New sim - data but no text/calling

I got a second hand phone and a new sim, my data seems to work fine however I cannot make any calls or send any texts. Is there any way to sort this out?thanks

That's not a good sign if you are using a second hand handset, as those symptoms often mean the handset has been network blocked, possibly by the previous owner.
Where did you get the handset from?

Hey shivamr25,
Thanks for the reply.
After checking your PIN number, it shows you do not have a BlackBerry® data plan with your network service provider. This is required to use Google® Talk. Contact your network service provider to add a plan.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Is the iPhone jailbroken or was jailbroken?. In the article " http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 " it says:

I got a new galaxy s4 but my text msg still going to my old iphone4

I got a new galaxy s4 but my text msg still going to my old iphone4

I started with my carrier, Verizon, and they referred me to Apple/Support. They are regular text messages and since I upgraded to the S4 the text messaging remains with the old iphone4, as odd as it sounds.
Verizon tech said that he had seen this before and Apple could disconnect the iphone completely which supposedly solves the problem. I've had no luck getting to anyone with Apple Support.

Where did you get the iPhone?

(3) Someone not an authorized Apple agent..

I was informed my credit card expired in February but was not informed until March. I logged in and updated the new expiration date but now Netflix has cancelled my subscribtion. What can I do?

Was informed by Itunes that my credit card expired in February but was not informed until March. I logged in and put new expiration date but now Netflix has cancelled my subscription. What's up with this?

Contact Netflix and ask them.
Contact iTunes customer support and ask them.
Why would you think anyone in these user to user support forums would be able to assist in this matter?

Can I turn off cellular data but still text?

I just got billed for a $113 phone bill, all because of data. I don't travel, so it isn't roaming. Can I turn off cellular data but still text? I have free texting (plan) so I want to be able to text without wifi, but whenever I go onto games or anything without wifi, it says "turn on cellular data" or something similar, with two options (Okay, and Settings) I tap okay and exit the game, but it still charges me and it turns cellular on for the game. I don't want to continue getting charged for cellular games and such, but I still want texting. Is there anyway to get that?

Next time click Settings. Clicking OK is telling the message that you want to "turn on Cellular Data".
And again, did you look in Settings>Cellular under the "Use Cellular Data" section to see if your games show up in that list?

HT4528 Iphone will not send new calendar data but will receive it from PC and ipad.

I just set up a calendar on iphone, ipad and PC. Iphone will not send new events but will receive from both PC and ipad. I just updated to iOS 6 and am reading others have similar problems. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Are the other phones that can't receive messages iPhones? If not, that could be the problem.
See this Apple doc -> iOS: Using Messages
You can send and receive text messages using the Messages app included with iOS. Messages supports SMS and MMS on iPhone, and iMessage on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. You can also send iMessages using Messages in OS X Mountain Lion.

I had my iphone 3gs unlocked so i could use it in Oz, however although i can phone works ok, i cant get internet, but i the option of Cellular Data Network does not appear with the new sim? Can anyone help pls?

Hi Just wondered if anyone can help with the above question? I had O2 phone unlocked and bought a local sim card, but although the calls are fine i have no option for internet etc. I have done searches and got the info details from the sim provider to activate, but instructions say i go to : Settings; General; Network and then Celluar Data Network, but I dont get that option ? When i put back my O2 sim card, the option reappears?
Can anyone help me please? Off to Australia again soon and really could do with it working properly this time.
Thanks everyone
Ronnie

Hi Ronnie, was wondering what brand sim card you bought?
Was it from Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, Virgin or Mayasim?
I have a 4 S running iOS 5.01 is there an option in Settings - Network - Carrier? As this should be set to the supplier of the sim card. In my Settings - Network there is no option for Celluar Data Network.
What version of the iOS are you using?
Some prepaid sim cards may not have a lot of data, so I suggest searching the companies websites for the best deals before you come here. Telstra usually have good plans. If you take your phone to the shop you purchased the sim card from they will usually set it up for you.
Telstra runs on a different frequency to others and offers the best coverage in Australia.
Just for the record I am not an employee of any mobile company.

I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

How to restore a older backup with a new SIM

Hi everyone!
I have a problem. I have a Iphone 4, which I bought with a contract in the UK. I recently went to a shop to unblock it (I live in France now)
Before I unlocked it I made a back up (i am new to this stuff) and now my phone is working with a new SIM card but when I do a back up from the Itunes, nothing comes back. I only see the apps that I downloaded in my Itunes, but no texts/emails/messages/photos. I made a newer back up/sync after that by mistake. But that wouldnt be a problem right? I can choose an older back up but it doesnt do much....
I tried it once before I dropped my phone at a shop to unlock it, and I could restore it but it took 3 hours so I cancelled. If I restore my backups now, it only takes a few seconds. So I think it is lost??
So somebody, please help me. I dont know what to do! I lost all my contacts etc...
Please...!
Cheers
Marie

Iphone is disabled, new sim card not helping

i am no longer using my 3gs, but i am giving it to my sister to use as a toy (not for calls/internet). my friends locked me out of it, and it was disabled, the apple repair guy said all i needed was a new sim card, but now that i have it the screen says: iphone is disabled, connect to itunes. i am trying to connect, but itunes is saying 'this iphone has a password, enter password before you can connect' BUT IT WONT LET ME CONNECT. help meeee

Place the phone in DFU mode (search this forum for how to do that) and restore as NEW.

I've just got an iphone 4, with a new sim - although iam keeping the same number, my iphone keeps displaying no service??

ive just got an iphone and new sim, im keeping my old number, ive registered my iphone on my p.c but my old phone and number is still active, whilst my iphone keeps displaying a "no service" where the signal bars should be. I think there is a problem with the sim - does anyone know for sure??

Sounds like your new sim is not activated. Call your carrier, they will need the sim number on your new sim. It's a 20 digit number on the back of the sim.

Can i change my existing sim card on my iphone 4 with a completely new sim card, without losing information, icloud info etc?

Getting a completely new sim card but same network this week. I have an iPhone 4. Once i receive the new sim card, will my photos, music, contacts etc still be there with the new sim card in the iphoine? Will my icloud be the same etc? How would i transfer it over if i have to? or will nothing change ? thanks

Yes, you can change your sim card and not lose pictures, etc. The only thing the sim card holds is carrier settings. That said, just to make sure you are completely safe, backup your phone before you replace the sim. If anything goes wrong (it shouldn't), you'll have everything in your backup.

Can't make or receive calls but can text and use data

I have had signal problems since I have got this phone which is an s4 my wife s3 mini gets better signal while at the same location. Tried everything customer service doesn't know and now I can't even make or receive a call. I can though send and receive text and use data but when I try to make a call it just says dialing then quits. Anyone trying to call says it will ring until voicemail but I never got the call. Can anyone help

haynes88,
Yikes! I want you to be able to make phone calls on your cell phone! I would recommend what others have stated on here as well. Remove the sim card for a good 30 seconds while the phone is off. Then try to make the phone call again. Have you ever replaced the sim card on your device before? You can always get a new sim card for free at a corporate store location: http://bit.ly/3SdsA Please keep us posted.
