Why can't I use a pre paid sim in my iphone that previously had a plan

I have given my iphone 3g to my daughter and she is unable to use hervodaphone pre paid sim card in it.
is it locked to telstra ?
Is it because I was previously on a plan?

Is this a MasterCard credit card issued to you by a bank in the country in which you legally reside, a MasterCard debit card issued to you by a bank in the country in which you legally reside in connection with a demand deposit account (checking/savings) that you maintain in that bank and have a verifiable billing address in that same country or is this a prepaid MasterCard debit card that you bought from a local store?

Why can't you use a pre-paid credit card on your itunes account?

Apple should read this stuff once in a while.
Some prepaid cards appear to act as credit cards to the merchant. If yours is one of them it should work, but debit cards are not accepted for the iTunes Store.
Can you use a pre-paid credit card from Wal-Mart?
Do you mean an iTunes Card, the kind sold at Wal-Mart? Sure, that will work.
"Pre-paid" and "credit" are mutually exclusive.
I believe this way of thinking about it ought to be valid: if you need a PIN code, the card won't work.
I don't use debit cards so I can't be certain if this will apply consistently, but let me know if that makes sense.

Why can't I use/build an SD card reader for iPhone?

I have searched and searched for an SD card reader for iPhone. Apple offers the camera connection kit for iPad but for some reason they have made it incompatible with iPhone. This doesn't make a whole lot of since to me unless they are trying to drive users to buy an iPad. So far I have only found one SD card reader that claims to work on iPhone: http://www.zoommediaplus.com/index.html . If they have actually made it work with iPhone and the app is in the App Store then Apple must allow apps to transffer data from SD cards. If so I can make one myself and build the hardware to go with it since the Apple SD card reader doesn't work on iPhone.
I guess my main questions are:
     Does Apple allow SD Card readers for iPhone?
     if not:
          Why don't they?
          Can anyone tell me where it is documented that you can not use SD Cart readers with iPhone?
          How does ZoomMediaPlus get their app in the App Store if it isn't allowed?
     if they do:
          Why aren't their more SD Card readers for iPhone?
          Why doesn't Apple's lightning SD Card read work with iPhone?

Of course they forbid it. You realize that an iPhone 6+ owner cannot use the Apple Lightning SD Card Reader, don't you? We know the support for their own SD Card Reader is built into iOS 8 because it works with iPads. Therefore, Apple intentionally turned the support OFF for iPhones.
and it appears no one else has bothered to attempt to produce one
No, Apple forbids any third parties from producing one. They produce them for iPads but they cannot work on iPhones, because Apple chooses not to permit such functionality (i.e., they forbid it). Third parties produce such adapters for Android, so obviously they would want to do the same for iOS so they could sell more.
You're recommendation for AirStash is uninformed. I've tried it and found it to be a clunky time-consuming workaround if all you want to do is import some photos from an SD card. Using Photos in iOS to import photos is a far more elegant solution - an Apple solution that just works (if you purchased an iPad).
If it bothers you that iPhones do not work with Apple's own Lightning SD Card Reader, then I suggest you leave feedback instead of attacking those who point it out:

Why can I not use more then one sim card with my iphone?

I want to use different service providers.

Why is unlocking the iphone an issue?
It's not, if you bought your iPhone from a provider that offers unlocking.
AT&T have made a business decision to lock iPhones they sell to their network. That is their policy, and they haven't changed it for anyone. That is their decision.
If, for instance, you had bought your iPhone from O2 in the UK, you would've been able to get it unlocked, as O2 have made a business decision to offer unlocking to their customers if they want it.
Different mobile networks around the world have different policies on:
a) whether to sell the phone locked or unlocked to their customers
b) whether to offer after-sales unlocking as a service to their customers
Also, in some countries there are laws governing the locking and unlocking of phones. Networks have to abide be these local laws too.
Unfortunately, you didn't do any research on AT&T's policies before buying your iPhone for their network, which is why you are in this predicament.
Your only option is to sell your iPhone and buy one for the country you want to use it in.

Why can't I use Column Browser when looking at the music that is on my iPhone.

I have upated to iTunes 11 and I am running Windows 7. I have the Manage Music Manually checked on the settings for my iPhone. When I look at the music that is on my phone in iTunes 11, I get the list view with no other options and no column browser. I have checked several forums and all of them deal with the Music that is in the Library. I may be wrong, but wasn't column broswer there in earlier versions for the connected devices? If so, why take it away? I guess what I want to know is, is this going to be permanent?

The column browser doesn't make as much sense in your playlists as it does in your library and does seem to be gone. It does still work in your library. While you're in the Music tab, choose Songs to see everything. Cmd-B will still bring up the column browser.

I've paid for the Bluetooth in my device, Why Can't I use it!?

Why is it that Apple won't allow the Bluetooth in our devices to be used the way you can on nearly all other devices on the market. Apple should start to listen to the people that buy there products. After all! If it wern't for us consumers buying there products, Apple would not exist. Come on Apple! Pull ya finger out!

I've paid for the Bluetooth in my device, Why Can't I use it!?
You can use it. You can use it in exactly the way Apple describes the iPhone's Bluetooth functionality, which is what you paid for.
Presumably you are referring to Bluetooth file transfers, however the iPhone does not have this capability and Apple has never claimed, advertised or stated that it does. So Bluetooth in the iPhone does work exactly as it is designed to.
Due to Apple's agreements with the music and movie industries that they sell their content for, it's likely that Apple restricts file transfers to prevent widespread and easy copyright infringement.
Why Apple can't open up Bluetooth File transfers for picture files only though, I don't know...

Can I use messaging in Europe even if I have a pre-paid SIM card?

I'm going to be in Spain in May and will buy a pre-paid SIM card with a local number. As long as I have connection to the internet, via wifi or through the phone service there, will my friends and family be able to use my regular US number to text me? Do I need to do anything to make this work before or after I get the pre-paid SIM card there?
I'd like this to be seamless for my friends and family to text me at the same number.

It makes sense, marklyn9063. If you are using a tablet overseas with WiFi, you will be able to access Verizon Messages without incurring roaming charges. However, in order to receive messages, you must have an active phone number.

How come I can't download any free apps or update any app? I used a pre paid card and now I can't do anything.

I used a pre paid card in the App Store. Now when I go to down load updates or free apps it says there was a problem with my last perchase.

You'll have to contact the itunes store then.
choose itunes, then itunes store

Use a Pre-Paid Card then Credit Card

I searched the board before publishing, but didn't find a clear answer, so I will ask here.
I set up an iTunes account with a credit card because I assumed that was the only way to get an account.
I eventually I plan to use the credit card to buy individual songs. But before I start using the credit card, I want to use my Pre-Paid Gift Card first.
My question, is there a way to use up my gift card first (just to buy songs) then start using my credit card once I run out of funds on the credit card?
Separate question - is there a way to set up the account where I can not use a credit card and only use a pre-paid gift card? (this would be for added protection against credit card fraud)
Thanks.

HT3702 Is there any way to use a pre-paid Visa card with my iTunes account?

I just received a prepaid Visa card as a gift and tried to use this card as payment info on my iTunes account. This didn't work, I suspect because there is no billing address associated with the card. Is there any way to use the card like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It just don't make sense you say ICloud backs up my IPad so why can't I use the extra Gb then then who did I pay to get what I thought was GB to use on my IPad?

It don't make sense then why sell the extra GB for the IPad I paid $100 thinking I use it for the extra storage who sold it to me? I thought it was apple I'll have to re check that!!! I'm disappointed for sure.if ICloud is for backup the why can't you use it for storage too!!!

iCloud is for backup. It cannot magically change your device's hardware or storage capacity.
"If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year."
