Sim card unsupported?

I bought an iPhone 4S yesterday for at&t and I am stuck on the activation screen. I try to use an at&t sim and it says sim is unsupported on itunes. It is unlocked for any gsm. I put in a tmobile sim and I get service but I cant activate it through iTunes or over wifi. Any help? Its running iOS 6.0.1

If I understand correctly, you're trying to activate an AT&T SIM on an AT&T network.  If so, and if you're in the U.S., contact AT&T at (800) 331-0500.  This number is staffed 24 hours a day.

  • T-Mobile SIM card won't work with my replacement factory unlocked iPhone 5

    On Saturday, my rear camera on my factory unlocked iPhone 5 stopped focusing. I took it in to my nearest Apple store and they replaced it. Problem is, now I can't get my T-Mobile SIM card to work with the replacement phone. The guys at the genius bar sent me to T-Mobile to see if a new SIM card would fix the problem, but I'm still getting an "Unsupported SIM" error when I try to activate the phone. Any insights?

    Do you have information about the model no. of original purchase that is printed on the back cover ?
    What is model no. of the replacement iPhone 5 ?
    If T-mobile SIM worked on the original purchase and does not work on the replacement iPhone 5, they gave you a wrong model.

  • HT4623 after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?

    after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?

    If it now says "invalid" or "unsupported" SIM, your iPhone was almost certainly hacked to unlock it from the original cell carrier and updating has now removed that hack and the iPhone has relocked back to that original carrier. You will have to contact that carrier and ask if it would be possible to get your iPhone officially unlocked.
    Regards.

  • Can I use UK iPhone in Canada with a Canadian Sim Card

    I have an iPhone 4 that was previously on an O2 contract in the UK. The contract is coming up to expiry and I have contacted O2 and they are now currently in the process of unlocking it. The phone was originally purchased through O2, not throught the Carphone Warehouse or other 3rd party.
    I am moving to Canada in the near future and was wondering if the phone will work with a Candian Sim Card from a Canadian Network provider (e.g. Rodgers)?

    Once it is unlocked, it will work on any GSM carrier in the world.  If it's a supported carrier, no changes will need to be made.
    If it's an unsupported carrier, then it will be up to that carrier to provide the necessary informationn to get the device working (APN's and such information).

  • HT201407 Can I use any sim card

    I have an iphone 3 GS and want to change my network carrier.
    When I purchased the phone it was open to all networks.
    I'm currently on O2 but want to change to Orange but my phone doesnt recognise the new sim card.
    Teresa......

    Yes. Certain models of the iPhone work best in certain countries, but as long as you purchase a factory unlocked phone, you can use it with any carrier that has SIM cards.
    This article has a list of supported carriers for the iPhone. If you use the iPhone with an unsupported carrier, you will probably find that it does not work well and/or that some features don't work as expected.
    Also, factory unlocked phones are sold only through Apple stores. They are not available anywhere else.
    Additionally, the warranty for the phone is valid only in the country of purchase. It is not international.

    THERE IS NO SIM CARD INSTALLED IN THE iPHONE YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO ACTIVATE - and there is? Has anyone suffered this and what to do? Thanks

    Possible causes:
    1)  Improper SIM card placement.
    2)  Faulty SIM card.
    3)  "No service" area of the cellular network.
    4)  Unsupported carrier.
    5)  Network locked iPhone. Trying to a activate a locked iPhone on a different cellular network. (Other than to which it is originally locked to).
    6)  The computer doesn't have an internet access on which you are trying to activate your iPhone using iTunes.
    7)  Apple server busy (rare).

  • HT1688 I have a damaged I-Phone and I need the contents of my calendar off of it. I did not have Mobile me at the time.  Can I swap out the sim card from the broken phone to a new phone and recover this calendar?

    I have an older I-Phone (3G) that for some reason the body of the phone has split in two.  This phone was a business phone and it had a lot of important information on it. I have a second phone that is also a 3G.  On the broken phone there is a lot of important information that I need in my calendar. Im not worried about anything else but the calendar.  I didn't have the Mobile Me account at that time or I would be having this problem. Does anybody know if I can ust switch out the sim cards. I just need to recover the old calendar, so im hoping that the calendar will transfer when I switch the sim card into the good 3G. If that doesn't work does anybody know of anyway that I can retrieve this information off of this phone?

    Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone.  If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events.  Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.

  • ITunes restore iPhone SIM Card no longer works.

    Ok, I had all my contacts and information backuped onto my computer so I could easily transfer them from my 16GB 3G to my new 32GB 3GS. After being restored and synced with my computer my SIM Card no longer works. It wont let me place a call or text. When I un-plug the SIM Card and then plug it back in a message comes up saying invalid SIM and then disappears. Also it either has 1 "bar" with the rest flat and no AT&T logo or 3G, or says No Service.

    Sounds like you need to call AT&T.

  • My sim card is no longer recognized by the ZTE Open sold on EBay

    After 6 month of happy usage of my ZTE Open, manually upgraded to Firefos OS 1.3.
    My phone suddenly does not recognize my sim card any more.
    I performed some tests with other phones, other operators, and other sim cards that lead me to tell that the problem comes from the phone.
    There was no special event that can explain this problem (no fall, no update, no water...).
    I tried to retart the phone, to reset it. No way the sim card is recognized.
    I seem to be able to call and receive phone calls, but no sms and no data.
    Can you please help ?

    Same thing with me, but SMS and data seem to work fine. Only seems to affect Usage app on my phone (ZTE Open C).

  • What steps do I need to take once Verizon unlocks my sim card for international use on another carrier

    Hi, I am traveling to Romania in a few days. I called Verizon Global Support and had them unlocked my sim card for the 4s.
    They told me there was some steps I had to take after they unlocked it and I will find these steps on the Apple website.
    Well I cant find what they are talking about and my search on the internet is not giving what I want.
    I see things about Sprint 4s and that u must connect your phone to Itunes to complete the unlock process is this the same for verizon ?
    The Verizon Rep told me I will be able to use a Internation Sim but I had to connect my phone to a computer after replacing the International sim and go threw a whole process of Restoring and resetting my phone threw Itunes. Is there true ?  I dont not have a internation sim with me is there any other way to see if its unlock and how the process is ? Do i need to set my phone to only run on GSM when I get there or will the International sim automatically switch the band ?
    I know its alot of question all at once but i just want to get to the point.
    Thanks any help will be appericated

    This is the only thing I could find but it does not answer my question or even what I was told by the Global Support Rep.
    Verizon has confirmed (here and here) they WILL unlock the SIM on the iPhone 4S, allowing for use of local SIM cards while traveling abroad (no word yet on whether this will allow for use on AT&T and T-Mobile.) This is different than the jailbreak unlocking method; SIM unlocking through Verizon is permanent and will not affect your warranty in any way.
    1. Meet the following requirements:
    * Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
    * The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
    * The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
    * The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
    * Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
    If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.
    2. Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone (only required to confirm that the unlock is successful.)
    3. Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occassionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.
    4. Get confirmation from the rep that the unlock has been applied to your account, then check your phone to make sure it recognizes your SIM and can connect (if successful it will roam on AT&T, assuming you are calling from the USA.) You will NOT see an unlock confirmation in iTunes as that is for a factory-applied unlock only.
    5. Enjoy your new unlocked iPhone 4S!

  • In new iPad 4g, when sim card is not inserted, I can not find the enable 4g tap in the setting-cellular data tap, can some one please tell me if this is normal and if so, then when it appears, thanks

    If the SIM is out of your phone, find my phone needs a data connection, so could use wifi - IF in range of a wifi and one that it can join (ie. a known network or one that is wholly open so no login required).  Your phone could also simple be turned off, so not findable, or it may have been restored (plugged into iTunes and restored as new) again, making it permanently unfindable.  Honestly, for someone stealing an iPhone, this is likely the first thing they do - restore as new and it is theirs forever.
    Find my iPhone is tied to the users iCloud account - the find function is part of the iCloud account's services and it communicates with the iCloud servers over a data connection - either wifi or 3G.
    Have you set up your iCloud account on your replacement phone, and is it working properly on that phone?

  • How much would it be to get the sim card reader fixed

    i would like to know how much the new sim card reader is.

    $7Billion dollars.
    Or simply clarify the issue the device is actually having.
    Apple does not repair devices, they offer Out of Warranty replacements for $199 (4S) or $149 (older models) in the US.

  • 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.
