TS4148 IPHONE 4S 5 HOURS OLD AND MICRO SIM IS NOT COMPATIBLE

Hello There,
I purchased a brand new IPhone 4S in a store today and have run into a problem.
I currently have a HTC One X (Beats) with a Micro-SIM card.
I opened the IPhone box and inserted the micro sim as instructed and went through as far as the wifi settings until I was greeted with the following message:
"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.  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".
The phone is sim free and it is a micro sim card that was purchased (from the three store and not cut) less than 4 months ago along with my HTC.
It works perfectly via that however not via the IPhone.
Could someone please point me in the right direction in order to get this resolved please?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

What country are you in, What carrier are you trying to use, and what store did you purchase the phone from?

  • IPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?

    should I bring it to apple ?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
    Replacing or even suggesting replacing hardware without doing basic troubleshooting first is not very smart.
    If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take it to Apple for evaluation.  There is no obligation to pay for anything, the evaluation is free.

  • HT201274 i reset my iphone 4s 7 hours ago and it is still not reset is this normal

    i reset my iphone 4s 7 hours ago and it is still not reset is this normal

    No that isn't normal. Did the actual download start yet? Even when I last updated my iOS in iTunes from 4.3.5 to iOS 5 it took only about 90 minutes - start to finish - download the update, install the iOS, restore iPad from my backup, and sync everything back again to the iPad - and up and running as usual.
    That was a 750+ MB download and I did it on the evening that iOS 5 was released and the Apple servers were overloaded with users trying to update as well.

    Contact your carrier & get a new sim...they should give you one for free.

    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    you can exchange a 4S for $199

    I hope so you can help to figure it out, without any complications....thank u!

    It was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
    In order to allow it to be used on a different carrier, the phone was hacked or jailbroken. An unauthorized modification was made to the phone. That modification has damaged the phone. You can not get support for it here or from Apple.

    Unless the iPhone was purchased  as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
    Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.

    I had the same problem.  I completely powered down the iphone and then powered it back up.  I then had the bar at the bottom of the email app that I think you are looking for.

  • My iphone fall in the sea and now it's not working how i can take off my photo and numbers ? and do u thing it will be work or what plz help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    my iphone fall in the sea and now it's not working how i can take off my photo and numbers ? and do u thing it will be work or what plz help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sea water and electronics don't mix.  The salinity fries the internal circuitry of the phone. Your phone is toast.
    Certainly the user of any device which can be lost, stolen, or dropped in the sea would be smart enough to have had the data backed up, rght?  Your photos and numbers should be safely backed up on your computer or in the cloud.
    If you didn't do this, there's no way to recover those data now.  Backups are meant to be done BEFORE disaster strikes, not after.
