Using sim from another att phone in my iphone

i dropped my iphone plan for financial reasons. i don't want to pay the data plan
anymore. i since got a standard issue at&t cell phone and mothballed my iphone until i can afford it again. for grins, i put the sim card from the new nokia phone into my iphone and low and behold
i can make calls on it. does anyone know if this is a functional option?
if i don't use data and rack up data usage, can i still use the phone?

No you cannot clearly do this.
I still have a first generation iPhone that I used for over a year before purchasing an iPhone 3G. I cannot and to repeat, I cannot move the SIM card from my iPhone 3G to my first generation iPhone, turn it on and place/receive calls. I can move the SIM card from my iPhone 3G to an AT&T carrier locked phone that I was using prior to purchasing my first generation iPhone, turn it on and have service, but the same does not apply to the iPhone.
Why the OP is able to do this without going thru the iTunes activation process is a mystery, but it is the exception rather than the rule.

  • Can I use a sim from another carrier when traveling overseas?

    If your phone is officially unlocked, yes. Otherwise, no.

  • If you switch your sim card from your regular phone to the iphone will it affect the phone bill?

    if you switch your sim card from your regular phone to the iphone will it affect the phone bill?

    If you have a smartphone data plan it wouln't change it. Otherwise it would force you to choose a smartphone plan. But why don't you just call AT&T and ask? And why do you want to use your old SIM? You can just activate the iPhone with its SIM if the phone is new, and if it's used AT&T will give you a new SIM. Either way you will keep the same number.

  • Can we use Result from another query in Webi using Bex uery universe?

    Hi,
    Can we use Result from another query filter option in Webi to create a report using a Bex Query universe?
    I need to create a report using two universes, one is Bex Query Universe and the other is Orcle universe. I have two queries, one is using Oracle universe; the other using Bex Query universe. I need to pass the Oracle data from the Oracle query to the Bex Query query to get the matched data from SAP Bex query.
    I used Result from another query in the query filter panel for the query using Bex query universe. But I got an error saying that 'A filter contains a wrong value. you cannot run this query. (Error: WIS 00007). The data used in the filter on both sides are the same. they are char.
    I have tested by using two queries from the same Bex query universe to see if the Result from another query filter option works. And I got the same error.
    Has anyone run into the same issue and if this is possible and what should be the solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    In that situation:
    Create two queries : Oracle and BW query.
    @ Report:
    As you have to see result set from both the Dataproviders, correct? To achieve thise one must have common dimension objects to merge them at report and use Objects those are coming from both queries to use them in single Table/Report.
    Unless you don't use Merge Dimensions, you don't get a chane to use both queries objects in single Table/Report. (It will give tooltip saying: You can't drop here -- Incompatable Objects)
    In case, if you don't have common dimensions, change object definitions to Detail objects, for those required.
    Hope it helps you.
    Thank You!!

  • Using data from another View

    Is it possible to create a new Grid in the same analysis where calculated/Grand Totals columns/rows may be used?
    I understand there is a feature use results from another analysis but wonder if it can be used in the same. Thanks.
    Adi

    Hi,
    Say you have a report for retrieving Sales by Products for a company and showing up grand total of sales for all products too in the same report. So, how about a case where you would like to see each product's contribution to the whole sales numbers? For this, a new column could be something like
    Measures.Sales*1.0/SUM(Measures.Sales)
    Here Measures.Sales is the sales for each product and SUM(Measures.Sales) is nothing but the total sales ie grand total.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,
    Dhar

  • Using Sansung S3, not yet possible to share all the open tabs (using NFC) with another NFC phone. But only the one main tab I am currently browsing is possible.

    Using Sansung S3, Android 4.1.2, Firefox 24.0; not yet possible to share all the open tabs (using NFC) with another NFC phone. But only the one main tab I am currently browsing is possible to share. Is this the feature of current NFC feature of Firefox?
    If so, when will there be feature to share all the tabs?
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure if we will implement this. Sharing all the tabs you have open have many more security and privacy issues. Someone forgets that they had a tab open they did not want to share or miss-clicks on the share all option.
    We are looking into better ways to share tabs with devices that are nearby. Especially if they are on the same WiFi network.

  • How do I sync my data from a windows phone to an iPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2

    i need help syncing my data from a windows phone to a iPhone.

    Assuming you have your Windows Phone data synced to Microsoft's Outlook.com, or even Gmail,
    You can setup the Outlook.com or Gmail account in Settings->Email, Contacts, Calendars->Accounts->Add Account
    And it will download all data from there. Email, contacts, etc..
    Other than that, you will have to export all your data from the Windows phone, and then use iTunes to Sync whatever is relevant onto the iPhone.

  • Why won't Apple allow Verizon to let me upgrade from an Android phone to an iPhone 5 early at the reduced price?

    Why won't Apple allow Verizon to let me upgrade from an Android phone to an iPhone 5 early at the reduced price?

    Here's one of my responses from Verizon:
    Dear Kevin,
    Good Afternoon; I know how frustrating it is to want a new phone, and be told that you are not eligible to upgrade early. My name is Shane, and I will be assisting you today regarding your most recent email.
    I am sorry to say that it is not possible for us to do the upgrade. We most certainly don’t want to lose a valued customer, but we can’t break our contract with Apple. If we did this for you, we would have to do it for everyone. If we did this for everyone we would risk losing our contract with Apple, and not be able to sell iPhones at all. I understand it is a savings to cancel your contract with us, and move to another provider we certainly don’t want you to do that, but that is an option for you.
    Kevin, I am sorry that we were not able to give you the resolution you were wanting. I do appreciate you being a valued Verizon Wireless customer, and I hope you have a good day!
    Sincerely,
    Shane
    Verizon Wireless
    Coordinator IRT

    How do I transfer content from a windows phone to an iphone?

    Hi Julian,
    Sorry for the delay in response, I didn't think many answers would come in so quickly being Christmas and all...
    My Dad only needs to be able to access files for reference; any editing or alteration to pre-existing files would largely be done on a desktop or his laptop. In the meantime, Dropbox does look ideal and I will investigate along with the other great ideas suggested on here for the best option.
    Thanks very much...

  • How do I get pictures from my cell phone (not an Iphone) on to my ipad mini?

    Is there any way to get ohotos from my cell phone (not an iphone:() on to my ipad?

    Best way would be to transfer your photos from your non Apple phone to the computer you normally sync your iPad to. Then organize the photos on your computer and sync them to your iPad.
    If there are only a few photos your could email them to yourself.
