SIM CARD switch between iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4

Can I swap my iPhone 3GS card into an iPhone 4?  Will I be penalized by Apple?

Apple has nothing to do with whether you use your original iPhone, 3G, 3GS, or iPhone 4.
Your carrier is the only one that would have any concern.
Keep in mind that the iPhone 4 uses a microSIM card so you will need an adaptor to take that microSIM and use it in the 3GS or any other GSM phone.

  • I cannot connect bluetooth between an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.

    I cannot connect bluetooth between an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4S. Any reasons this might be happening? Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thank you.

    To access iCloud all your iPhone needs is iOS 5 or later and an Internet connection, either via cell service or WiFi. Then just set up iCloud with the same Apple ID and password you've been using on your iPhone 4.
    You might want to consider just getting your iPhone 4 replaced by Apple. Based on the prices I've seen for iPhone 3GS units, Apple's replacement price isn't that much more, and you'll be certain of getting a working, non-hacked iPhone.  Apple's replacement price for the iPhone 4 is US $149.

  • GPS not working in IOS6 when installed on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4?

    Can somebody confirm that GPS location data (not from cell or wifi) is no longer functioning in IOS6 when installed on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4?

    I have the same issue exept my phone doesn't ring for incoming calls. I've tried every fix, restored the phone and spent over an hour on the phone with Apple Care doing a second restore. The supervisor told me that he hadn't heard of the issue at all and came to the conclusion that I'd somehow broken the silent switch and that I'd have to pay $150 to have it repaired, despite my insistance that it was obviously a software issue since the problem started immediately after I updated to iOS 6. Total BS. I want this issue resolved immediately considering that the phone is virtually useless to me if I have to carry it around and continually check for notifications and incoming texts, phone calls, etc.

    Contact the carrier the devices are locked to.  Apple has nothing to do with this and will not unlock any iPhone for end users.
    If the carrier offers unlocking and you meet their requirements, they will then submit the information to Apple to have the device unlocked.

  • Swap Sim between iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4

    I am going to purchase an iPhone 4, but must do so under my wife's line due to contract dates. I currently have a 3GS, she has a "standard" phone. She will inherit the 3GS and go with the iPhone data plan. How would this work in regards to the SIM's since the 4 has the mini SIM.

    I was told by an Apple Store Genius they would only do the transfer of IMEI and phone #s at the AT&T store. Apple store will not do it.
    The preorder receipt is quite clear:
    +"If you are swapping this device for use with a different wireless number, you must bring both this device and device assigned to the other wireless number to an AT&T Retail store to facilitate this change."+

  • Sim card switching between iphones

    The other day I dropped my iPhone, cracking the screen. I have a spare iphone so I just popped the sim out of the old phone and put it into the new one. However when I plug the new phone into iTunes, it asks me to create a new account with AT&T.
    Do I have to take it to the apple store or something? How can I get this sim to work with the new iphone
    thanks a lot

    Alright the woman from AT&T had no idea what to do...
    She suggested I go in to the Apple Store and talk to them. I really won't have time for that tomorrow and really need a working phone. If I set up the phone again, will it restart my 2-year agreement?
    With the new sim card in my phone, it just displays the the usb cord pointing to the iTunes logo (like when I first bought it). I plug it into iTunes, and it asks me to enter in my AT&T phone number. After verifying my account with my ss number and zip code, it asks me to enter in how many texts I want per month. This makes me think I am going to restart my 2-year agreement... which I definitely don't want to do. All I want for is the phone to work as soon as possible, and to not have to restart my 2-year agreement with AT&T. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a lot

  • Can I take my SIM Card out of my 3GS and insert it in another 3GS?   My daughter dropped my phone in the toilet tonight.   Can I take my SIM card that I've removed and simply put it in another 3GS phone (a relative's old phone) and it work?

    My 4 year old daughter dropped my 3GS in the toilet tonight.  Otterboxes are not waterproof in case you were wondering. : /   
    While my turned off phone is buried in a bag of rice, is it possible that I can take the now removed SIM card and put it in another 3GS for the interim?  I have an other 3GS (my mom's old one that we use as an iTouch for the kids) on hand that is attached to my apple ID.
    If this is possible, is it as simple as taking out the SIM card in my mom's old phone and replacing it with mine?   And does this mess anything up when / if I'm able to salvage my toilet phone?   Can I take the SIM card and simply put it back in my phone after having used it in the other one?
    Thanks.

    Put the SIM in the other phone and Restore it from Backup in iTunes. If the old one revives reverse the process.

  • Using iphone 3GS and iphone 4 with the same account

    I have an iphone 3GS 32GB and yesterday i bought an iphone 4 32GB. I want to know how can i transfer everything from the "3GS" to "4" without loosing any data from applications i had already stored in "3GS". I also would like to know if it is ok to use the two phones with the same iTunes account and if it is possible to use applications i had purchased for the first phone to the second, or i need to buy the applications again.
    Thank you in advance

    Welcome to the discussions,
    After you set up your new phone, iTunes will ask you if you want to set it up "as new iphone" or restore it from an existing backup, which in your case would be the latest 3GS backup. So you can use this backup to restore all compatible settings and data to your new phone. See what's inside a backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    You can use more than one device in iTunes with the same account, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of those. Applications can also be used on more than one devices, but you'll have to use the same iTunes account.

  • How much will it cost to replace the back cover for an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4?

    My iPhone 4 has some scratches on the back glass and my brothers 3GS has a crack at the bottom. How much will the covers cost to replace, and can I just take them to an apple store ??

    $29.95 USD at an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment prior to going in.

  • Speed comparison iPhone 3GS and 4?

    Hi,
    I am developing a game using Air 2.7 but I only have an iPad 1 to test it on. The speed is really good (a steady 60fps) but I'm a bit curious how fast it will run on 3GS.
    Have you guys done any speed comparisons between iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4?
    I guess the speed on iPhone 4 is about the same as iPad 1? 
    Thanks,
    /Andreas

    I have tested the same vector animations on iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iPhone 3GS. If you have selected to use high resolution, the performance on the 3GS and iPhone4 will be similar, because the iPhone 4 will have to update four times the screen area of the 3GS. The iPad 2 may be slightly faster, and I guess you may be right about the iPad 1 being similar to the iPhone 4. If you use standard resolution, the iPhone 4 may be the fastest of them all.

  • TS1814 I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it. Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do. Any ideas on how to get it working again?? I'm dying without it!

    This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier.  It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
    Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking.  Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing.
