Sim Card Tranfer from iphone 3 to iphone 4
I have obtained a new iphone 4 today. In the set up instructions, it outlines the instructions to transfer my sim card from the iphone 3 to the iphone4.
The sim card from iphone3 is larger than the micro sim card that accompanies my iphone4.
How do I transfer the information from my exiisting iphone3 sim card ti the micr sim card of the iphone4.
The upgrade to the new iphone4 was made because my iphone3 was no longer working.
Sounds like the instructions are wrong as the sim cards are not compatible. If the new phone has a sim card in it from your carrier you should be able to activate it without transferring sim cards. If not, you'll have to get the correct sim card from your carrier and have them transfer the service.

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 at full retail price from an AT&T store. I requested the phone to be unlocked through their unlock portal. The AT&T unlock system asked for the IMEI number, a copy of my receipt showing that I bougth the phone at "No Commitment" price. A few hours later I received a message from AT&T stating that the unlock request was approved. I then followed the instructions to back up the phone and restore it through Itunes. The phone activates normally with the AT&T SIM card. But when I insert my VODAFONE SIM I get the massage "THE SIM CARD... etc.
I tried again to back up & restore the phone 3 or 4 times, no success. I have also allowed 24 hours for the unlock process to complete. Still no luck.
I have checked again on the AT&T Unlock Status portal and it shows "Unlock approved".
Where is the issue here? Do I have to call Apple or return the phone to AT&T and get the unlocked phone through the Apple Store?
Thanks for any help on this. -

replacement SIM card.It appears that you have an iPhone that is locked to a carrier other than the one you were using. Now that you have tried to update the iOS, it has relocked. That is what happens if you are using a phone that has been hacked to unlock. You have also forfeited support from Apple and from this forum.

Hello everyone,
I just updated my 3GS from iOS 5.0.0 to 5.0.1
Since the update, Itunes says that no SIM card is detected, and the iPhone says that it cannot be activated. It also obviously does not detect any network.
I tried restarting the phone several times, removing the SIM card several times, but it did not change anything, the SIM is still not detected.You do not need to keep posting the same thing over and over again.
Look to the right side of this page at "more Like this" or do a forum search. -
Getting SIM card number from iPhone 5
I just got my iPhone 5. It's asking me to give my SIM card number in order to activate it online. The instructions are saying to take the back cover off of the phone. How do I do that? Doesn't look like I can. I tried using a pin to open the side of it but that didn't work.

This answer a little late but will post anyway in case another person comes this way:
If the SIM is already installed in your phone, you can browse to the Settings area and obtain there.
Settings > General > About
Locate the ICCID number. It is typically 20 digits long (5 groups of 4 digits). This is the SIM card number.
If the Phone was shipped with the SIM installed, this ICCID number is usually written on the label that is affixed to the outsided of the box.
Hope this helps.
This worked! Saved me a trip home, and trying to scrounge up a pin... -
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. -
if you dont have the sim card that came with the iphone and you resync it how do you get it to turn back on .?
You have been syncing the iPhone with iTunes on your computer without a SIM card inserted in the iPhone for how long?
If the iPhone says connect to computer, this means there is a problem with your iPhone that requires restoring the iPhone with iTunes. As already provided, not having a SIM card inserted in an iPhone does not prevent or shouldn't prevent syncing the iPhone with iTunes. Depending on the iPhone model, it is required in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3406
To re-activate an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS that displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen:
Insert a SIM card from the carrier with which you used your phone. Note: If you are using the same carrier, you can use the activated SIM card from your new device to do this. If your device is unlocked by your carrier, you can use any SIM card.
Connect the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
iTunes will then activate the device. You can remove the SIM card at this point and use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch. -

Invalid SIM card after trying to update iPhone 4 software to iPhone 4S software
When I have tried to download the new iPhone 4S software my phone has said, "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card." This has happened to me two other times. I have never taken out my SIM cards, and have always followed all the directions to update to the new iPhone software. The apple store has always been really confused when I have brought my iPhone in to solve the problem of having an "invalid SIM card" and has consequently figured out that my SIM card and iPhone have both been "fried" by trying to update to the new software and have subsequently given me a brand new iPhone each time. This is a very frustrating problem with apple, and takes too much time to correct every time. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Uninstatll iTunes. Restart your computer. Reinstall iTunes.

I carphonewarehouse in the UK to buy an iPhone4s, I went back to Ireland not sim card, then can not activate iphone how to do?
Carphone warehouse does not sell unlocked phones. The phones they sell will only activate with a UK carrier and will lock to the UK carrier used to activate it. You can not use that phone on an Irish network. Return it and buy an unlocked phone directly from Apple or one intended for use on the network you intend to us in Ireland.

How to save contacts to SIM Card? I am using Iphone 4
How can i save my contacs from phone memory to Sim card?
You can't. iPhone stores no data on a sim card.
Your carrier may be able to do so at one of their stores, but you can't do so using your phone.

Does Apple plan to add an iTunes Music app on its featured list of programs like NetFlix? I know one can access Movies through iTunes for purchase or rent, but currently there is not one for purchasing music through iTunes using your Apple TV device.
