How do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

So I am planning on getting an unlocked verizon iPhone 5s but the thing is my carrier is AT&T. So how do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

If you plan on using AT&T, why on earth would you purchase a Verizon iPhone? Doesn't make any sense. Yea, it will work on AT&T's network, but you won't get LTE, only 3G. LTE requires using a Verizon sim.
This is an extremely poor idea. Purchaase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, if you want to use AT&T's network.

SIM cards are not locked, unless you have a lock put on it from the carrier. Maybe you are referring to unlocking the phone to use a different carrier? Please explain better.

Each time I turn off my Maxx, it locks the SIM card, need PUK to unlock

Each time I have to turn my Maxx off, it locks the SIM card and needs the PUK number to unlock it. I'm so sick of this. Can anyone please help me? TYIA!

Hello Matthew,
When I got my phone, I wanted to lock it so it required the 4 digit PIN code to get into it. I did that, using the "Set up SIM card lock" function, and, I just checked "SIM card lock settings" and it has a check mark beside "Require PIN to use phone". It has never been set up for encryption. I've only had it a few weeks. I never tried to set up encryption, nor did I do anything that made the PUK number be required after my phone has been turned off. It just started after I'd had it a couple of weeks. I'm going to be traveling by plane quite often, and will have to turn off my phone. I'm not sure what to do at that point. Any help you can give me will be most appreciate!
Thank you!!

HT201328 What SIM card to use when unlocking my iPhone?

I currently live in Istanbul, Turkey. I have an iphone that is eligible to be unlocked. In the instructions it says "make sure there is a SIM card inserted in your iphone" Do they mean the original SIM card from ATT, or one from the new carrier here? Thank you!

Until the carrier completes their end of the unlock procedure, their SIM must be in place. Only afterwards will you be able to switch to the other carrier.

"Unable to load network list" on new sim card overseas on unlocked iphone 4

I recently bought an Iphone4 (unlocked) from australia. While traveling overseas I inserted a new sim and got the message "unable to load network list", and could not activate my new sim card. Could not find the answer on the discussion board here but got in touch with my provider back in oz who helped me.
Solution: You need your laptop with Itunes on it. Turn the phone off, then connect to your laptop with Itunes already running and then turn the phone on. When you click on your phone icon in Itunes it will say "Congratulation, your iphone is unlocked". You can then eject your phone and your new sim is activated.
Hope this helps

Sorry not sure why your new sim card isn't supported...not sure if it helps but I had my laptop connected to wifi at the time also, but I don't think it should matter. Its worth a try connecting to internet with ITunes on, connect your phone and then turn it on and see what happens.

What do I need to unlock my AT&T iPhone 4s?

I recenlty bought an iPhone 4s from a co-worker (they upgraded to an iPhone 5). It's in perfect condition. I love it so far (I'm upgrading from an old "feature phone"). Problem is, I want to set it up to use one of those StraightTalk-like plans. The iPhone 4s isn't unlocked yet and all my search results in deadends. What do I need?
The co-worker kept the original SIM card, so I bought another, but it's for the service plan I plan on using.
On AT&T's site they have an unlock request form, but it's asking things like the phone number. I'm assuming of the device I want unlocked, which would be the iPhone 4s, which is currently not in a contract, so has no number.
I tried sending AT&T Twitter messages, which they usually reply fairly quickly, but have yet to respond to me about unlocking it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The original owner transfered the number they had with it to their new iPhone, so I don't think submitting the unlock request with it would be a good idea.
I'll see if they can go unlock it for me then, I guess...
Will unlocking it cost anything?
Ask AT&T. AT&T and only AT&T handles this.
All of your unlocking question can be answered by AT&T

Can I use a foreign SIM card in my unlocked iPhone 4s?

I Bought a second hand iphone 4s which was on Vodafone, then was unlocked for me by Vodafone to use on T-Mobile in the UK. I am moving to Germany in 2 weeks and want to know if I can use my unlocked iPhone with a German SIM card as my main phone? I don't want to have to buy another iPhone! Any help gratefully received!

For what it's worth - I travelled to the US for a one year period and I lived in California. The reply above is correct in stating that AT&T or T-Mobile are your only options.
To be honest, all you need is voice calls that aren't roaming as WiFi is pretty freely available - at least it was wherever we went.
You could just get a PAYG Sim card from one of the above providers - it was relatively inexpensive for us to use for a year so it should be perfectly adequate for you to use for three weeks.
Yes - there won't be data over Edge or 3G but as I said, WiFi is readily available.
The only issue will be converting an ordinary PAYG Sim into a Micro Sim for your iPhone 4. There are lots of videos showing how easy it is to cut one down - I guess you just want to make sure that it doesn't get stuck in the phone!
The other simpler option would be to leave your UK SIM in place and just turn off data roaming so you can only use WiFi. Then go and buy yourself a cheap PAYG phone from a Target or Walmart or similar. T-Mobile charged us $25 per PAYG SIM from their store whereas we realised we could get the same SIM with a cheap Nokia handset for $20 from the supermarket.
That way, you only need to make sure that you don't use your UK number for calls etc as US roaming isn't cheap.
Hope this helps.

SIM card needed?

Okay - since Verizon doesn't seem to want to sell a WP7 device with a slideout keyboard, and I seriously need a phone, I'm thinking of picking up a used Touch Pro 2. The thing is, it has a SIM card slot and no thinking person would dare sell the phone with their SIM card.
So... If I do purchase a Touch Pro 2, do I need a SIM card if I'm going to use the phone ONLY in the USA? If I need one, where can I get one? Is there another option?
Thanks in Advance!

I just want to reiterate something that many people on this forum have mentioned about keyboards. The Trophy's virtual keyboard is absolutely one of the best on the market. The buttons are a great size (especially in landscape mode), the keys "zoom" when you tap them and they have haptic feedback. All that plus the predictive text is extremely accurate, almost all mistakes that you make when you are typing are auto-corrected.
You really should try out the phone at your local VZW store if you haven't already. You just might find that you really don't need the hardware keyboard!
Absolutely! I came from using 6700 (was that the one before Mogul?) Sprint Mogul, Touch Pro, TP2, so I've been using a slide-out for a long time. I thought I was going to HATE the virtual keyboard, but a friend who sells phones gave me his thoughts, and I tried it. I've only been using it for what, 3 weeks now? And I can type on it faster than I could with the slide-out. The key is to type, keep typing, let the keyboard software auto-correct, and if you see a word that auto-corrected wrong, tap it, and choose an alternative from the list (and the list scrolls sideways, for those who don't know). I think if they offered a slide-out, I'd probably buy it, since it became such a dependency for me when I had it, but I would not mind anymore when using the programs that don't support landscape mode.
Also, if anyone is developing for WP7... Do your users a favor. When you create a text box, add one property to the textboxes that you place:
InputScope="Text"
InputSceope="Text" causes the auto-correct to be available. Otherwise, it's a dumb keyboard. There are other InputScopes as well, which will give you a keyboard tailored to the situation, but this one gives you auto-correct.

What sim cards is compatible with my iPad 3

I will be traveling abroad and I want to know what particular SIM cards I have to buy for my IPhone and IPad 3 so I can use it overseas?
My carrier is Verizon.

Hey weslin1996,
The following information details using the iPad's cellular service around the world:
iYou can sign up for cellular connectivity only when you need it. Some cellular carriers even offer flexible shared plans that let you use the data service you already have. If you want a local connection when you’re traveling, iPad Air is ready. Just ask a local carrier about a short-term data plan, pop in a SIM card, and you’re ready to go.
