SIM Card Not Supported. Never Hacked iPhone Bought From Apple Store!
My 3GS was stolen yesterday. I have my never hacked iPhone 2G that I wanted to re-activate so I went down to the ATT store and they gave me a new sim to put in and activate. iTunes says that the SIM is not supported. Went back and tried another SIM and no luck. After 2 hours at the store still no working phone.
I never hacked the phone, just always updated it with the latest apple software. It sat in a drawer for a year now until my 3GS was stolen. Restore didn't help.
ANY IDEAS?
Mmmm...the sim you're trying to use is activated, correct? If so, try this:
See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
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. You, of course, would chose "new".

Sim card not supported after unlock iphone 5c
iphone 5c, 12.7 GB, version 8.1.1, after unlocking when i connect it to itunes w/ other sim, sim card not supported error registered,. i check it to IMEI and its unlock, but why icant use it? I try to restore to itunes and erase my iphone nothing works, what can i do?
How was the phone unlocked? Was it unlocked by your previous carrier? The only way to unlock your phone is to have your previous carrier unlock it for you.
If you phone was unlocked in any other way, this constitutes hacking or jailbreaking and your phone will not work with another sim card.
Get the phone unlocked properly by your carrier and there is no reason why it should not work. -
Sim Card Not Supported - Brand New iPhone 3GS
Hi Guys!
I won an iPhone in a competition and have just put my O2 sim card (that was previously in my iPhone 3G) in and when trying to activate it, I am getting an error from iTunes saying...
The sim card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
Here is a screenshot... http://twitpic.com/1uvazb
Any advice?Okay, so I have found out that it was supposed to be on Orange. Is there any way that I can get it across to O2, legally? I don't want to mess around with Jailbreaking etc.

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
ThanksWithout 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 phone blocked! Sim card not supported!
I phone blocked! Sim card not supported!
Recently bought an Iphone here in the Republic of Congo for about $600 and it was working fine until an update on Itunes. Now the phone just shows a USB cable and I tunes logo. When I connect the phone to Itunes it wants to restore and update, but then just blocks the phone again.Who did you by the phone from? Apple? A telecom company? Ebay?
The phone was most likely jailbroken and unlocked. Applying the latest firmware updated undid that.

i installed new 6.0.1 os it is done succesfully but after that insterted my sim it is showing sim card not supported any one plz help me
That message occurs when updating a phone that was hacked to be used with your network. Upgrading the phone has re-locked it to it's rightful carrier. You will need a SIM from the original carrier to proceed.

Where did you purchase this. The US phones do not come with the SIM removal tool anymore. They haven't for some time now. I'm not even sure it comes with any of the devices anymore. You can just straighten out a paper clip and do the same thing.

How long it takes to repair an Apple iPad with the error "sim card not detected". The ipad is in Apple since 19 January and still has the status "Repair in Progress".
There is no way any fellow user here can know anything specific about your repair status. You will need to call Apple and ask them yourself.

Where to find sim card nomber using a imei iphone 2g from at&t
where to find forgoten sim card nomber using a imei iphone 2g from at&t
The sim card number is on the sim card. If you don't have the sim card, there is no way to retrieve it, except perhaps from your carrier.

I bought an iphone 5 from apple store in USA, can i use it overseas?
i bought an iphone 5 from apple store in USA, can i use it overseas, eg, China,?
Yes, but you will be using it in China with the international roaming feature.
There are no unlocked iPhone 5's being sold in the US at present so you can't use it with a local nano sim card. There will also be LTE frequency compatibility issues too. -

hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you
Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones. -
hi, i pay new iphone 5 from apple store Paris and they have tolld me my iphone unlucked but now i cant reactivate
IMEI013417000881376Mate, I'm trying to find out if it was shipped like that or not. If someone else has had the same issue then I can go back to Apple and have them look into it further. If not then as I said Vodafone is selling second hand phones and they will have to replace the phone.
Vodafone account manager is saying that he has never heard of anything like it.
So I'm left with one of 3 answers.
1: The phone was shipped like that so its a factory error.
2: The Apple genius doesn’t know what he's talking about then I can go back to the store and ask for a second opinion.
3: Vodafone is selling second hand phones as new.
I need to narrow it down so I can deal with the account manager appropriately
