Will I need to buy new SIM card for iPhone 4?

Will I need to buy a new "micro-sim" for the iPhone 4, or is a sim card already included?

Thank you

Can you buy a sims card for iphone 6 plus at verizon?

I bought a new unlocked iPhone 6 plus off of ebay but I need a sims card. I don't want to change my plan. I don't know what kind to buy.

You may need a nano SIM that is already activated on your account since that phones IMEI number is not going to be in Verizon's database. The few that have got this to work got a nano SIM working in another Verizon LTE iphone on his or her account. Then take that SIM out of the working phone and put it in the iPhone6. Report back as this is not a sure thing.

Will Verizon Stop encrypting sim cards for iPhones so users can talk and surf at the same time?

Will Verizon stop encrypting iPhone sim cards so users can surf and talk simultaneously?

I can prove that this is not the case. I travel abroad monthly and have sim cards for these 2 countries i frequent and i can surf and talk at the same time. The claim that it needs another antenna does not support my findings. Can we be more transparent please. As a costumer i find it highly inconvenient to have to hang up a call with someone just to access an email.

A refresher: what actually is the SIM card for and WHY is it removable?

I am sure that this topic has been addressed before. However, since I am a bit familiar as to WHY smilar SIM cards are removable and changeable in, say, European phones, I am wondering WHY the iPhone has one, and what purpose does it serve especially since the iPhone is so closely related to its own particular flavor of ATT service..
Thanks!

A SIM card or Subscriber Identity Module is a portable memory chip. The SIM card makes it easy to switch to a new phone by simply sliding the SIM out of the old phone and into the new one. The SIM holds personal identity information, cell phone number, and on some models of phones, teh phone book along with other data. It can be thought of as a mini hard disk that automatically activates the phone into which it is inserted.
A SIM card can come in very handy. For example, let's say your phone runs out of battery power at a friend's house. Assuming you both have SIM-based phones, you can remove the SIM card from your phone and slide it into your friend's phone to make your call. Your carrier processes the call as if it were made from your phone, so it won't count against your friend's minutes.
If you upgrade your phone there's no hassle involved. The SIM card is all you need. Just slide it into the new phone and you're good to go. You can even keep multiple phones for different purposes. An inexpensive phone in the glove compartment, for example, for emergency use, one phone for work and another for home. Just slide your SIM card into whatever phone you wish to use.
High-end cell phones can be very attractive and somewhat pricey. If you invest in an expensive phone you might want to keep it awhile. Using a SIM card, it is even possible to switch carriers and continue to use the same phone. The new carrier will simply issue you their own SIM card. The phone must be unlocked, however, and operate on the new carrier's frequency or band.
A SIM card provides an even bigger advantage for international travelers -- simply take your phone with you and buy a local SIM card with minutes. For example, a traveler from the U.S. staying in the U.K. can purchase a SIM card across the pond. Now the phone can be used to call throughout England without paying international roaming charges from the carrier back home.
SIM cards are used with carriers that operate on the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network. The competing network is Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), a technology created by U.S. company Qualcomm. As of fall 2005, CDMA cell phones and CDMA carriers do not support SIM cards in most parts of the world, though this is changing. A CDMA SIM card called the R-UIM (Re-Useable Identification Module) was made available in China in 2002, and will eventually be available worldwide. Expectations for the future include a cell phone market that supports both SIM (GSM) and R-UIM (CDMA) cards by default.

Where can I buy a SIM card for my iPad in Germany that will also work in France and Belgium?Germ

I am travelling to Germany for 2 weeks in mid-July and would like a SIM card that would work there, and France and Belgium.
Do they sell them in the Frankfurt airport?
Anyone knows where they sell them in Cologne?
A company called 'Cellular Abroad Support' (American) will sell me one for $59 plus $8.95 to cut it into a micro SIM.
What is the best way to go?
My computer skills are minimal.
Txs.

Hi
On the Toshiba website you can search for the nearest authorized service provider. They sell all original Toshiba spare parts. Call them and ask for a new keyboard, they can order a new one for you.
Here you can search for the nearest ASP:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an authorized service provider
Second hands you get from eBay for example but normally keyboards are not so expensive so I would buy a new one.

New SIM card for iPhone when transferring to another person?

So my Grandfather is an early adopter of all things Apple - and decided he doesn't want the iPhone he bought and set up six months ago. He gave it me and now I intend to transfer my old number over to his phone with a new ATT account and cancel my Verizon account (and toss my horrible Palm700).
ATT told me I have to go to the store and buy a new SIM card since his number is tied to the old card and that a hard reset doesn't clear it. Any truth to this?

You will need to get a new SIM from ATT. Sometimes ATT will charge for the SIM and other times, they give them to people for free.

Sim card for iPhone 5

If I ordered an iPhone 5 through the Apple store, will it come preprogrammed with a sim card from Verizon (since the apple store does ask you which service provider you currently use). Or will I have to go to a Verizon store on Friday and ask them for a sim card? I have a 4s and do not have a sim card right now.
Thanks

No because they are different. iPhone 5 takes a nano sim and iPhone 4s took a micro sim so NO.
Also note there is no such iPhone model as a 4gs, it is the iPhone 4s, as it never had 4g, unlike the iPhone 5 which does.

I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5c in USA, find a no contract SIM card for USA, and also be able to use it on trips to UK, possibly changing the sim card there. What model should I get and is this possible?

I cannot use T-Mobile, no reception in my house.

Hey samfromshrewsbury,
Thanks for the question. The following purchase page may have the information you are looking for:
iPhone 5c - Buy iPhone 5c in white, pink, yellow, blue, or green - Apple Store (U.S.)
http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5c
If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible nano-SIM card separately. In the United States, you can purchase such a SIM from AT&T or T-Mobile. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5c from a local GSM carrier. The unlocked iPhone 5c model is A1532 (GSM).
Thanks,
Matt M.

This original post is mine
I wanted to clarify that Verizon has unlocked the phone for me before I left the US
The international sim cards that I have been able to locate in Norway are caled Mycall or Lebour.
They are labled mini-sim cards but do not fit nor are they as small as the original Verizon one.
I am out in the country-side now but will be in Bergen, Norway and Copenhagen, Denmark over the next few days.
Thanks in advance for any help.
