Using iPad micro-sim to activate iPhone 4s?

I will be purchasing a iPhone 4s in the UK later this month and I would like to know if it would be fine if I used my iPad 2 Micro-sim to activate the phone and then place it back into my iPad. I will only be able to purchase a micro-sim for my iPhone once I return to SA.

Should work just fine, but why? I assume you're purchasing an officialy unlocked 4S from Apple, correct? Just buy a sim card while you're in the UK, activate your phone, and that way you'll be able to use it as a phone. Then swap sims when you get back home.

What roaming charges? If you have a local plan there are no roaming charges. This is a major reason for using a local plan.
Contact, or visit the website, whatever local provider you are considering and get their plan details.

Ipad Micro Sim vs Iphone 4 Micro Sim

Just noticed this on the UK apple store. They sell Sim Unlocked Phones (like NZ and Australia etc) and under the FAQs they have the following:
Are iPhone 4 and iPad micro-SIM cards interchangeable?
No. Your iPad micro-SIM card will not work with your iPhone.
Surely that is a “we dont want you to interchange” as opposed to “it wont work” as I thought a micro sim card is a micro sim card and it will work in any device that needs one. Anyone else have any insight to this. You of the understanding that our Micro Sims from the Ipad (cut or purchased) will work in either device?

The iPad apparently will try to intercept calls when used with a regular phone microsim.

I want an iPhone 3gs as I currently have a nokia lumia 620 but can I use my micro sim in the 3gs

Hi i want an iPhone 3gs but can i use my micro sim or do i need a sim adapter? answer soon

The iPhone 3GS takes a standard full-size SIM. It's possible that an adapter will work, but it will probably be more reliable if you get a full-size SIM from yur cell carrier.
EDIT: I concur with Tim. The 3GS is a very old model now, as smartphones go, so I would suggest a newer model, saving up if you have to. I myself wouldn't buy anything older than an iPhone 4S at this point.

How will i be able to use my micro sim card from my iPhone 4s, in the nano sim card tray in the iphone 5?

How will i be able to use my micro sim card from my iPhone 4s, in the nano sim card tray in the iphone 5?

You can't. The nano SIM is 15% thinner compared to its previous two generations, so even if it is cut in the same size, the thickness would be different, meaning the cut micro SIM cannot fit into the nano SIM slot.

How do I get an iPad micro sim card for Austria and Italy? We purchased one for Germany, but it doesn't cover in Austria or Italy

Compare the roaming charges from the German carrier with services like those:

Otherwise buy a pre-paid micro-SIM card for the iPad in each country you visit.

Can i use my 3gs sim in an iphone 4

That would be a question for your Mobile Provider, but Yes you should be able transfer your current SIM to a Micro SIM and keep the same number and contract, I did with O2 in the UK fine, took a few hours once my old SIM lost signal the new Micro SIM was active with my number as normal.

Can I exchange my CDMA iPhone 4 to one that uses a micro-sim?

Hi everyone. I recently moved to Germany and brought my iPhone 4, which uses the CDMA network from Verizon. Problem is, in Germany only iPhones with micro-sims seem to be working. My phone still has warranty until March 2012. I spoke to a German Apple Store Service and they said they cant even give me a new one in case of warranty, because they simply dont carry any. Is there a chance that I can exchange my phone for one with a SIM card back in the states? Or maybe upgrade to the iPhone 4S? Thank you in advance. Julian

That's correct. They don't sell CDMA phones in Europe. Most of the world does not use CDMA networks at all. Even if the warranty were international, which it is not, they would not have them there to exchange.

IPad Micro SIM in Paris

Next April, I'll be visiting Paris and I will be bringing my iPad. This'll be my first time using international data plans on my iPad, but I kind of get what I need to do. I was just wondering where do I get the Micro SIM card once I'm in Paris? I've heard from some people I need to go to the carriers and others have said go to Apple. Your help i much appreciated. Thanks

Check out this info:
http://prepaid-wireless-internet-access.wetpaint.com/page/France+-+Orange
Basically unlimited data for 1 month for 12 Euros, plus the cost of the SIM (total about 22 Euros).
The original poster of this info returned from Paris last fall, so not totally fresh data. They an Android phone, not an iPad, and were able to get the Orange Mobicarte Internet Max unlimited data plan with no problems. They got 3G all over Paris, and used the heck out of it.
You can get a SIM at any tabac or little internet shop, but the ones they found didn't know anything about the Internet Max plan. They ended up going to an actual Orange Telecom shop and the guy knew exactly what They needed. It takes 48 hours to be activated, you don't need a French bank account, You can pay in cash, but you do need to send a photocopy of your passport to the Orange office. They provide a post paid envelope with the SIM.
You don't get POP email, or SMS with this plan, just data. But they used their web browser to access their gmail accounts with no problem.
Having this device made their stay so much easier. GPS navigation, translation, the RATP metro/train/bus routing app, restaurant references, etc. etc. Well worth the price if you are going to be there for a couple of weeks.

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.

Can I use the nano sim card of iPhone 5C for an iPhone 4S?

My grandmother has been thinking of buying an iPhone 5C (because she saw a good deal) and she wants to give it to me and use her old iPhone 4S. The problem is that she wants to use the nano sim card of the 5C for her 4S in order to save her phone number that she will receive once she buys the phone. Is it possible for a 4S to work with the sim card of a 5C?

if you use an adaptor to make it a microSim if thats what your 4s use then yes

How can I use an 02 SIM on my iphone 4s which was originally on Orange?

Hi,
I purchased an iPhone 4S approx 2 years ago from Carphone Warehouse on Orange/EE. At the end of the 2 years I decided to leave Orange and use O2. I called up Orange to unlock my phone but they told me as the phone was purchased from Carphone Warehouse they cannot unlock it. I went to Carphone Warehouse and they said they do not unlock phones.
I've looked online and found this link :
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5014
I restored my phone and the my O2 sim does still not work. I get this message now:
"SIM Not Valid
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 currerntly assigned by the activation server. This is not a a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information".
So now I am stumped on what to do next - it seems impossible for me to get this phone unlocked. I've spoken to market phone vendors and they are all quoting me £120 - which seems pointless.
If anyone has any advice or suggestion I would greatly appreciate it!
Many thanks,

Jailbreaking is not done to attract malware and possibility and in most cases it is not the case. You are supposedly assuming that jailbreaking is done as jailbreakers "like malware". Your statement is wrong as in essence, jailbreaking your iPhone means freeing it from the limitations imposed on it by your carrier, whether that's AT&T or Verizon, and Apple. It lets you do everything from customizing the look of your iPhone to installing third-party applications (such as titles that are not authorized and available in the App Store) and customized ringtones on it. Depending on how far you're willing to go, you can do even more than that: Jailbreaking even lets you to unlock your phone so you can use it with a carrier other than the one from which you purchased it and in my case you can enable continuity.
The statement was in the spirit of irony. And no, I do not assume users jailbreak because they actually want malware. However, jailbreaking does indeed make the device far more susceptible to such, and it also occurs far more than you seem to think.
