Sim card in X 300

I have just put in my new sim card in my X300 thinkpad.
How do I get it to work?
I thought it would install automatically but nothing happens?

welcome to the forum!
what model number of X300 do you have? are you 100% sure that it has a WWAN card installed?
keep in mind that all X300s and X301s have a SIM slot regardless of whether they shipped with WWAN cards installed at the factory. this is done to make these systems upgradeable in the future should the owner decide to install the card later.

Re Nokia Asha 300 sim card

Hi
I am just wandering if the SIM card from a Nokia Asha 300 will fit in newer models ie Lumia, N series etc?
i am stuck on a contract until November next year with Virgin but they will not upgrade and i find the Asha unsuitable for my needs. need a full screen smartphone, and dont want to buy one off ebay unless I can guarantee the SIM will work.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Asha 300 takes a standard sized sim cards but most modern phone now take a micro sim like most of the Lumia range.
If you want to switch to a Lumia, for example the Lumia 520 you will either need to get your sim cut down or swapped for a micro sim. Most phone shops have cutters or you can buy them yourself for around £5 online. Also many networks will supply micro sims for free without loss of number or credit even if you are mid contract.

Can I sign up for a month of data with Verizon without auto renewal and how long can I go without using my sim card before it is deactivated?

When I checked out Verizon's data plans online, the only option I saw that did not involve automatic renewals was the option to pay $5 for a day of 300 MB. The other options (e.g., $20/month for 1GB) all appeared to involve automatic renewals every month unless I go in and cancel the plan. However, during a chat, a Verizon representative told me that auto renewal of the prepaid plans is an option that can be avoided, it just isn't listed in the online information. Has anyone found a way to only sign up for one month of data without having to cancel the next payment?
Also, when I looked online at a site that compared data plans, it stated that one needed to use the Verizon network every 4 months or else the sim card would be permanently deactivated. But in a couple of online discussions, the limit was listed as being 3 months. Verizon told me 6 months. Does anyone know which is currently correct?
Finally, I have heard that if the sim card does become deactivated, Verizon tends to insist on making one buy a new one with a regular data plan and not the prepaid options.Has anyone had any experience with this?

GeekBoy.from.Illinois thank you for replying. I tried the Verizon support forum, but before I can ask a question there I need to register, and the first step in registering is entering my mobile phone number. Since I don't have a Verizon phone, I can't register and, therefore, can't ask any questions. I did look through previous questions and answers, but it only confirmed that Verizon employees do not give out consistently correct information. I guess I will try talking or chatting with two of three more of them and hope that whatever the majority answers are will be the correct ones.

Air Navigation Pro Using Integrated iPhone GPS without a sim card

I use Air Navigation Pro with my iphone on a passenger seat of the plane. Integrated GPS function works just fine without a SIM card installed, but only to a certain speed ~300 km/h or height then it can’t find any satellite at all. Can be this problem be solved with the integrated GPS?

Thanks for that, Paulfromwallasey. I live in a rural area without many cell towers and with WiFi only in my home. I do use offline maps (topographical and street maps) on my iPod Touch 4 outdoors (not needing a signal, WiFi or cellular). I also have a hand-held Garmin GPS receiver but would rather use the GPS in the iPhone (its positional accuracy, while likely being lower than that obtained from my Garmin, is likely sufficient for my needs).
I guess that one of the questions that I was asking is if I were to purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone, and the SIM card have been removed, would the device's GPS still work with GPS-enabled apps (albiet without the cellular-assist)?
Can any pay-as-you-go SIM card be purchased for and used in a deactivated iPhone4? Would this even be necessary for the GPS?
Thanks again.

SIM card failure on iPhone 5... Sprint

My iPhone 5 has already been replaced due to a screen issue. Now with the new one I am getting a SIM card failure message. The message states that the network has failed and my SIM card is locked. If I power off the phone it works for about 45 minutes then fails again. I took it to the sprint store and they put a new SIM card in the phone and spent the day checking everything. It worked for three days and now today I get the SIM card failed message again. I am going to the apple store again tomorrow...but for my $300 I've received nothing but a device that is unpredictable, and isn't working. Is this an apple issue? Sprint issue? My husbands phone works very well with no issues. Same phone same carrier. Do I return the phone ? I am super frustrated. Please help me resolve this issue.

See p. 14 of the iPhone User Guide.

Fix "no sim card installed can not activate iphone"

Ok, bought an iphone 3gs a few weeks ago. When it arrived it had a sticker on the side that said "phone is unlocked. Do not restore or update with itunes". Well first off, they sent me the wrong phone. I paid for an iphone for at&t service. So i thought that doing a restore would get me the phone i wanted. Upon completing the restore i did a reboot of the phone and it was at the configure screen. Put my sim card in and followed the steps to activate the phone. It would not activate, suggests i try thru itunes. Connected to itune and waited, then the screen stated the quote above. I have done several restores and it will not activate. Is there a solution, or do i now have an $300 paper weight?

Where did you buy it? It seems to me that you didn't buy the phone in an official shop. That sticker that says to not update etc... Seems like your iPhone is factory sim locked and that the person who sold it unlocked it with a non official software. Therefore, You should go p back to the person who sold you the phone and complain there.

Sim card tray stuck in iPhone 3G? (pics)

My current phone is a CDMA phone and I needed a GSM phone for my high school trip to France, so my father brought a cheap iPhone 3G on eBay that seemed to be in very good condition. Today the international sim card he brought came in the mail, and I'm having trouble getting the sim card tray out of this phone.
I tried using a stripped down pipe cleaner to open the sim card tray at the top, which appeared to work just fine at first.
When you push the pipe cleaner into the tiny hole, the tray only pops out this far, at the most.
After a little bit of tugging, I can get it out just a tiny bit further. This part makes me nervous, though. When I pull it this far, I hear a weird grinding sound, like two milk carton caps being rubbed together. I try not to put too much force on it after this point in fear of snapping the tray in half.
NOW I CAN LITERALLY HOLD UP THE ENTIRE PHONE JUST BY HOLDING THE TOP OF THE SIM CARD TRAY. If the rest of the iPhone was built like this stupid sim card tray, I think the tech repair industry would go out of business :/
Since I just brought a cheap phone on eBay, I doubt it's still under warranty. I usually have nothing to do with Apple, so I don't know what their repair service is like, but I do know that: 1)I don't have $300 to spend on repairing a $50 phone. and 2)There's no Apple stores within 100 miles of me (although there is a tech repair shop nearby, I never went there before and don't know what they do)
Is there anything I can do by myself to get that tray out? I really don't feel like wasting more money, but I'm very frustrated right now. I just really desperately want to get the phone working before the trip in two weeks.

Sorry for being a bother, but now it looks like taking it to a third party shop is my only option.
My mother heard me complaining about the phone and decided to "fix" it herself. Long story short, she snapped the tray in half and now I have half a tray in my hand and the other half stuck in the phone.
I'll see if I can coax the rest out with a pipe cleaner, as the rest of the phone seems to still be just fine. For now I'll just wait for my father to come home while I avoid eye contact with my mother for the rest of the day.
And thanks for the bit about sim card itself, but I think that much is covered already. Unlike my mother, my father knows how phones work so I don't believe the sim card would be too difficult for him once we replace the tray

HT1688 I have a damaged I-Phone and I need the contents of my calendar off of it. I did not have Mobile me at the time. Can I swap out the sim card from the broken phone to a new phone and recover this calendar?

I have an older I-Phone (3G) that for some reason the body of the phone has split in two. This phone was a business phone and it had a lot of important information on it. I have a second phone that is also a 3G. On the broken phone there is a lot of important information that I need in my calendar. Im not worried about anything else but the calendar. I didn't have the Mobile Me account at that time or I would be having this problem. Does anybody know if I can ust switch out the sim cards. I just need to recover the old calendar, so im hoping that the calendar will transfer when I switch the sim card into the good 3G. If that doesn't work does anybody know of anyway that I can retrieve this information off of this phone?

Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone. If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events. Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.

ITunes restore iPhone SIM Card no longer works.

Ok, I had all my contacts and information backuped onto my computer so I could easily transfer them from my 16GB 3G to my new 32GB 3GS. After being restored and synced with my computer my SIM Card no longer works. It wont let me place a call or text. When I un-plug the SIM Card and then plug it back in a message comes up saying invalid SIM and then disappears. Also it either has 1 "bar" with the rest flat and no AT&T logo or 3G, or says No Service.

Sounds like you need to call AT&T.

My sim card is no longer recognized by the ZTE Open sold on EBay

After 6 month of happy usage of my ZTE Open, manually upgraded to Firefos OS 1.3.
My phone suddenly does not recognize my sim card any more.
I performed some tests with other phones, other operators, and other sim cards that lead me to tell that the problem comes from the phone.
There was no special event that can explain this problem (no fall, no update, no water...).
I tried to retart the phone, to reset it. No way the sim card is recognized.
I seem to be able to call and receive phone calls, but no sms and no data.
Can you please help ?

Same thing with me, but SMS and data seem to work fine. Only seems to affect Usage app on my phone (ZTE Open C).

What steps do I need to take once Verizon unlocks my sim card for international use on another carrier

Hi, I am traveling to Romania in a few days. I called Verizon Global Support and had them unlocked my sim card for the 4s.
They told me there was some steps I had to take after they unlocked it and I will find these steps on the Apple website.
Well I cant find what they are talking about and my search on the internet is not giving what I want.
I see things about Sprint 4s and that u must connect your phone to Itunes to complete the unlock process is this the same for verizon ?
The Verizon Rep told me I will be able to use a Internation Sim but I had to connect my phone to a computer after replacing the International sim and go threw a whole process of Restoring and resetting my phone threw Itunes. Is there true ? I dont not have a internation sim with me is there any other way to see if its unlock and how the process is ? Do i need to set my phone to only run on GSM when I get there or will the International sim automatically switch the band ?
I know its alot of question all at once but i just want to get to the point.
Thanks any help will be appericated

This is the only thing I could find but it does not answer my question or even what I was told by the Global Support Rep.
Verizon has confirmed (here and here) they WILL unlock the SIM on the iPhone 4S, allowing for use of local SIM cards while traveling abroad (no word yet on whether this will allow for use on AT&T and T-Mobile.) This is different than the jailbreak unlocking method; SIM unlocking through Verizon is permanent and will not affect your warranty in any way.
1. Meet the following requirements:
* Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
* The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
* The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
* The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
* Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.
2. Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone (only required to confirm that the unlock is successful.)
3. Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occassionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.
4. Get confirmation from the rep that the unlock has been applied to your account, then check your phone to make sure it recognizes your SIM and can connect (if successful it will roam on AT&T, assuming you are calling from the USA.) You will NOT see an unlock confirmation in iTunes as that is for a factory-applied unlock only.
5. Enjoy your new unlocked iPhone 4S!

In new iPad 4g, when sim card is not inserted, I can not find the enable 4g tap in the setting-cellular data tap, can some one please tell me if this is normal and if so, then when it appears, thanks

If the SIM is out of your phone, find my phone needs a data connection, so could use wifi - IF in range of a wifi and one that it can join (ie. a known network or one that is wholly open so no login required). Your phone could also simple be turned off, so not findable, or it may have been restored (plugged into iTunes and restored as new) again, making it permanently unfindable. Honestly, for someone stealing an iPhone, this is likely the first thing they do - restore as new and it is theirs forever.
Find my iPhone is tied to the users iCloud account - the find function is part of the iCloud account's services and it communicates with the iCloud servers over a data connection - either wifi or 3G.
Have you set up your iCloud account on your replacement phone, and is it working properly on that phone?

How much would it be to get the sim card reader fixed

i would like to know how much the new sim card reader is.

$7Billion dollars.
Or simply clarify the issue the device is actually having.
Apple does not repair devices, they offer Out of Warranty replacements for $199 (4S) or $149 (older models) in the US.

I am traveling to India, north and south, with my ipad 2, G-3. It is activated by AT and T. How do I use it in India? Do I need to purchase a sim card there and if so what kind? Would they be available in the Delhi airport or where else in central Delhi?

Also in order not to pay a fortune for the service is it better to acquire if needed a SIM card only once there?
Check with your carrier about roaming charges. They are usually prohibitive. Best to get a local SIM.

How do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

So I am planning on getting an unlocked verizon iPhone 5s but the thing is my carrier is AT&T. So how do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

If you plan on using AT&T, why on earth would you purchase a Verizon iPhone? Doesn't make any sense. Yea, it will work on AT&T's network, but you won't get LTE, only 3G. LTE requires using a Verizon sim.
This is an extremely poor idea. Purchaase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, if you want to use AT&T's network.
