Moderator - could you PLEASE put this in a FAQ?
This is asked three times a day. ATT has only one SIM card and they are all 3G enabled with the 3G logo on it. They have had those since Nov 06. It doesn't mean your phone is 3G. The same SIM cards are used in all ATT/Cingular phones.

Define "won't work"...
You can not activate an iPhone without a SIM. If the phone is carrier locked, you must have a valid Sim from the correct carrier.
What EXACTLY is the message you're getting?

Can i buy the iPhone with international sim card, can i buy the iPhone with international sim card

International sim card

I don't know about an international sim card. You can buy the iPhones unlocked in selected countries as they are legally required to sell them unlocked. Such as here in New Zealand. The unlocked iPhones can be used with any carriers micro sim cards.

it says 'your iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached'
Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

Are you looking for the serial number or the IMEI? If the phone was active on your Verizon acount, Verizon can give you the IMEI.

There should be a SIM eject tool in the box. Insert in the small hole on the right hand side of the iPhone to eject the tray. You have to get the correct angle.
I do not believe that a SIM eject tool has been provided for the past couple of years.

Can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod

can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?

The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.

Is there a way to use old iphones without a sim card

is there a way to use old iphones without a sim card?

Yes but if it needs activating first then a Sim card must be inserted just during the activation process
and can then be removed

IPhone with GoPhone SIM card

I intend on seeing my 2 year contract through, which expires June 30. I was thinking that maybe I could buy a prepaid Go Phone, swap the SIM card with my iPhone and then only pay as I need. The truth is that I am usually near a regular phone and I don't really need to pay for cell service anymore.
Will this work?

I don't believe so.
Although it is possible to use your iPhone's activated SIM card with another AT&T carrier locked phone or with an unlocked GSM phone, it isn't possible to use a SIM card from another AT&T carrier locked phone with your iPhone without activating the SIM card with your iPhone. The SIM card used with the iPhone is "married" to the iPhone's IMEI number.

I used an old sim card to try to activate my iphone 3gs, it didnt work, and it gave me this response:
We're sorry, the iPhone you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. We reccomend you visit your nearest apple Store for more information.

iPhones require a SIM for activation. The SIM does not need to be active but must be for the carrier the device is locked to.

You can't. Contact info is not stored on a SIM card in an iPhone.

Hello! The question is this. In London, took the Iphone 5 as sim free, flew to Moscow put Simcoe, and he writes me that is locked to the operator O2. Can anyone encountered this problem? What to do? How to remove the Unlock?

Look at your receipt. Does it say unlocked? It is possible to purchase both locked "sim free" and unlocked iPhones from Apple.
ONLY the carrier an iPhone is locked to can legitimately unlock it.
IF your receipt says that it was supposed to be unlocked, and it is not, call AppleCare. They should be able to straighten it out.
