Using sim from U.K iphone 3gs in ipad2

Hi
I am looking to buy and ipad 2 16 GB 3G with Wifi.
I already have an iphone 3gs on an O2 contract with a large sim card.
I believe the ipad has a microsim.
Can I ask O2 to change my sim in the phone to a micro sim so I can use it in both products?
Many thanks

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.

  • Upload contact from Nokia to Iphone 3GS

    How can I upload contact from Nokia to Iphone 3GS?

    Or if your Nokia supports syncing contacts via bluetooth with an address book application on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with the iPhone - iSync on a Mac provides for this - syncing contacts with the Address Book on a Mac with a number of cell phones this is supported with. Follow this by syncing your iPhone with the address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process.
    With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book application used by Outlook Express or by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

    Hello vikings2013
    You can recover photos from iTunes or iCloud as long as you had a backup. The article below will give instructions on backup and restore through both options of computer and iCloud.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    I want to change the sync on iTunes on my laptop from my old iPhone 3GS to my new iPhone 4s,how do I do this?

    maybe be more specific...
    you can sync multiple devices to the same itunes account on the same laptop.  Simply plug in the new iphone 4s and check off all the settings you want to sync (apps, music, playlists, books, videos, etc).
    If you want your iphone 4s to look exactly like your 3gs...
    1. do an icloud backup of your 3gs
    2. restore your iphone 4s to factory settings
    3. when setting up the phone, choose "restore from icloud backup"
    4. choose the most recent icloud backup (should display the date and time of the 3gs backup you just performed
    5. phone will load everything just as it is on the 3gs... onto the iphone 4s

    Contacts should be in your supported computer contacts application.
    Did you sync with your computer befor? Check your computer's Address book/Contacts/Outlook or some other contacts application.
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.

    Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

    I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail.  In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync.  Mine just fails silently. :-)

  • Okay. when i connected my iphone 5 to itunes it replaced all of the data from my old iphone 3gs (contacts, apps, notes, bookmarks,photos, music, everything you can possibly think of) with my new iphone 5's data. I am so frustrated with this. Why?

    You're iPhone was probably set to automatically sync with your iTunes upon plugging it in. Best option is to restore from a backup, either on iCloud or your computer.

  • My new Iphone 4 is restoring with the information from my old Iphone 3gs on itunes. How do I restore it back to 4g?

    My New Iphone 4 is restoring with the information from my old IPhone 3gs on Itunes. How do i get it to restore back to the 4g?

    There is no 4g.
    If you don't want to restore it with your old iPhone information, then just restore as a NEW phone, not from the backup. Don't quite understand what there's not to get. :-|

  • If I buy a new iPhone 3GS on eBay, can I transfer the SIM card from my current iPhone 3GS into the new one and will it still work?

    I have an 8GB iPhone 3GS on AT&T, and I wanted to purchase a 16GB version on eBay. Will I be able to just pop the SIM card out of the current iPhone 3GS into the new iPhone 3GS and have it work properly?

    Yes, you will be able to use it provided that the 16GB version of 3GS is either factory unlocked or locked to AT&T network (in case of a carrier locked phone).

  • How can i copy my diary from blackberry to iphone 3gs - this si my first iphone so not sure how to use anything at the moment but my diary is the most important bit i need!

    how can i copy my diary from my old blackberry to new iphone 3GS - this is my first iphone so i am complete novice!  I hope to avoid re-inputting every entry!

    You probably already figured this out, but....
    The iPhone will sync from various things on your computer (check the manual for details) but if your Blackberry won't export the data or sync to anything, then you'll need to get the info off the Blackberry manually.
    Alternatively, it might be possible to set the Blackberry up to sync with Google Calendar, maybe, to export the data? I don't know anything about Blackberrys. Try a google search or ask on BB forums with help getting the data out.
    But it will be easier to manually type into something on your desktop/web, then sync with the iPhone, rather than hand-entering on the phone itself. Then keep syncing with whatever you decided to use, so that you'll never need to do this again.

  • HT201407 Do i need to buy a new sim to activate my iphone 3Gs  or i could use a sim which was used in a mobile of another company.

    My iphone was used as an ipod so i thought of updating it  after upgrading it I was unable to activate it without sim and i also tried using sim of phone of other company but I was not activating

    You need a Sim, active or not, from the carrier/operator to which the iPhone is locked.
    You cannot activate the iPhone without a Sim card and if it is locked it has to be from that carrier.

  • HT1937 Can anybody send me a SIM card for my iPhone 3GS ?

    I just bought a used iPhone 3GS 32gb black and they didn't send me a AT&amp;T sims card paid $205 +shipping + tax $25 shipp$15  5-10 business day from great vine tx, didn't get until 2 days later

    I think you will need to have the carrier supply you with a SIM.  No one here will send you one.  We are just Apple users like you.
