Selling mine, what do I do with the SIM card?

Please help, I'm selling my iPad 3G and I want to know what I do with the SIM. Do I physically remove it? What do I tell the buyer, how will he/she get a new SIM for it?
Please help, thanks.

You're assuming that the potential buyer will also be located in the U.S. That was why I posed my answer the way I did. However, that might be a nice thing to do if the new owner is also a U.S. resident. I didn't consider that.

  • What does it mean when it says there is a problem with the sim card?

    What does it mean when it says there is a problem with the sim card?

    Exactly that, there is a problem with the sim card.
    The sim card is the little chip that links your iPad to the cellular providers network to get internet anywhere.
    It may have moved in the tray and lost contact, it may have an actual issue, or it may be deactivated by your cellular service provider.
    Contact them to have them look at it or your service and see if there is anything wrong with it.

  • "There is a problem with the SIM card in your iPhone"

    I'm getting this error when I try to activate my new iPhone 4 through iTunes:
    "*There is a problem with the SIM card in your iPhone.*
    To activate your iPhone with this account, you will need a new, unactivated SIM card. Please use the SIM card that was provided with your new iPhone. If you are using the new SIM card, and are unable to complete activation, you can go to an Apple Retail Store or an AT&T company owned retail store to request an unactivated SIM. If you would prefer to have a replacement SIM card sent to you via overnight mail, please call us at 1-800-MY-APPLE. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused."
    Now I've already been to AT&T and nothing they could do with the account settings would work, in fact they had never seen the issue before. They gave me a new SIM card and that did nothing as well. Finally they tried out a different SIM tray, and that still didn't work. I have a Genius Bar appointment at the Apple Store tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. Do you think that the SIM reader inside the iPhone 4 is broken?

    I solved a problem I had with activating my iPhone although the error message was different from yours.
    I got the message "There is something wrong with your iPhone and it cannot be activated, please bring it to your nearest Apple service".
    Via a Chinese forum I found out its the SIM card witch is the problem. If the serial number of the SIM has a "letter" in it it won't work. If only numbers it will work.
    I now tried it with 2 SIM cards with letters and got the message over and over again. Than tried with my only numbers SIM card and it activated instantly.

  • GUYS MY iPHONE 4 IS NOT WORKING WITH THE SIM CARD IN ZIMBABWE,HOW DO I UNLOCK IT?

    GUYS MY iPHONE 4 IS NOT WORKING WITH THE SIM CARD IN ZIMBABWE,HOW DO I UNLOCK IT?

    Only the wireless carrier that the iPhone is locked to is capable of unlocking it.  You'll have to ask them if they will unlock it.  Some will, some won't.
    Hope this helps

  • What cameras are compatable with the SD card accessory?

    Is there a list of cameras that are compatable with the SD card attachment?

    The camera Connection kit has two parts, one is the SD card reader. The SD Card Reader supports SD standards up to SDHC, miniSD and microSD with adapters, and MMC. SDXC is not supported.
    The second part is an attachable USB port. Most digital cameras with a USB cable should work with the iPad.

  • Is it safe to sell my iPhone with the SIM card installed?

    I sold my iPhone 5 and forgot to take the SIM card out. I deleted everything off it. Do I have anything to worry about?

    You should have removed it. You cannot delete anything off the SIM, and the iPhone does not write anything to the SIM, however it does contain your wireless account info. But, since it is gone, not a lot you can do about it, but if the card is not active and disabled by the carrier then the person buying the phone will not be able to use it anyway. They will have to get their own and will get rid of that one.

  • What laptops will work with The Sims 3?

    I want to play The Sims 3, but don't know what laptops will run it. I really don't care if it runs prefectly.

    Not exactly. Though they are not listed on the BB website yet, some stores already a have new assortment of laptops for sale now.
    I just saw a quad-core HP with ATI graphics selling for $1299. I also peeped at least one new Toshiba and Asus model with enough spunk to play this game.
    The OP should wait for there local store to get in these units. It won't be much longer.

  • My iPad cannot connect to the activation server- after research it may have something to do with the sim card but mine has no tray,

    any suggestions on how to reactivate my ipad2

    My guess is that your router is not handling DNS forwarding correctly.
    Can you do an IPCONFIG /ALL from a command prompt and post the response?
    Also, go into PowerShell and enter the following:
    Get-ItemProperty -path hklm:\system\CurrentControlSet\services\dns\parameters
    Post the response.

  • I can't call anybody, but I can receive calls. There's no problem with the sim card, and no numbers are blocked. Help me.

    When I try to call, the call always failed.

    From a different phone, call your cellular carrier.   They need to get involved.
