SIM

Not a great idea buying a SIM card , then downloading the user guide that states a micro-SIM card is needed! Doh!

Thanks! Didn't ask when I bought it , I bought it on-line and didn't see a reference to the sim card type . Oh well! Seems like a great device ...but I have a few things to learn yet! Still haven't got a clue how to download and save documents from the internet (eg pfs), the iCloud feature has worked well with contacts, diary, etc but documents ...that's abiother matter at the moment! :-)

My ipad does not find my micro sim card? Whats wrong?

my ipad does not find my micro sim card. Whats wrong

Where did you get the phone? If it was hacked or jailbroken prior to the update, this is pretty typical. If that's the case, it's now a brick.

Orange uk will not provide a micro sim replacement

As the title says, if you are still in contract and not eligible for an upgrade yet but were thinking of getting the iPhone 4 on pay as you go and swapping out your normal size contract sim for a micro one orange will not allow it, they said if you buy it on pay as you go that's what it must be used for and under no circumstances will they give you any sim replacement apart from for the same sim as you have at the moment. If you are on o2 your in luck as they will be letting you swap the sim if required.

hmm someone else on another forum said this
"Just got off the phone with Orange to see if they could send me a Micro Sim to use when I purchase the iPhone 4 and the short answer was yes.
HOWEVER she did say that for customers such as myself who are currently on a monthly contract with them using a normal sim card who want to get their account details moved over to a micro sim will have to change their tarriffs slightly. She said that the terms and conditions they have been given state that customers must move to an iPhone4 tarriff which is an extra £10 per month but does come with unlimited internet (thats actually 750mb as we all know) and free BT Openzone WiFi, in order to get your existing number account details moved to the new Micro sim.
I was on a 1200 min £35 contract which with the new iPhone4 tarriff will take it up to £45, but have decided to offset some of the cost by lowering my tarriff to a £30 900 min per month, therefore totaling a £40 which the iPhone add-on.
It is a bit annoying that they aren't simply doing what O2 are by offering an online service that you just enter the new sims SSN code into and it copies the details over for you for free, but I didnt fancy cutting the card, screwing it up and not having any use of a phone till a replacement normal sim arrives, as Orange say they wont replace lost big size sims with Micro sims."
When you say "Update: just spoke to orange again and they said this is now possible to swap your current iPhone contract sim for a microsim, so have just preordered" did you mean "Update: just spoke to orange again and they said this is now possible to swap your current FULLSIZE contract sim for a microsim, so have just preordered" ?
I dropped Orange an email about this earlier on in the week so will post what they say.

Sim not supported,but was sent micro sim thats compatable with iphone ..now what?

Have iphone 4 with no sim card. so contacted vodafone whom i have a contract with and arranged to transfer my existing mob num to a micro sim card to use in apple iphone4 . Once received connected to itunes .. picked up the iphone but said iphone was in recovery mode and click on restore. I have done that loads of times now and everytime it ends saying your sim is not compatable. Rang Vodafone as was so cross as the sim also wouldn't work in my old phone either ! even when clicked into the normal sim sized card.
Anyway , that was yesterday and was told don't worry your micro sim isn't activated correctly yet ..remove sim .. wait 24hours ,put sim back in and it will work . well it hasn't made the slightest bit of difference except when i put the microsim back in old phone .. it now works on that!
can anyone tell me have i done anything wrong? ... do i need to download any software first ? Would it make any difference if itunes were already installed on home pc to under my partners name? .. I have tried installing itunes to link to just me but thats just reverting back to itunes already installed !
if i took to a mob shop .. could they help ? hope someone can give me some answers

Where did you get the phone. An "unsupported SIM" message indicates the phone is locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. DO NOT take it to a mobile phone shop that tell you they can unlock it. They can not legitimately do so. All they can do is hack/jailbreak the phone. This will void any warranty as well as forteit your right to support from Apple or on these forums. It can also cause stability and security problems and you will NOT be able to update the OS without re-locking it.

IPhone4 recognizes SOME micro sim cards but not all

I'm new to this forum so please forgive me if this is a subject already covered.
I bought an unlocked iphone4 from the online Apple store in Singapore through a friend. I live in Indonesia, where it is not yet released so I had to trim a mini sim into a micro sim. Being cautious, I first tried this with a prepaid card, and was successful with 3 cards (could be used in iphone). Thus gained confidence, I trimmed the card I normally used and ... the iPhone doesn't recognize it. The chip on this card is larger than on the other three, but several websites assured me this should not be a problem. I am sure I didn't damage the chip. I've had the sim card for years and it works fine (well, until I trimmed it). Does anyone know how I could fix this?

The older SIM card is the problem.
See if you can get a new one from the provider, it will very likely work.

Micro-SIM Not Detected

Greetings,
Today when I went to switch my PlayBook from Wi-Fi to 4G I got a "Micro-SIM card not detected" icon when I tapped the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar:
It was working the day before. Any idea what would cause this? How can I fix it? I've already tried restarting.
Thanks,
Shane.

Hello SGoodman,
Have you attempted removing and reinserting your SIM card? If so, do you have access to another SIM card you can test in the device?

I have just bought off my son his iphone4, we all forgot that he was on o2 (but no longer) I am on vodaphone, got a micro sim card from vodaphone to enable me to keep my number, but it won't unlock, unless i want to spend huge amounts of money and wait 3 weeks, have followed the instructions on itunes for the unlocking but not successful.

TS4148 IPHONE 4S 5 HOURS OLD AND MICRO SIM IS NOT COMPATIBLE

Hello There,
I purchased a brand new IPhone 4S in a store today and have run into a problem.
I currently have a HTC One X (Beats) with a Micro-SIM card.
I opened the IPhone box and inserted the micro sim as instructed and went through as far as the wifi settings until I was greeted with the following message:
"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card".
The phone is sim free and it is a micro sim card that was purchased (from the three store and not cut) less than 4 months ago along with my HTC.
It works perfectly via that however not via the IPhone.
Could someone please point me in the right direction in order to get this resolved please?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

What country are you in, What carrier are you trying to use, and what store did you purchase the phone from?

How can i make my micro sim (which i am using currently on some phone) on the new iphone 6?

I am using an android phone which have a micro sim. And tomorrow i am going to buy the unlocked iphone 6, which needs nano sim. So how will my micro sim work with iphone 6? Or apple will take care of that for me?
Thank you.

One option is to ask you cellular carrier to copy the data from the old sim to a new one if the place where you buy the phone can not.

HT1365 why does having a telstra micro-sim stop me from being able to access my home wi-fi which is optus?

when I first bought my ipad 3 cellular + wi-fi, I did not get a micro-sim card. I only used my home wifi that is from an Optus broadband network.
It worked perfectly without any issues, good strong signal and fast internet.
no worries
Then 3 days ago I bought a micro-sim, from Telstra and inserted it and activated it.
It worked perfectly too, from home and everywhere. But I have plenty of download on my home network, so I want to switch away from my pre-paid Telsra month-by-month simcard to getting my internet via the Optus wi-fi.
But it no longer works.
I can no longer get a signal from my home wi-fi network.
The wi-fi is still working for other devices in the house.
I have tried resetting the netowrks to get it to find and recognise the wi-fi again.
It does find it, it does recognise it and allows me to join, but the top corner of the ipad screeen says "No Service", and then shows 3 bars of the wi-fi netowrk signal. !!
Do I need to remove the Tesltra micro-sim to get the ipad to recognise the home netowrk?
That doesnt seem right.
What am I missing?

Connect to a router via web browser from another device, open "settings" -> "wireless"( sequence and title of menu depending on model and manufacturer of your router) and try to change wireless mode to 802.11N or if this mode not accessable, to 802.11g mode only. Save this settings( router will reboot) and connect Ipad2.

US iPad 3G and using more than one micro-sim

Hello
I'm planning on ordering a 3G iPad from the US. I travel very regularly and plan on having micro-sim cards for the countries I visit all the time i.e France, UK, Germany and others. Obviously it would be a lot cheaper to have separate sim cards for each country as opposed to roaming on a single subscription.
My question is whether any micro-sim will work in the US iPad 3G straight out of the box. I'll have absolutely no need for the AT&T sim.
Thanks

This post is a little dated, but, as long as I'm here: I just got back from Canada, where I was able to do exactly this: I went into a Bell store in Vancouver and got a microSIM for my 3G iPad 2 ($5). We took my AT&T SIM out and put the Bell SIM in, and it worked exactly the way it should have: I went to "Cellular Data" in Settings and it let me sign up for a variety of month-to-month plans; I went for 5 GB of service for $35. The only thing I had to work around was that the sign-up form wouldn't accept "CA" as a Canadian province; I substituted "BC", and it was happy. The service worked great, and was much cheaper than AT&T's international data roaming plan.
I presume I could go back to Canada and re-use the SIM to purchase a new plan, but I'm not sure how long that would work -- do SIMs (and their phone numbers) used in this way time out after awhile?
To perhaps extend the discussion a bit: I'm going to be in France and the UK in July, and would like to do the same sort of thing, ideally getting one microSIM and service plan that would work in both countries. Orange provides service in France and the UK, but I'm not sure if a service plan bought in France would continue to work in the UK. Any advice?

Problem with IPhone4, maybe you have the same!! (related to Micro SIM Slot)

Hi,
I have bought Iphone 4 from "Carphonewarehouse" and when I got back home and after I put the micro sim card I shook the Iphone (it is my habit to check if a device properly assembled)
then I heared sound as if something lose inside, when I tried to figure out I found that the small part, which used to push the Sim out of the slot, is moving so it creates that sound
So please is that with everyone or just my mobile? let me now so that I can ask for replacement.
Regards,

Many thanks for your kind reply. Of course, that's common sense but if some have and others haven't,it means something has to be checked, otherwise if that resulted in other problem I would have no right to complain since that might be considered abuse.
So please I still need real cases whether this problem exists in all Iphones 4 or not.
Regards,

Orange uk have no more micro sims

Just got of the phone with uk sales after a no show of my micro sim that was pre ordered on the 11th of may and was told they have ran out, the sales person said they ran out thursday morning and not to expect the sim until late next week if you have not already received them today. So much for saying they would be with us on release day.

Don't worry about the Orange apps. The only one that is useful on the iPad is the wi-fi finder.
None of them are for iPad (you have to use the iPhone version), Orange Wednesday doesn't work because it needs to send you a text message, and Your Orange doesn't track your allowance on the iPad, only on your calls, texts, etc. on your iPhone.
