If I didn't ask for a SIM card when I purchased today, but after I went back home I found that I indeed need a SIM card for my new iPhone. Can I still get one for free tomorrow? Or... will I be charged for SIM card?
Depends where you purchased the iPhone and who your carrier is ,ask them

i bought a iphone froma friend just to use for a ipod but when i put it up to itunes it ask me for a sim card i dont have one and i was wonderiing how do i pass this problem
Insert a SIM card. If the phone is carrier locked, it must be from the correct carrier. You MUST have a SIM card present to activate the device. The SIM does NOT have to be "live". That is to say, the account it is/was tied to, does not have to be active.

i installed new 6.0.1 os it is done succesfully but after that insterted my sim it is showing sim card not supported any one plz help me
That message occurs when updating a phone that was hacked to be used with your network. Upgrading the phone has re-locked it to it's rightful carrier. You will need a SIM from the original carrier to proceed.

Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it
updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
Has the SIM been reseated? If not, try that.
Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore. Has any of that been tried? -
How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one?
Hi,
How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one? I just bought the phone and each time I try to switch it on to use the mp3 player, I cannot. It asks me to insert a sim card and I don't have a sim card yet. I was thinking I could use the mp3 player function of my phone until I buy a sim card.
Thank you for your help in advance,Thank you, I understand, yeah, I knew that, my phone is factory unlocked and I am going home, which is obviously not in the States and I am thinking of buying a local carrier there. However, I still have 2 weeks before I leave and cannnot wait to start using my Iphone 4. I thought at least I could use the mp3 player function. So as far as I understand, I cannot activate it without a sim card. I have been using metropcs for about two years and it does not have a sim card. In this case, do I really not have another choice but wait for two weeks to listen to music? My Mp3 player just failed me and I really need to listen to music but on the other hand, while I can use my iphone as an mp3 player in two weeks, I don't want to spend more money on a new one. So, do you have another suggestion? For instance, can I use a friend's sim card to activate mine? Would this cause any trouble, when I go home and buy a local carrier? I think these questions might kinda sound weird to you, but first time with an Iphone, extremely excited to start using under my circumstances, I need help thanks,

Do you need the SIM card when changing to another iphone
Do you need the SIM card when changing to another iphone
You posted in the iPod Shuffle forum; it might be best to post in the iPad forum, as I was a bit confused at first. Anyway,
It doesn't need a SIM to download apps if you have Wi-Fi. Can you describe this box a little more, or better yet, screenshot it?
Taking a Screenshot:
Quickly press then release the home and power buttons at the same time.
Get the photo on your computer and upload it here.
If you don't want to do this, can you describe it a little more? When you say "black box," I'm guessing it's an outlined box that appears around any item that you tap on. Is this correct? If so, it sounds like VoiceOver was enabled. See:
Turning VoiceOver On or Off
