Sim card locks since upgrading to 1.1.3

since i upgraded firmware to 1.1.3 iPhone locks sim card if no connection 2 provider. Could it be an issue of 1.1.3?

Matthias Stoll,
Locked SIM indicates either a SIM Pin has been set. When a SIM PIN is set, the SIM card will lock and require the PIN to use cell services.
This is a good feature for some situations, but it sounds like it doesn't meet your needs. I would recommend consider disabling the SIM PIN in your situation. Go to Settings -> Phone -> SIM PIN, and turn off the SIM PIN.
If you didn't change the SIM PIN the default SIM PIN varies by carrier and is listed in this article:

Hope this helps,

If you enter your password on the ipad too many times and your sim card locks, is there a way of recovery without replacing the sim card?

That doesn't lock the SIM card, it just locks you out of the device.
If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

Iphone 4 keeps saying Telstra Sim Card locked once in 24 hours

During a 24 hour period at least once a day I am getting Sim Card locked.
Carrier is Telstra.
Seems to be getting worse (2 or 3 times) and happens when you can least afford it.
I Power off and unlock and it comes good for a non repetative period.

Barry

Took IPhone to Apple Store and was replaced within a few minutes.
Problem solved.

Did we tell you to contact Apple? No.
Do what we said and contact the wireless provider in Sweden to which the phone is locked to..

Does anyone have "No sim card" message after upgrading to iOS 7.0.2 on an iPhone 4 ?

Hello,
I've upgraded my iPhone 4 (8 GB model - GSM) to the new iOS 7.0.2 version yesterday evening and strangely enough he restarted fine, but with the "no SIM card" message. After having pulled out and put back in the micro SIM card several times without success, I've restored the iPhone completely to the 7.0.2 update, but the problem still lasted.
I've personally solved the issue by downloading the original 7.0.0 IPSW file and forcing iTunes to restore it: push on Option/Command key while clicking on the restore button in iTunes after putting the iPhone in DFU mode by pressing the Home button when powering on . After the restore everything works fine again and I had just to unlock my Sim Card the regular way in order to activate.
Therefore I'm wondering if anyone else has also encountered this problem and if someone could explain me the origin of this issue.
I'm living in Belgium (Europe) and using Belgacom Proximus as carrier.

SIM card locks when I connect to my computer

Hi,
For some reason, my iphone's SIM card regularly locks when I connect to my MacBook Pro.
This means...without me always having time to see it, that my phone is basically out of use when I think it is charging or synching. Quite annoying, is there anything I should do about this?
I called my telephone carrier and they said they'd never heard of this problem that

Two things you can check that may be causing this: 1. Settings>Phone>Sim Pin do you have a sim pin enabled? 2. Some carriers require a PUK lock on all their sims, in the US you can get instructions on how to unlock the sim by using the PUK code online in your account info. I'm guessing that your sim either has a sim pin enabled or a PUK lock. If the latter, your carrier will need to supply the PUK code. Or, get a new sim.

IPad sim card locked and I can't unlock my own device after I had to restore it to factory settings, due to technical issues.

I recently restored my iPad to its factory settings, and upon restart the iPad sim card was locked and the device was asking for a PUK code. I have no idea what to do next. Can someone please help me? I've had my iPad for over 3 years now, and I am lost! I am sure I can figure this out without having to call any service provider, because the iPad should work on just wifi alone, I never had it set up for 3G even though it is an available option on my device.
Thank you to anyone who can help!

All you can do is connect the iPod to a computer and try to get the music off using a third-party program like the free iFunBox. However, if the iPod's screen says disable or when you connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes it asks for the passcode to be entered on the iPod and you can't do that you will not be able to get anything off the iPod unless a data recovery company can do that.

German simyo SIM card "locked sim" in iphone 4

I'm moving to Germany for a while and I bought a German SIM card to save on call charges. It's a Simyo SIM card.
I had it delivered to my UK address and put it in my iphone 4 (unlocked) but when it powered up it says " locked sim" and asks for a passcode (only 3 attempts) does anyone know why this is? It's been fine on all UK providers, and I would like to sort it out before I go I 2 days time!
HELP PLEASE!!
Gaz

Hi, I tried to but it's email only and they are not responding, I also emailed the seller I bought it from and again no response. I'm hoping its just because its locked outside of Germany as most cards are and that when I get there it will decide to work.

No SIM card, tried to upgrade to iOS 8, now I can't use device at all

I decided not to use AT&T any longer a while back and got rid of the SIM card. I did not know I needed it! Now I have used iTunes to upgrade to iOS 8 and it won't let me use it. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks!

Hey Username000,
Thanks for the question. When using an iPhone without a wireless service plan, you will need to insert a SIM card from a new activated phone before restoring or updating it:

IPad2 3G does not recgonize SIM card after ios5 upgrade.

Recenlty upgraded to ios5 on my iPad2 Wifi + 3G. Was working perfectly until the ios5 upgrade. After the upgrade, it no longer recognizes the sim card.
Tried all the following things, but no success -
1. Rebooted the ipad2
2. Replaced with new SIM
3. Did a system restore of the iPad
Contine to get the following message on start up :
No SIM card installed!
Also, top left hand corner shows No SIM instead of 3G.
When I go to the Settings page, Cellular Data section is disabled.
By the way, tried the same SIM card on another iPad which had not upgraded to ios5 and the SIM card worked fine.
Pls help. Really frustrated right now with this ios5 upgrade.
Chetanovsky

Finally found the solution. New iPad!. The apple authorised service Center replaced my iPad with a new one. Not many questions asked! New one is preloaded with iOS5 and recognizes my SIM card.
Recommend people to do the same (i.e. get a replacement) if you have the same problem as mine. Do remember to backup your stuff before sending in your iPad to the service Center.

IPhone sim card locked

WHEN I WAS IN USA I HAD AN IPHONE 4 (version 5.1 ) with AT&T mobile SIM CARD .
NOW I LIVE IN GREECE . I TRIED TO USE A NEW SIM CARD OF A LOCAL (GREEK ) MOBILE COMPANY.
WHEN I INSTALLED THE NEW SIM CARD I GOT THE MESSAGE<<the sim card IS locked>>.
NOW, I can't use the IPHONE 4 as mobile phone !!!
DO YOU KNOW ANY SOLUTION
G.P.NIK

Only solution would be to contact AT&T and see if they will unlock your phone for you. If they don't, then you will have to buy an unlocked phone, or a phone locked to Greek carrier.

Z10 MEP0 - Sim Card Locked

Hi all,
I have a very simple problem but this seems not to be documented
I have a Blackberry Z10 with my french carrier Orange
I have received from them a network unlock code (an official one)
I have tried this code 10 times and now my device run correctly but refuse to unlock the network
I have introduce the original SIM card but it do not want to unlock the net work. I can't use my phone, even with my Orange SIM card.
"One or more of your network codes is blocked. This preveting your device from using the Mobile Network. Please contact your service provider"
When I contact my service provider 'Orange FR" they do not understand and ask me to contact Blackberry
What can I do ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After the ten attempts have been used, you only a few choices to unlock the device.
There are three routes, and only three, to achieve this.
* Purchase a MEP unlock code from a MEP unlocking vendor on the internet. Be wise and make sure you purchase from one with a good reputation and with good reviews and feedback.
* IF your device is in warranty, contact your service provider technical support. Tell them you have this issue which needs to be escalated to RIM level customer support. I'll warn you that most carrier technical support people will first assume and think you are referring to a device security unlock, and you will need to convince them otherwise and explain clearly what you need. THEY will not be able to help you because the carriers themselves cannot unlock a device which has had the MEP code attempts depleted, and should (and you will need to ask) to have the case escalated to RIM level tech support.
* If your device is out of warranty, contact RIM direct. See the Contact Us information from the website: http://ca.blackberry.com/contact/ The options you want to select to speak to BlackBerry Customer Care are 3 (for inquiries, orders, billing, e-RMA etc) then 5 (e-RMA and Out of Warranty).
Make sense? Good luck.
