phone says no sim and pin lock

Thanx, the phone isn't locked tho, i had a nokia with the pre paid optus sim and the new phone has the new telstra micro sim in it, they told me once the optus sim stops working the new telstra one should start working but its not. and i can't do anything with the iphone, i have been trying to connect it to itunes becuase i thought that would work, but still nothing is happening.. bit confused and annoyed as i have no phone until it sorts out.

  • Why does my phone say invalid sim and why can I not phone or send messages on it

    I cannot use phone or text today. What is problem?

    Usually cuz its locked to a network other then the SIM's. Did you swap SIMs today? Or it's not seated properly. Take it out and reinsert carefully.

  • I have just moved to Spain and out in a Spanish sim into my Irish bought iPhone 4. It says 'invalid sim' and 'no service'. The phone is not locked to any provider. I have been told that its a handset issue. Please advise.

    1). Are you positive the phone is not locked? Where did you buy it? Did you get it unlocked from your original carrier? Only Apple sells unlocked phones in most countries.
    2). Did you try with a diffrent SIM. MAybe the one you have is defective.
    3). Does the Spnaish carrier you are using support the iPhone? Who told you it is a handset issue?

    Hi kpnit4rl,
    Please remove your battery and sim and reinsert it again. If the problem persists, maybe your phone is locked.

  • HT4528 Why does my phone say invalid SIM?

    My phone says invaild SIM. I cannot text, call, or connect to the internet!!! What is the problem??

    Yes, All iPhone 5's have SIM cards... regardless of carrier.
    Remove and reinstall the SIM.
    If the issue continues, get a replacement SIM from Verizon.
    FYI, Verizion uses SIM's in all there LTE devices.

  • TS1398 My phone says no sim card. what do I do??

    My brand new phone says 'no sim card'. what do I do?

    Try removing the SIM and putting it back. Try resetting the phone by pressing and holding the power and Home buttons until the silver apple appears. Contact AT&T for a new SIM.

    What were you doing before getting this message?
    Has the iPhone recently been restored or had the iOS version
    updated?
    Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    Have you removed the sim, checked to see that the contacts are
    in good shape, and reseated the sim?

    or a new one from your wireless provider?

  • Phone says no sim on top left wat does it mean

    phone says NO SIM top left wat does it mean

    I'm guessing that place's phone still has the SIM in it.
    Mine did and I got that error as well yesterday.
    It seems some people have been having an issues where all of the sudden, the SIM card isn't being recognized (in my case, I had successfully made a call with the phone just minutes before and then all of the sudden, it's telling me no SIM card).
    Rebooting the phone nor resetting the network settings worked to get it to recognize the SIM card.
    I ended up powering off the phone, popping the SIM card out, leaving it out for a couple minutes, and then putting it back in.
    When I powered the phone back up, it recognized the SIM card and so far, it's been fine.

  • When turned on says Accessorize Test and is locked.  How can I unlock and use it?

    when I turned my 30gb ipod on it says accessorize Test and is locked on this screen.  Any suggestions?

    Reset the iPod. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Somehow the iPod start up in diagnostic mode, but the reset should bring things back to normal.

    Hello Melliesan14,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad.  I recommend following the steps in the article below if you are getting the message "No SIM" when your SIM card is installed (this article refers to an iPhone, but the steps are relevant for an iPad that uses a SIM as well):

  • IPhone 4G. Says "no sim" and cannot make a call. Tried restarting without results.

    iPhone 4G. Says "no sim" and cannot make a call. Tried restarting without results.

    Could be a number of things causing this. You could try going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. If that doesn't work, try another SIM. Failing that, Try restoring the iPhone through iTunes
    If none of that resolves the issue, the iPhone may need servicing

  • HT5554 My phone keeps saying invalid SIM and doesn't work.  How do I fix this? I didn't even know iphones had SIM cards

    If i turn my phone off for a while and turn it back on, I will have service for a couple of minutes.  And then it says failure SIM or invalid SIM or no SIM. Then I have no service and can only use my phone with wifi making it no better than a ipod

    Could be a bad SIM card or an iPhone hardware problem.
    Try a new SIM card first. You can get a new SIM card at an ATT retail store. After explaining the problem, there should be no charge for the new SIM card.
    If no change after that, call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

    This happened to me recently. I had to turn the phone on and off twice. I also had to press on the top of the frame of the phone where the sim card is. My issue actually happened when the phone had not been dropped. Good luck.

    you might want to read this, looks like AT&T is no longer offering prepaid iphone plans, actually at&t never offered pay as you go for the iphone, you just jumped through a few loops to get it and now at&t has removed those loops:
