My 5S does not recognize the SIM card although the card is recognized by another phone

I bought a new SIM card in Brazil for my 5S after it was blocked because I had lost it for about six weeks.
The phone did not recognize the SIM card. Thinking it was a hardware problem i took it to an Apple store in the US where the assistant showed that her sim card was recognized by my phone. However my SIM card continued not to work in Brazil. A colleague's SIM will not work either in my phone but my SIM card will work in her phone. What could be the problem?

What is the EXACT message you get?

    Ask the carrier in the US who the phone is locked to if they will unlock it for you - put an unlock request into that carrier.
    Other than that and if they refuse to unlock it, then there is nothing you can do except buy a new phone.

  • LR 5 does not recognize my external hard drive. It has  recognized this drive in the past. No help at any Adobe site.

    LR 5 does not recognize my external hard drive. It has  recognized this drive in the past. No help at any Adobe site.

    My external HD  contains photos I have worked on in the past.
    Additionally, I have added photos to LR5 directly onto my Mac HD. (38
    photos added when working in the absence of my external HD)
    Presently, in the Library mode, the Le Cie external HD is not seen in the
    upper left hand corner  "Source" location.
    The only way to "see" the La Cie HD and its photos is in the "Import" mode.
    These photos have previously been imported.
    I wish to use the La Cie HD as my source in the Library mode and proceed to
    the Develop mode.
    In other words, work on my previously imported, previously worked on
    photos, now on the La Cie.

  • Hp6600 does NOT recognize my wireless network IN THE WIZARD

    My hp6600 does not recognize my wireless network. It recognizes others in the area but not mine I have tried the network wizard several time and the online help but it's not working.  I bought this machine especially so that I can print wirelessly.  It would cost me $100 to have someone from Geek come in, that's ridiculous.  i should be able to set up my own printer. I set up a hp8600 at home. 

    Hi @fedup22,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I am sorry to hear that your HP Officejet 6600 is not recognizing your wireless network, but I am happy to help!
    For further assistance, I will need to know some additional information:
    If the printer is able to make copies.
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well. 
    In the meantime, please see the following:
    This printing guide, Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue as it address the fact the printer is offline.
    Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. (Once established this guide will help you maintain the connection.)

  • Elements 11 does not recognize jpg - may have corrupted the files.  What to do?  Re-install?

    A recent batch of vacation pics seemed to import OK into elements 11, then next time I opened the program, most of the files could no longer be read by elements or any program, e.g. Windows picture viewer, etc.  I was able to recover them from the camera card (whew!), and they are recognized by other programs but not elements 11.  Any suggestions?

    No other program would open the files, either.  The problem started with one file, then literally hundreds of vacation photos were corrupted as well.  I found a program on the internet that recovered the deleted files from my camera's card.  Elements would not import these jpegs even after uninstalling and re-installing PSE, although I could open them with other programs, and even open them one by one with the editor.  Very strange.

  • My Mac does not recognize that I have downloaded the newest version

    I continue to get the error message that I cannot open a pages file until I download the newest version. I have downloaded the version. The apple store recognizes that I have downloaded the version and yet, pages will not open the files.
    What next?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • My new 4S does not recognize my SIM contacts

    Just bought an unlocked 4S, iOS 5.1.1, no updates required. SIM displays all contacts while in other phones (contacts are stored on the SIM itself), but while in iPhone, no contacts are visible, yet no error messages present. Does this have a standard solution?...   

    Gosh, so easy!!! Haven't scrolled down the whole menu...
    Many thanks!!! Problem resolved.

    how i can solve these problems and how to upgrade to android 2.3

    Not sure if upgrading to 2.3 will solve the problems you mentioned.
    Some people are stating that after going to 2.3 their phones became unstable.
    On the other hand there are many people who have gone to 2.3 and have no issues. eg myself.
    If you want to go to Android 2.3, then no point in trying to solve the problems you have currently on Android 2.1
    To update your phone to Android 2.3 there are 3 ways to do it. Two are official methods and one unofficial way.
    Official methods.
    1. Use PC Companion to perform the update.
    2. SE Update service ( http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1309763183/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.7.13.exe )
    Unofficial method
    Manually flash the firmware. Check out the following post

  • Organizer problems with Elements 12---running a PC windows 7 ---cannot set up new places subcategory and elements does not recognize that I am on the internet

    Has anyone had similar problems to the above and what is the fix??
    Thanks

    The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
    Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
    This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

  • Nokia 1661 does not recognize sim

    Hello everyone, I am desperately needing help. My nokia 1661 does not recognize my sim. I am using a O2 sim. Please don't tell me to get a new sim because I have 30 pounds on that sim and lots of vouchers and other stuff.

    Hi HenryJia,
    Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
    If your 1661 has been locked to another operator it will not accept the SIM. Do you see a notification when you start the phone or does it display 'no service' or 'offline'. Have your tried to change the phone profile to the general profile? You can do this by going to Menu>Settings>Profiles>General 'activate'.
    Have you tried if the SIM does work in another phone or another SIM in your 1661?
    Hope his helps,
    Kosh

  • HT4352 I have home sharing turned on on my computer but the Apple TV does not recognize it even though the same Appleid and password is used. Does anyone have this issue and, if so, how did you resolve it?

    Issue with Apple TV not recognizing the home sharing option in itunes. Calls for paswrod but even when added it still does not recognize it. iTunes indicates that the home sharing optionis on but this is apparently not seen by Appletv. How can this be resolved?

    Hi Augstiner57, I have the same problem.  Did you figure it out?  Mine seems to have happened after I updated Apple TV. Now it doesn't recognize my Home Sharing even though on my MacBook is it turned on.
    I am running an old OS  though (Leopard) so  I am wondering if I need to upgrade.

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • HT1688 camera on 4s , i have downloaded all pics and their is still 129 pics that the lap top does not recognize? how can i download these pics?

    i have just downloaded 407pics from my 4s. i turned off phone then turn on after 3-4 min. I looked at Camera to ensure that all pices were gone and their is still 129 photos and 29 videos ( no Album) . when i then plugged the Phone back in to download these pics the lap top does not recognize any pics left on the phone?
    Help!!!

    Your photos will not be touched, but your computer might recognize the photos again after that.
    copied from this article:
    A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.
    You can also try another way to import your photos:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
