Unlock code and sim card

I just received an unlock code from AT&t for my iphone 4.  It says that the original sim card needs to be in the phone when connecting to iTunes.  I don't have the original sim card.  I am unlocking this because the person I sold it to wants to activiate with another company.  What do I do? thanks

Well if you don't have the original sim and if it is required to unlock the phone, then you can't unlock it.
Either way contact AT&T and see what they say -

  • How do you unlock an Ipad SIM card?

    I just upgradesd to the latest Ipad software. Once th Ipda restarted I got an error indicating the the SIM card was locked. How can I unlock it and get my Ipad back?

    iPads are not "locked". Get an iPad data plan and sim card from a local provider and connect to their 3G/LTE service.

    There is no such thing as an "unlock code" for an iPhone. It's done through iTunes after being approved by the carrier it is locked to.
    Go back to the carrier it is locked to and find out what the status is. If you paid someone else to unlock it, you got ripped off.

  • I lost my iPhone 5 and i wanted to know if i am able to track it down if its connected to a matcbook or any other compare without wifi and sim card?

    i lost my iphone 5 and i wanted to know if i am able to track it down if its connected to a macbook or any type of computer without wifi and sim card? i have a lock on it but i still want to know if they try to reboot it will i be able to find out theyre doing it?

    If you went into Find My iPhone and sent a lost request, or you tried a remote wipe, if the device was off line, then you would receive something if it was to go online. Did you have a passcode on the device? Did you have iOS 7 installed on it? If so, then even if they try to restore the phone, they will not be able to activate it because of Activation lock. Only certain things will get you a notification, and if they cannot get into the phone, you will not receive that. Without your Apple ID and password, the phone is useless to them if they try to restore it.

  • Redeeming credit for iTunes store from gift card. system asking for security code and gift card thrown away.

    Redeeming credit from gift card for itunes. System asking for securitity code and gift card is thrown away.

    On the main iTunes store screen, click on Redeem on the right side.
    Put in the card number.
    It will ask to *Create new account* or *Use existing account*.
    If you do not have an account, select *Create new account*.
    You don't have to enter in a CC number. You cna if you want but it's not required.

  • 3G-WIC and SIM-card

    We are investigating migrating from ISDN to 3G/UMTS access for a couple of remote sites and think the 3G-WIC will be a good substitute. According to the documentation you have to authenticate to the service provider through PPP to get IP-access. This seems straightforward and IOS standard. What we not have found in the documentation is how to enter the PIN-code of the SIM-card, which remains locked without a PIN-code, and will not register in the umts-network.
    Is there anyone having practical experience of unlocking SIM-cards on the 3G-WIC? Is there a IOS command for this?

    thanx, i've just found it using the search-string "Hwic 3g" :-)
    Can you tell me, if there is an antenna included? The Dynamic-Configuration-Tool doesn't worry about configuring it without antenna-option!?
    it's correct, that the "Dipole Omnidirectional " is included? (This is the default antenna. Multiband faceplate mounted dipole antenna. This antenna is included with all faceplate-mounted 3G wireless WAN HWICs.)

  • BB 9630 and SIM Card

    Go to Solution.

    Yes, you can, if you have a SIM card in the device (CDMA devices don't require a SIM, but often come with one for the GSM frequencies).
    I am not sure why you would want to do so... the SIM will ONLY save a one number per name, no addresses or emails, etc.

  • Unlocked iphone 5 sim card travel

    Hi there.  I have an unlocked iphone 5 that I bought from the Apple Store.  We are going on a vacation to New York (we're from Canada) and I would like to buy a prepaid sim card to use there for Voice, Data and Messaging.  Can you tell me if there is a simple way to do this? The info I have found so far has sounded rather complicated.
    Thanks so much.

    Yes, from any carrier since it is already unlocked.

  • HT201328 Unlocking iPhone without SIM card

    I submitted an unlock request to my carrier (at&t). They indicated that request had been processed and I need to do backup and restore in iTunes while having SIM card in the phone to finish up the process. The problem is that I don't have my at&t SIM card which I disposed after upgrading to a new phone.
    If I erase the phone now and give it to my parents will they be able to use it with another carrier?

    Koroch, esli vy znaete kak unlock iPhone 4 from AT&T, daite please link.

  • USA DENMARK AND SIM CARD

    I want to know if a friend by the Iphone 5 in the US and bring it to me in Denmark, if the phone will work normally here in Denmark or if there is any incompatibility? I also want to know if it is possible to buy an iphone5 in the USA without a SIM card?

    The iPhone 5 is not being sold as officially unlocked and probably won't be for another month or so based on when the iPhone 4S was released a year ago.
    The iPhone 5 uses a nano-SIM card, so your carrier in Denmark would need to provide you a nano-SIM card.
    LTE with the US iPhone 5 may not work there. If the iPhone is sold officially by Apple in Denmark, Apple will probably sell an LTE iPhone 5 there that can be used with the official carrier or carrier's LTE network in Denmark, which may be different from the iPhone 5 sold in the US.

  • Unblock phone and sim card from other country

    im going to france and i have a verizon iphone 4s. Can it be unlocked? And can I buy a french sim card to use while im there?
    waiting for an answer, thanks for the help!

    You should call customer service and ask for the global support group. They can assist you in getting the iPhone 4S unlocked so you can use a local SIM card in France. You need to call them before your trip.
