Using a sim in an unlocked iphone 4

Hi.
Can someone help me please.
I have an iPhone 4 that was locked to a Vodaphone contract.The contract has ended and Vodaphone have had the IMEI deleted by Apple from their locked IMEI list.
They have emailed the original owner (family) to say it is unlocked now and that a sim that has not been used before should be put in it and it should be linked to tunes.
I have a few questions, please can someone help me.
1. I am in Spain but I have a '3' payg sim. If I put this in and link it to my I Tunes will it work ok, as I am not in the UK or should I not do anything until I return to UK in four weeks.
2. Once it has been successfully been linked to I Tunes , can I then swop the SIM over to a local payg for different countries (as I travel a lot).Someone has told me this is not possible that it will lock to the sim that is in the phone when it is linked to I Tunes, which defeats it being unlocked.
Thank you, really appreciate it if someone can advise on these points.

Thank you. But I would be grateful if anyone can please answer my 2 points that are not covered by the link you suggested.
I appreciate your suggestion and assistance but I really need to know a) if I can put a different sim in from abroad and link to iTunes and b) if I can swop sim's anytime as someone told me it would lick to the first sim I put it.
It has even unlocked by Apple at Vodaphones request already.But I don't want to put a foreign sim in it and find it locks to that company and I can't use it in UK.

  • Hello i try to use another SIM card with my iphone 4s now it said i need to unlock the phone with my Sim carrier

    Hello i try to use another SIM card with my iphone 4s now it said i need to unlock the phone with my Sim carrier ... here is what it says below
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

    So..  You need to contact the carrier for the iPhone's original sim card, and request they unlock it.  The carrier is the only one that can unlock the sim of the iPhone.

  • Can I use boost mobile with my unlocked iPhone 5

    Can I use boost mobile with my unlocked iPhone 5

    No.  Boost is a CDMA carrier, using the Sprint network and is not compatable with unlocked iPhone 5.

  • Can I use the SIM card from an Iphone 4s in a new Iphone 5?

    Can I use the SIM card from an Iphone 4s in a new Iphone 5?

    Yes you can install your current sim into the mini iPad. You have to cut the current sim to the nano sim. There are cutter available on eBay and amazon. You go to your local best-buy. They have it for sale. Just be carefully to align properly or else you will end damaging your current sim. Any little damage to the current sim will render it unusable.

  • Using a microsim in an unlocked iPhone in the US

    I'm looking to find a way of using an unlocked iPhone in the US. However, none of the providers in the US that I've spoken to offer a microsim-only deal. Has anyone managed to use a non-US iPhone 4S in the US on a US provider?

    T-Mobile sells micro sims...your only other choice is AT&T.

  • AT&T SIM card in unlocked iPhone 4 brings up emergency screen

    Okay, so I bought an unlocked iPhone 4 in Canada (where I live)... came down to Florida for a few weeks and decided to pop in an AT&T GoPhone SIM card (pay as you go) after reading/watching the how-to process online. I should also mention that I cut my Rogers SIM card down to a micro SIM manually and had much success, so I cut the AT&T card the very same way; however, when I insert at AT&T SIM card into my iPhone, it switches to the "Slide for Emergency" screen, wanting me to connect to iTunes. In all the videos and walkthroughs I've gone through, no one has had to deal with this problem. Anyone have an idea why this is happening?

    No you won't. Unlocking the GSM side of a Sprint phone will let you use carriers in other countries but not domestic carriers.

  • Is it possible to use a sim card from a iphone 4s in a iphone 3gs if so how

    I have a sim card that fits inside a iphone 4s but i have a iphone 3gs that i had factory resetted and i would like to activate it so i can use it as an ipod can i put the sim card from the iphone 4s inside of the 3 if so how do i place it in there?

    No, it won't work because I think the iPhone 3gs take the full size sim card as far as I can remember and not even a micro sim.
    The iPhone 4s has a much smaller sim card, so it just is not going to work.
    What you could do is go to your carrier and purchase a Pay As You Go sim card in the correct size to fit a 3gs and put it in to activate the phone to use it as an iPod and then take it out.

  • How do I save contacts on my Iphone  3 to sim card so I can use the sim card with another Iphone and keep all of my contacts.

    My current Iphone 3 is not working properly.  My wife just upgraded to an Iphone 4.  I am planning on using her old 3 model.  I want to save the contacts on my 3 to the sim card and then import the contacts to "new 3". I cannot figure out how to save contacts from phone to sim card. can that be done, if so how??

    Contacts cannot be saved to the SIM card on an iPhone. Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the comptuer. That would be Outlook or Windows Address Book, Windows Contacts on the Windows computers and Address Book on a Mac. There are also web based solutions such as Yahoo or Google. Contacts would have to be saved there and then synced to the new phone.

  • When I attempt to use fingerprint I.D. to unlock iPhone 6, touching the button just activates Siri. It only unlocks/logs-in if Siri is disabled. What am I doing wrong?

    Don't push the Home button just lay your finger on it without pressing.

  • My friend is trying to put a new sim in my unlocked iphone 4

    and it keeps saying SIM not valid?

    Which most likely indicates that the phone is not unlocked. Was it purchased as unlocked? Unlocked by the original carrier? Are you using a supported cellular provider's SIM?

  • Using your sim in someone elses Iphone 4 - can you sync it with your computer?

    Is my husband able to use his simcard in my phone 4 and then sync all his information from his computer onto my phone ?

    iPhone stores no data on a sim card, so swapping sim cards has no bearing on what you sync to the phone. If you want your husbands data on your phone, just plug it in & sync.

  • Use current sim card in unlocked phone?

    I currently have a damaged Droid Maxx and need a new phone without changing my current plan. I can get a used S4 from US Cellular. Can I use my current SIM card in the S4 on Verizon?
    Thanks,

    The only "unlocked" devices that can be used on VzW are data-only LTE devices that support VzW frequencies. The only device like this that I am aware of is the new LTE Nexus 7, and I don't even think it's available yet.
    As Ann said, the CDMA radios of these "unlocked" LTE phones are still locked to their CDMA provider, adn there's no easy way to change that.
