Need Help: Have non-working Iphone, wanna wait til 3G Iphone, what do I do?

Really quick, I dropped the phone in water five days ago. It comes on but wont unlock(slide to the right). Now the SIM card is not in I havent put it in yet because I have to work for a few days. It shows NO SIM on top left and a lock icon on top. Does that mean it will unlock when I put MY SIM CARD in? Second if this doesnt work, what can I do til July 11 for a phone? I dont wanna spend 300-400 on a different phone. Please help thanks

Just get any cell phone from AT&T, use it until the 11th and then return it.
You can buy the current gen iPhone (good luck finding one) and then return it on 7/11, please do research online before you do this since i don't think you will get all of your money back.
Good luck.

Purchased a non-working iphone 4 and am in need of help

Okay, so I purchased a non-working iphone 4 off of ebay, because sadly that was the only way I could afford one. Anyway, I began breaking it down piece by piece last night so that I might be able to narrow down what was wrong with it. And that is where I need the help of the apple community. I have cleaned all the contact metal on the inner part of the iphone, cleaned the logic board, the charging port. The person I bought it from said that it would randomly restart while charging, and once you unplugged it from charging, it would shut off. So far, I have not even been able to get it to charge at all, and therefore, no random restarting either. I was able to get it to come back on after I had cleaned everything off and put it back together, even tried to restore it through itunes, but it got stuck on the apple logo, and brought up two different errors on two different occasions, 1603 and 21. I am relieved that there is nothing wrong with the lcd screen or the digitizer, as I know those are expensive. I already have a new battery ordered for it that should be here tomorrow along with a charging port as well because the previous owner said it could probably use a battery, and I just went ahead and ordered the charging port just in case there might be something wrong with it as well. My question is, is it possible that the logic board could be bad in my iphone, and could that be also causing my iphone not to charge, or restore to ios 6.1.3? All help is appreciated. Thanks.

Is it possible? Yes. Very much so.
The iPhone is not user serviceable. Apple does not sell iPhone parts. Apple won't touch it now that its been opened. Try checking ifixit.com for help. There's not much we can tell you.

I have a work iphone (4) and my personal iphone (5). Can I possibly get by with just using one phone or do I need both phones?

Hi Oliveira_Lisboa,
The article below has some information about the options and features available, it also has some tips that might help you locate your iPhone.
What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5668
If you lose your iOS device or think it might be stolen, these steps may help you locate it and protect your personal data.
If you enabled Find My iPhone on your missing device
These steps require that Find My iPhone was enabled on your device before it was lost or stolen.
Attempt to locate your device using Find My iPhone at icloud.com/find, or using the free Find My iPhone app.
Put the device in Lost Mode to set a 4-digit passcode and display a custom message with your phone number on your device. While the device is in Lost Mode, you can also keep track of changes to your device's location. Lost Mode requires that your missing device be using iOS 6 or later. If your device is using iOS 5, you can still lock your device remotely and display a message on the screen.
If you want to delete all of your personal information from your missing device, you can erase it remotely. Please note that when you erase a device, you will no longer be able to locate it.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
Note: If your missing device is offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or erase it. Your commands will take effect when the device comes back online.If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

If you do not have find my iPhone enabled under your iCloud account settings, then all you can do is look for it manually yourself. There is no way to find it remotely without find my iPhone active on it before it went missing.

I need help to activate my iphone 5s. am stuck on the activation page. can someone help with with the icloud activation bypass? how do i even go about it?

i need help to activate my iphone 5s. am stuck on the activation page. can someone help with with the icloud activation bypass? how do i even go about it?

You must put in the required information. If you do not have it, you must get it from the original owner of the phone. If you have forgotten your iCloud password, you can reset it at:
https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
There is no such thing as an activation "bypass". Activation Lock is a security feature. It wouldn't be that secure is you could bypass it, wouldn't it?

I need help in getting my Iphone 3gs unfrozen

Need help in getting my Iphone 3gs unfrozen. The apple logo is shown yet it will not restart. Suggestions?

Hi,
Try here > iPhone and iPod touch: Frozen and unresponsive

HT4061 I need help, I pluged my iphone and itunes said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated.

I need help, I pluged my iphone to itunes and got a message that said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated, to plug it in to itunes or to contact support care.

That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked to unlock it from the original phone carrier, then when you updated or restored it locked back to that carrier.

Please i need help i updated my iphone 3gs and now its not activating

i need help i updated my iphone 3gs and now its not activating

What happens when you try to activate the iPhone?
If there is an error message, what is the exact wording of that message?

I have lost my iphone what do i do if i dont have the icloud thing that can find the iphone or anything like that

i have lost my iphone what do i do if i dont have icloud or "find my iphone" ?

If you didn't set up find my iphone, then there is no way for you to track it.
Contact your carrier and let your local authorites know.
Change all your passwords.
