Pay as you go sim card data not working while roaming

Hi. I just boughan A1 abroadband sim card and it has a very cool offer : paying 0.59 euros per 1 mb in over 50 countries in the world.
Up to now fine. The only problem is when I put it into my UNLOCED iPhone 4 it connects to the cellular data network. I can see 3g or E next to my roaming carrier. The problem is when I try to actually use the internet I get a popout message saying that I do not have a data subsription and the data network could not be activated. Of course I do not have a data subsription it is a pay as you go card ! I've contacted the carrier and they told me there is nothing wrong with their network and I was told to contact apple since they might ahave a problem with the hardware settings. Help anyone ?

Not having problems with their network tells you nothing that is of any help.
Call them and ask: "Does your A1 Roaming SIM work with an Apple iPhone 4 (or substitute whatever model you have) running iOS 4.3.3.? Have you tested it?" If they say no then it is possible this SIM won't work with your iPhone. Return it and get your money back.

When i restore my backup from computer why do my minutes texts and data gets removed from my pay as you go sim card

when i restore my backup from computer why do my minutes texts and data gets removed from my pay as you go sim card?

As long as it's unlocked it will work with any SIM, incl. EE SIMs.
If you buy abroad you need to ensure it is compatible with UK mobile frequencies, on which I cannot advise.

EE don't supply vanilla PAYG SIMs these days. As soon as you get them & before you top up text STOP PACK to 150. You may have to pay for just 1 month of Pack.

Can I use my unlocked iphone on a pay as you go SIM card?

I recently bought an iPhone 5 unlocked on the apple store UK. I am wondering if I can use a pay as you go SIM card with a top up card. I don't want to pay anything monthly. I just want to be able to top it up. Can I use pay as you go if it is unlocked?

If the carrier you wish to use has a pay-as-you-go iPhone plan, then yes, you can. It's a matter for the carrier and not something to do with the iPhone itself, as long as it's truly unlocked.

I cannot realize a call, my SIM card do not works

My Sim card is not working well on my iphone 3g. I put it on iphone, and the iphone recognized it, but the cellphone do not show the cellphone company. And i cant do a call. Can somebody help me?

You are not talking to Apple here, so we cannot check, but I'll give it a whirl.
You said you bought a "without contract" phone. This implies that it is locked to a carrier, but does not require a two-year commitment. However, you also say you put a T-Mobile SIM in it and it works. Obviously the phone has not been hacked since you bought it directly from Apple, so I can't think of another explanation as to why another carrier's SIM would work on a "No contract" phone.

After i update my mobile sim card its not working i got message from apple to change the sim card and i cant change it please i want fix the problem

Yes, the message is self-explanatory. You need a carrier who supports Apple's activation policy for an iPhone.

Send it back to him and have him unlock the phone for you so you can use it with your carrier.

Get a new SIM from your carrier.

Recently I started having this problem with the Iphone5 IO7 software it says " SIM Card is not Installed" while it fixed the problem by repeated turn on and off but comes again on the second day

I am sure apple must be working on a patch or an io7 update. I keep on getting this msg while calling and phone does not receive any incoming calls when it displays a msg saying "SIM card is not installed". I would appreciate if apple try to resolve this software problem asap. Thanks

Can I use unlock US iphone 4s with a pay as you UK sim card

Hi,
I'm looking to buy the iphone 4s here in the US but I travel to the UK alot, so would I be able to use a pay as you go UK sim card with the US iphone 4s? as this would be the cheapest option instead of paying for roaming fees. I know that Apple states that it is a world phone but just wanted to make this absolute before running of to the store next month.

You'll need to purchase an unlocked / SIM-free iPhone 4S in the US when the become available in November.
Buy one now, and it will be locked to the network, with no way of unlocking it.

My sim card will not work with my Iphone but will for other Iphone's, My sim card will not work with my Iphone but will for other Iphone's

When I put my sim card in it comes up with no service. But I put it into a friends one and it started to work and recieve text. I'm not sure why it's doing this and what to do to solve it. Does anyone know?

Most likely you phone is locked to another carrier. Also, see this:

HT201415 Mutiple SIM cards are not working in my purchased un-locked iphone and ipad.??

I travel a lot around the world and previously was able to insert a sim card from another network into my iphone and ipad and it worked perfectly.
Recently I updated my iphone and ipad to iSO 6.0. and after that when I put my German SIM card in to both iphone and ipad it would not work any longer?? Got a message No service and after Invalid SIM
I double check with my Carrier and was told all my SIM cards are fine and working correctly from their end.
I then put the sim cards into another HTC phone and it worked so why all of a sudden my iphone which I paid alot of money for purchasing a UNLOCKED phone as opposed to being strapped down with a 2 years contract now my iphone doesnt work with using different sim cards??
Please HELP?

This definitely happened with the new 10.7.0.21! We are having the same problem, the apps are all in iTunes but cannot sync anymore! Apple needs a bug fix ASAP.

Second s5 update has made wifi and data run simutaniously, being charged for data only way to turn off Data is to go to settings. I had same issue with my other phone. Recieved two replacement phones the SIM card did not work on replacements took phone ba

Wifi and Data running simultaneously. Data was being charged to my account even though I was on WIFI. No one can fix the issue. I have wasted 8 hours of my life and went and returned my phone and got a new one yet after the last update I now have WIFI and Data showing that they are running simultaneously. I have looked at numerous message boards and turned off Caller ID don't have Volte on my phone but do get an error with Visual Voice Mail. I don't want any of these services, you are not helping your customers Verizon or Samsung with forcing us to update. I tried not to update my NEW phone that I had to get from Costco because of this exact same stupid issue happen on my last one. But every time I said NO to update the next time I did anything on the phone the UPDATE would pop up again. I would say NO it would come back. I was doing a text and it came up and I hit update not wanting to and then my phone began updating on a low battery. I had to rush to put on charge and then my WIFI and Data came back on together with arrows on all going up and down. I HATE the lack of support I get from SAMSUNG and VERIZON... Verizon washes their hands and say these are not Updates even though these are the features we have on all our phones like Visual Voice Mail and Volte...

I did look at the Settings/Cellular to check the applications. This is one of the steps I did with the person from Verizon who was an "iPhone Specialist". And he didn't see anything unusual. And I can honestly tell you they have very minimal number of apps on their phones.
When I went to the Apple Store the first time with this problem, they had me update the phones iOS systems to see if this would correct the problem. They were each running older versions but different versions. One son had one update to do and the other had a couple of updates needed. So, the problem started before they were updated and they weren't even on the same update. And nothing changed after we did the updates.
I didn't reboot the router and modem, because I'm not having any other issues with my phone, my husband's phone, our iPad, xbox, PS3, or laptops. Would the wifi only affect their phones?

Unlocked old iPhone 3GS for use with pay as you go sim in the UK on vacation. O2 sim works while ph plugged in. Unplugged, works short time and crashes. Sometimes won't even re-boot. Software on phone up to date as far as 3GS goes.

I brought an old IPhone 3GS to the UK on vacation for use with sim card. I had the phone unlocked with approval and instructions from ATT. Store in the UK recommended O2 pay as you go sim which works as long as the phone remains plugged into the wall. Once unplugged, it will work for a short time and then always crashes. Sometimes it will re-boot and crash again and sometimes it will not re-boot at all. One store told me to sync with itunes which I did on my Mac Book. I don't know if the sim is defective or if the software of the 3GS is just not compatible with the sim when on the battery. I have updated the software on the phone as far as it will go. Any suggestions? Maybe the phone is too old to use with the latest pay as you go sim cards. I am disappointed that this phone has not been reliable as a pay as you go and I have had to purchase a UK phone here in order to have a reliable phone.

There is nothing you can do. You bought an illegally unlocked phone off Ebay. A lot of sellers there will tell you it is unlocked but the first time you try to update the operating system it will put the lock back on to the carrier the phone was originally locked to. Sorry but unless the carrier it was locked to will unlock the phone I am afraid you have a very expensive paper weight now. You should have bought it from a reputable dealer instead of ebay.

Best Pay As You Go sim UK

For when my iphone arrives I got o2 to send me there rext and web micro sim, which for a £10 top up gives me 300 texts, 500mb of data and the £10 left for calls. What I was wondering is, does anyone know of any pay as you go sim cards (preferably where you only have to top up £10) that will give me more data/texts?

I think this is the best deal. I would say wait until Monday when THREE may have a deal, which may be better perhaps 1gb of internet, and similar texts or more. Plus free 3 to 3 calls.
Orange has similar deal to yours but 250mb internet but with magic number and orange wednesdays!
