Switch sim card from old phone into 3GS?
Will it void my iPhone warranty if I take the sim card from my old phone (Nokia E62 if that matters) and put it in my new 3GS? I'll still have the data plan attached to my AT&T account, right? I want to switch sim card so I have all my contacts, but not if it will mess up my new iPhone.
You need to use the SIM that comes with the iphone and get the iphone plan. IPhone and it's SIM are "married" for lack of a better term.
You can import the contacts from your SIM into the iphone.

Can I put my sim card from my iPhone into my iPad 2?
I would like to know if I can put my O2 sim card from my I phone 4 into my iPad 2? Also would this cause any problems with my contacts etc stored onto my sim card?
Wouldn't work. You have to have a 3G iPad equipped for AT&T or Verizon to use the cellular feature. You pay by the month for this service. The 3G iPad includes a sim card & also additional electronics for AT&T or Verizon.

Switching SIM cards from different carriers no longer works on an unlocked iphone4
I am no longer able to switch SIM cards in my Iphone 4 which used to work before updating to iSO 6.0.
Why is APPLE now locking the Iphones to a network when I specifically bought an unlocked iphone 4??
Can anybody help me with this problem rather then I having to always re-activate the phone when I want to switch the SIM card having to use a PC and your Itunes account for re-activation??
Thanks,
MAXWhere exactly did you buy the phone?

Switching sim cards from different carriers while activating the phone
I got an iPhone 5 from a friend and am trying to switch it to my number. She had AT&T and I obviously have Verizon. Even though I have a Verizon sim card, it wont let me activate the phone with the correct Sim card. Help?
AT&T iPhones don't translate into Verizon compatibility.

I have an 8GB iPhone 3GS on AT&T, and I wanted to purchase a 16GB version on eBay. Will I be able to just pop the SIM card out of the current iPhone 3GS into the new iPhone 3GS and have it work properly?
Yes, you will be able to use it provided that the 16GB version of 3GS is either factory unlocked or locked to AT&T network (in case of a carrier locked phone).

No service, sim not provisioned, copy numbers from old phone to iPhone!!!
As Apple don't provide any sort of useful instruction manual with the iphone here are the probs and answers I encountered with my iPhone 3GS.
*copy numbers from old phone to iPhone*
1st problem is that my old Nokia had far more numbers stored on it than on the Sim card alone, so having received and opened box of iPhone with new sim card I switched off my old Nokia phone, removed old sim card, replaced it with new sim card and copied contents to new card, then ejected new card from old phone and fitted in new iPhone.
NOTE: You will need to have an iTunes account set-up.
From the main menu in the iPhone select 'settings' > 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars', then scroll down & click on 'Import SIM contacts'. The numbers should be copied from your sim to your iPhone which stores the numbers on its memory rather than the SIM. - I looked for hours before discovering this!
If you have more numbers on your old phone, then be careful to select numbers from phone / sim which is in the 'phone book' > 'settings' >'Memory in use' because you can more numbers from phone to sim and similarly protect numbers from deletion by moving them to the phone memory.
It took me three chip moves from phone memory from Nokia to iPhone before all the numbers were moved.
Note that text messages are NOT transferred from Nokia to iPhone via sim.
**No Service* or 'Sim not provisioned'*
Not able to connect to the rest of the world or SIM not provisioned may be down to you not switching your phone off properly, no thanks to the rubbish instruction manual with the iPhone where they assume you know where everything is!
Anyone looking for help on this subject, look to the button located on the top of the phone at the right, and hold it down until you see the message 'slide to power off' the slide your fingers of the message from left to right until the phone switches off.
This advice posted by my own problems with using the iPhone for the first time today.
Having played around with the settings for a few hours I need to make comment that the iPhone is light years ahead of its competition.http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

Can i put my SIM card from my old iphone 5 into my new Iphone 5 i just purcahed? And will my phone start working?
Yes all of the iPhone 5 family use the nano sim, so as long as you did not switch to a phone locked to another network it will work. But you do need to go through the activation/setup procedure with tHat sim.

i have switched the sim card from one iphone to a different one, and i added my music from my old phone to the used one, now the old music on the used phone won't delete. im really frustrated and annoyed please help
Do you just want to delete the music or wipe the whole phone since you've switched to the other one?
If you plug the old iPhone into your computer you can remove stuff via iTunes or remove stuff directly from the iPhone too. -
If you switch your sim card from your regular phone to the iphone will it affect the phone bill?
if you switch your sim card from your regular phone to the iphone will it affect the phone bill?
If you have a smartphone data plan it wouln't change it. Otherwise it would force you to choose a smartphone plan. But why don't you just call AT&T and ask? And why do you want to use your old SIM? You can just activate the iPhone with its SIM if the phone is new, and if it's used AT&T will give you a new SIM. Either way you will keep the same number.

I want to put my sim card from my iPhone 4 into my husbands iPhone 4s, which he is not using. We have both backed up our phones on to our own computers. I don't want his contacts left on the phone while I use it. How do I remove his info including music, photos etc from the iPhone 4s before I insert my own sim card.
You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device. -
Can I use my old SIM card from iPhone 3gs to iPhone 6 ?
I have a iPhone 3gs for over 3 years . I Was wondering if I could reuse my SIM card from 3gs to the iPhone 6 ? Since the iPhone 6 cost $199 I wanted to know if it's possible to use an old SIM card and put it in the new phone
No.
The SIM cards are different sizes.
Just get a new one from your carrier, if the iphone does not already have one. -
