Put sim card in iphone 3 or 3g

is it possible to put an active sim card from another ATT phone into the Iphone 3 or 3g and use the iphone as your "new" phone? do i need a data package in order to use the iphone internet? if so, can i use the same $15 data package i have on the old phone instead of paying the $30 iphone package?

thank you. if the data package is not the iphone data package, and i went on the internet, what would happen? will i have access and be charged for the data? or can ATT even tell the difference?

    There is no way that you can locate the iphone at all.
    The thief can restore it and use it as their own.  You will never know or be able to tell what they do with it.
    Very sorry.  Your iphone is gone.
    Report it to the police and change your passwords.

  • My new iphone 4  wont power on does the battery have to charge first? It was shipped thru mail and took 7days to get here.I managed to turn it on once and shut it of because i had to put sim card in.Now it wont power on.

    I tried holding down both buttons like everyone said and this doesnt work. My phone was shipped new from Ontario to Sask and took about a week to get here,Could it be because my battery is so low? And shouldnt it power on when it's plugged in or show a phone charging icon or have some lite on? My laptop won't even discover it when I plug it in. When I first took it out of the box i called virgin mobile.The lady told me to put sim card in because it did turn on at first and was asking for sim card so i put it in and all kinds of languages were displayed so i clicked on english and then then somehow shut the phone off because i wasnt familiar with it yet i have no idea how i shut it off.Anyway, I read a bit further and saw where the power button was and tried to turn it back on. No luck the apple logo appears with what looks like a hairline crack on the apple itself and a very thin blue bar no thicker than a pen stroke its about halfway right behind the apple logo like its going to power on but it doesnt, it just goes black.Then when I hold the 2 buttons down, the home button and the power button at the same time, the apple logo flahes on about every 3or4 seconds as tho its going to turn on but it doesnt, occasionally the bar comes up with the logo but not every time.What can I do? Will it work if I let it charge for a couple hours? Does it need a couple hrs and shud there at least be a charging icon showing me its charging?? I have it hooked up by USB to my laptop charging.My computer and Itunes doesnt even acknowledge its even there. PLEASE HELP? Thanks so much!

    Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

  • 4s microphone has always malfunctioned (people can't hear me) for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem?

    4s microphone has malfunctioned on most outgoing calls for many months. People can't hear me for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s when Apple Store thought it was probably a hardware problem, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem??? I think so! [Possible] good news: for the past 2 days, since updating to 5.1.1, no one has reported problems hearing me!
    I'm concerned Applecare folks did not admit to me that so many other 4s users also has malfunctioning mics.

    Why would that even matter?
    The device obviously has a hardware issue and is under warranty, take it to Apple for replacement and move on with life.  No reason to make things difficult.

  • HT201303 how i can save my new contact in sim card using iphone 4S  ?? plz

    iPhone stores no data on a sim card, thus there is no way to save anything to the sim card.

  • Can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?

    can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?

    Not as it is, no. The iPhone 4 takes micro-SIMs. It is apparently possible to cut down a standard SIM, but it would be best to just get a new micro-SIM from your cell carrier.

    I have no idea what you mean by that. This is what you need:

    Also, is your iPhone 3 carrier locked? If so, only a sim from the carrier your phone is locked to will work.

  • How can i put SIM card?

    Hello!! How can i put sim card?

    If you have a cellular iPad with a sim-card slot then you should have a sim removal tool with the iPad (or you might be able to use a been paperclip) and be able to extract the sim card slot on the left-hand side of the iPad

  • Brand new iPhone 3GS 32GB, put sim card in, turned on, Slide for Emergency.

    I just bought an iPhone 3GS with 32GB black, I used the pin to eject the sim card socket, and put the sim card in.then i pressed the silver power button at the top right corner for 3 seconds, it turned on with the gray apple. Then it comes to "Slide for emergency" with this itunes icon.
    Now what do I do?

    Ok seems to work. Thanks very much. Connecting to iTunes solved the problem. I presume I was one of the few cases where the iPhone didn't work without being hooked up to a computer first.
    (I had read reports about this happening to people after they had upgraded, or 'jailbroke' their phone, but since I had done neither of these things, I was worried)
    All iPhones have to be activated through iTunes. Usually it is done at the store when you buy it.

  • I don't see no place to put the clip and take out the SIM card on iPhone 4,where and how I open the phone?

    I don't see no place on the side of the phone to put a clip to change the SIM card ....where is the place to open the SIM card?

    If it is a CDMA iPhone there is no SIM tray.
    The non-CDMA iPhone has the SIM tray as below...

    Gave my old iPhone 4 to my husband. He has now got himself a sim only contract, but SIM card is not registering with phone and showing no service. What can I do?

    Take it to the Cell provider's store and let them do it.
    Just make sure the phone is completely wiped.
