The Thief can read all of the data on your phone.
Change all of your passwords immediately. Notify the police in addition to your carrier, and if you had anything like credit card numbers, social security numbers, or anything else remotely sensitive stored on the phone, you may want to consider contacting your bank(s) and placing a watch on your credit files.

  • HT201407 I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card.  The instruction say to "slide to open" but I cannot open it!  Please help!

    I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card.  The instructions say to "slide the back off" the phone but I cannot get it to open.  Please help? 

    Huh...? Where did you get it? And what instructions are you looking at? The instructions do NOT tell you to slide the back off. The back doesn't come off. The Sim slot is on the right side of the phone. You use the tool that came with it or a paper clip to eject the SIM tray and put your Nano-SIM in it.

    what can in do?

    Well unfortunatly that advice does not always work. I bought a unlocked iphone4  from apple several years ago and went to att on a no contract basis. Six months later the phone crashed while updating the operating system. Apple replaced the phone with a new one. All is fine till I got a iphone5 and gave te phone to my cousin. The phone is now locked to att but att says the IMEI number is not a valid ATT IMEI and therfore cant unlock it. Apple says there is nothing They can or are willing to do so now I am stuck for a 600.00 phone that can't be used.
    If anyoun knows a way naround this situation mI would appreciate a heads up.

    Or if you've recently got the phone unlocked then you'll need to connect it to  itunes and then do a fresh restore to unlock it ,although for most users simply connecting to itunes for few seconds did the trick.

  • I want to use an old iphone as an itouch and don't have the sim card anymore and I just updated to the new software

    I want to use an old iphone as an itouch and don't have the sim card anymore (cut it to fit into 4G) and I just updated to the new software.... How do I reload the phone with apps and music?

    You'll need to get a SIM card. It can be an old one.

  • Which NB100 comes with Bluetooth and the sim card slot

    i am wondering which model come with bluetooth and the sim card slot,

    I was a little disappointed the Bluetooth is missing on the NB 1000 12A, agreed the Bluetooth logo is on the left side of the box although the actual product spec sticker is on the right side and it only mentions wireless b/g.
    Some of the listings for this model online do say it has Bluetooth although its evident its not included.
    I have ordered one of these to cover the lack of onboard Bluetooth support:

    Don't post personal information.
    You may have a defective sim card. Get another sim card from the cell provider.

  • Can i reset my iphone without the sim card burning ?

    can i reset my iphone without the sim card burning ?

    Why would your sim card be burning?. If anything is burning it is safe just not to use the device at all and take it into an Apple Store to be evaluated.

  • I have an iPhone 5S. Does anyone know who manufactures the SIM card verizon uses for the 5S? Thank you.

    Hello. I have an iPhone 5S. Does anyone know who manufactures the SIM card Verizon uses in the 5S? Thank you.

    Hello Erin and thank you for your quick reply.
    My concern is in regards to the recent revelation that the NSA hacked into Gemalto's systems and has access to the encryption keys for SIM cards that Gemalto has produced over the last five years.

  • TS1559 I believe it my have something to do with my modem firmware , I have a iphone 4 and no problems but i changed the sim card in my 4s and the firmware seems to be an older version could that be a problem

    I have a 4-s and a 4 I changed the sim card in my 4-s and now my wifi is not working, grayed out in fact, I also noticed that the modem frimware was an older version now on the 4-s than the 4, HELP

    The modem firmware has nothing to do with the SIM card or WiFi.  Was your 4S EVER jailbroken?,  See this reguarding grayed out WiFi setting:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim

  • Is it possible to backup an iPhone without the SIM card?

    I've been an iPhone 3G user until recently when I bought my unlocked iPhone 4S. I was informed that I need to get my SIM card clipped in order for it to fit the new phone. My situation is that I'm actually traveling in overseas at the moment and do not have my computer with me to backup my old iPhone 3G. So my question is: can I go ahead and clip my SIM card now and then backup my iPhone 3G later without any SIM card, and finally syncing my new iPhone 4S? Or must I have my SIM card in the old iPhone 3G while backing it up?

    Having a SIM card in the device has no bearing on whether it will backup or sync with iTunes.
    A SIM card is required to activate the device and use a carriers services (voice, data, sms).
    Instead of trimming the SIM card, you are better off getting a microSIM from your carrier.  If you accidentally mess up trimming the SIM card it will become useless.

  • My new iPhone 5s will not turn on after inserting the SIM card. Help?

    I bought my new iPhone 5s from US Cellular and attached it said to insert the SIM card before activation. So I shut the phone off, insert he the SIM, and now it wont turn on. Any help? I have to activate it today and don't want anything to delay it.

    Hi connorfromgrinnell,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it has to be frustrating wanting to use your iPhone but cannot turn it on. In this situation I would recommend the steps listed in the attached article.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Have a great day,
    Joe
