SIM CARD INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

When installing or Removing a Sim Card Make sure You Use Caution: When holding the Sim do it by it's Edges an do not Touch any of the Gold surface as it extremely Sensitive to Static Electricity.
Note: the Reason i wrote this post was to make it aware to new owners to 4G an the Sim Card Especially the Mini Sim as it can be on the difficult side to remove it from the Holder. When i removed mine from the holder i used a x-acto knife with a No.11 blade it came out easy an when i installed it in my Razr i put it in as described but i used a Toothpick cut to wear it had a blunt face on it. I then put the toothpick up against the Sim an then pushed it in the rest of the Way.

Warning, it's also VERY EASY to put it in upside down - which I just realized I did! I got an error that "A SIM card is needed to operate this phone. Please turn off your phone and insert your SIM card." I turned off my phone, tried to put it in with the gold side up, couldn't get it to fit. Finally, after trying a couple more times, it slid right in! Now, all is working on my phone again! Remember -- GOLD side UP!

I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM

I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
school or company network?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Phone says sim card has been removed

Hi I'm having issues with my galaxy s4 saying my sim card has been removed but it hasn't. I really need phone for my work. What should I do

1) The SIM card may be damage,you may need a new SIM card.
2) Phone Sim card slot maybe broken,that could be a costly repair.
Turn off the phone,try take the battery and SIM card out and put it back in and restart again.
If it still saying SIM card had been removed......the above may happen. Good luck!!

Have just got my iphone back from my daughters who has been using it. I have put my sim card in and cannot update it or do anything as it is stating emergency calls only. it only recognises on itunes as her iphone what should i do please

i have just got my 3gs back from my daughter and i have put my sim card in and it comes up as emergency calls only. That is my first problem then when i plug it into itunes it only recognises it as her iphone can anyone help my please ?

I agree with wjosten. Sounds like a sim card issue. Was your sim card removed from a working,activated phone? I've switched sim cards in an iphone multilple times and never had a problem. You might try removing the sim card and reinstalling.

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.

Dear sir
I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
Please tell me whats the matter?
My phone serial no 86034HTCA4T
Modem firmware 04.12.09
Thanks

Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
iPhone unuseable.

I am having the problem . it says it shouldnt take more than 3 minutes then i get this message Could not activate iphone. i have taken the sim card out and put it back in even then its of no use. if any one out there can help us it would be very nice

I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

HT4528 Does the iphone 4 have a sim card tray, and if so where is it.

Does the iphone 4 have a sim card tray, and if so where

I you have an iPhone you have it ALL!
OK I think I can help you on this one, I think there is a missconception on the terminology, if the iPhone is from AT&T it does have a SIM card tray, you will find it on the left side of the iPhone. All you need is the key insert it in the little hole and it pops out.
If the iPhone 4 is from Verizon it DOES NOT have a sim card tray.
What the sales person told your sister is accurate, the iPhone does not have a slot for an SD card which is an "storage" card mainly used to store all sorts of data such as pictures, videos and more.
Locally the iphone has lots of storage capacity so your sister wont have the necesity of ever expanding her cellphone memory for the very reason of that she has the best cellular device in the market which is an IPHONE!
I don't think she will ever fill up her iphone's memory.
Here is what I found in effort to expand the differences between the SD card and SIM card
-Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format developed by Panasonic, SanDisk, and Toshiba for use in portable devices to store data.
-A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM) is an integrated circuit that securely stores the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices (such as mobile phones andcomputers).
I hope this helps your sister.

Does iPhone 5 sim card size and shape are changed?

About the sim card size and shape, there are some web sites talk about new micro - nano.....what ever sim cards for the new iPhone 5, I searched the details in the official Appel site there was no any topics about this issue, now I want the truth form any one knows it, is the sim card changed? or it is the same as for iPhone 4 and 4s?

Yes sim card size is changed, iPhone 5, 5c and 5s supports a nano sim which is slightly shorter than micro sim which is used in iPhone 4 and 4s so you have to trim your sim or you can get a new one

The fact that it is physically damaged may have quite a bit to do with the fact that it doesn't work...

All iPhones require a SIM for activation.
Insert a SIM in the iPhone.
