Why would they send you a SIM card.  The user should be removing their SIM card from the old device prior to shipping it to Apple.  There instructions explicitly state to do this.

  • Does apple iphones have a sims card?

    if i cannot transfer my sims card how can i transfer my pics and videos from my old samsung phone to my new apple iphone?

    At the store they can transfer pics.  U can buy an sd card adaptor for iPad and iPhone so u can put ur pics on without having to have them on any iPhone or ipad. Might be worth ur while.
    If ur computer has a sd card drive put ur sd card into ur computer then import ur pics put them into a file u know where it is. then plug ur iPhone in and it will give u a message saying ur iPhone is found. Go to iTunes click the name of ur iPhone then there should be a menu for photos click sync then there should be a way to pick the file where u put the photos. I would put all ur file on desktop so u know where it is. Then u should be fine. I did this from an iPhone to an iPhone but it should be the same process.

  • Replacement iphone with previous sim card requires a new AT&T account

    My 3GS was water damaged so I ordered a new one from apple but it will take a few days before it arrives. I have an old #G that I was not using so I swapped the sim card and attempted to sync it from my backup. The problem is that the system is forcing me to activate with AT&T to set up a new account. I just want to use the AT&T account I have I do not need a new one. Help?

  • I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM

    I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

    The CDMA iPhone 4 does not use a SIM at all. There is no SIM slot. It is a pure CDMA phone.

  • I'm trying to use my iphone 3g as an ipod now that I've upgraded to an iphone 4.  But it is telling me that I need to have a sim card in my iphone 3g to use it.  I don't want to use it as a phone at all so I wouldn't think that I need a sim card.

    Actually, I wanted to let my son use my old iphone 3g as an ipod now that I upgraded to the iphone 4.
    But it has continued to shut down and say that needed to restore it. 
    The last time I did it, it's now saying that I need to have a SIM card in order for it to work. 
    Now, I'm not wanting him to use it as a phone or for texting, so I just assumed this would work.  But it's been very challenging.
    Any thoughts on what I need to do so he can use it as an ipod?
    Thanks!

  • If you dont have the sim card that came with the iphone and you resync it how do you get it to turn back on .?

    You have been syncing the iPhone with iTunes on your computer without a SIM card inserted in the iPhone for how long?
    If the iPhone says connect to computer, this means there is a problem with your iPhone that requires restoring the iPhone with iTunes. As already provided, not having a SIM card inserted in an iPhone does not prevent or shouldn't prevent syncing the iPhone with iTunes. Depending on the iPhone model, it is required in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3406
    To re-activate an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS that displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen:
    Insert a SIM card from the carrier with which you used your phone. Note: If you are using the same carrier, you can use the activated SIM card from your new device to do this. If your device is unlocked by your carrier, you can use any SIM card.
    Connect the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    iTunes will then activate the device. You can remove the SIM card at this point and use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

  • TS1814 I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it. Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do. Any ideas on how to get it working again?? I'm dying without it!

    This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier.  It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
    Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking.  Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing.

  • HT5554 I have the iPhone 5 and I keep getting a no sim card message. I have had my phone for over a year now so I know I have a sim card. How can I fix this because it doesn't let me get calls now.

    I have the iPhone 5 and I keep getting a no sim card message. I have had my phone for over a year now so I know I have a sim card. How can I fix this because it doesn't let me get calls now.

    Try resetting the phone. Hold the home and power lock button until the Apple logo appears.If that does not work, turn the phone off and take the SIM out and then put it back in.
    If that still does not work, you may have a defective SIM, in which case you will need a new one from your carrier.

  • HT4528 Does the iphone 4 have a sim card tray, and if so where is it.

    Does the iphone 4 have a sim card tray, and if so where

    I you have an iPhone you have it ALL!
    OK I think I can help you on this one, I think there is a missconception on the terminology, if the iPhone is from AT&T it does have a SIM card tray, you will find it on the left side of the iPhone. All you need is the key insert it in the little hole and it pops out.
    If the iPhone 4 is from Verizon it DOES NOT have a sim card tray.
    What the sales person told your sister is accurate, the iPhone does not have a slot for an SD card which is an "storage" card mainly used to store all sorts of data such as pictures, videos and more.
    Locally the iphone has lots of storage capacity so your sister wont have the necesity of ever expanding her cellphone memory for the very reason of that she has the best cellular device in the market which is an IPHONE!
    I don't think she will ever fill up her iphone's memory.
    Here is what I found in effort to expand the differences between the SD card and SIM card
    -Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format developed by Panasonic, SanDisk, and Toshiba for use in portable devices to store data.
    -A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM) is an integrated circuit that securely stores the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices (such as mobile phones andcomputers).
    I hope this helps your sister.

  • How can I get my photos off my iPhone 3 eventhough I don't have a sim card any longer?

    I have an old iphone (pre iphone 4) and moved to Sweden. I want to get my photos off the phone, but no longer have any Sim card of any kind. Is there any kind of workflow or solution I can try to get them to my MacBook Pro? (My itunes says it can't read the phone without a sim). Any help would be much appreciated!!! Even if I could use my wi-fi to access the device? or blue-tooth??

    I know the photos are on the phone, I can see all 915 of them. Itunes can now see the phone, but I'm afraid to update or sync with the phone as I believe it will delete the photos off my phone. I used to be able to get the photos off using Image capture, but Image capture no longer see my phone in the device list. That was my problem before I moved to sweden and chucked the sim. I used to mail the pictures to myself, but now that obviously doesn't work. I have image capture 6.1 and read on wikipedia there is a 6.2 but I can not for the life of me find it anywhere. Isn't there some app that should be able to transfer the photos over? I have iphoto and aperture, but they don't see the device either (using OS 10.6.8 on my macbook pro btw). These pictures are of my daughter, I just can't bear not getting my hands on them. Help!

    A Verizon corporate store can provide you with a nano SIM and activate it for you. Corporate stores do not charge for SIMS. I don't know what a reseller might or might not do.

  • My IPhone doesn't seem to have a sims card tray. Please help

    My IPhone doesn't seem to have a sims card tray. I would like to change the sims card but I can not find the sims card tray. I have looked on the right side and on top of my phone but its not there. I have a Iphone4 and Verizon as my carrier. How do I change my sims? Or can I change my sims card? Please help me I would greatly apperciate it.

    The Verizon iPhone 4 is a CDMA phone and as such has no SIM. Ergo there's no way to change a SIM and no way to use the phone with another carrier, if that's what you wanted to do.
    Regards.

    This phone was working earlier since i had jail broken it.
    I have been using it with jail break for about 2 years now
