Why is my iphone 3gs not detecting my sim card

what is happening with this phone

99% your iPhone is hacked/jailbroken, now you need the SIM from the carrier the iPhone was locked to.

  • Why my unlocked iPhone is not working with SIM card bought in Europe (it shows SIM card l

    I bought unlocked iPhone in Apple store in US with a thought that I could also use it when travelling to Europe. I've bought SIM card there, place it in my iPhone, but It's not working. Still it shows that card is locked for some reason. What can I do to solve this problem?

    Which Carrier's  sim exactly did you buy and in which Country ?
    You are sure you purchased an unlocked rather than Sim free iPhone ??

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

    why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?  In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
    In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

    On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced.  I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro.  Incidently I am not using Icloud.  Is that the problem?

  • Why will my iphone 4s not accept my credit card

    Why is my iphone 4s not accepting my credit card always comes back with declined no matter how much money i have in my account

    Is the card registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know why it's being declined (we are fellow users on here, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Please turn off your cpas lock.

    Do as the manual says to do and restore the iphone.

    Most likely the phone is locked to a carrier that you haven't tried yet.

    Im guessing you mean the iPhone 4? anyway ...
    Because you brought the phone in America, It will be locked to either the AT&T network, or Verizon. These will ONLY work within the United States, and under no circumstance will they unlock the phone for international use. Unfortunatley, that means you are $500 out of pocket, and have an expensive paperweight to your name. The only way to get an iphone 4 in your country is wait for it to be released, and in the meantime, sell the one you have to someone in America.
    Hope this solves your issue

    Then the SIM may have failed. Try removing and re-inserting it. If that doesn't fix it, you will have to get the SIM replaced by your carrier.

  • Iphone 4s not recognising new sim card keeps saying sim not valid?

    iphone 4s not recognising new sim card keeps saying sim not valid. Can anyone advise me please?

    There are three possibilities:
    1.  Your phone is locked to a different carrier and will not work with any SIM card except those from that carrier.
    2.  Your new card is from a carrier not supported by the iPhone.
    3.  Your new SIM card is defective.
    In order to determine which is the right answer you could try a different sim from the same carrier or try your new card on a different iPhone.   Also check to make sure your new carrier is a supported carrier.

  • My iphone 5c cannot detect my sim card to get started to be activated

    My iphone cannot detect my sim card and get activated.  On top of the left corner indicates the word "searching"?  Please Help

    The iPhone is locked to a different carrier. Only that carrier and authorize unlocking so you can use the iPhone with other carriers, so you will have to contact that original carrier and ask if you qualify for unlocked and if so what their procedure is.

  • Iphone 3GS not detected by Xcode

    I'm not sure if this is a problem with my phone or my computer. My phone is not being detected by Xcode and does not appear in the organizer. When I plug it in iPhoto opens automagically and sees the phone, but nothing appears in Xcode.
    It worked just fine a few days ago, my provisioning profile was set up and I was happily testing apps on the device. I have not changed or updated Xcode since, the phone simply stopped appearing.
    I've tried the following (in increasing order of desperation):
    Restart Iphone;
    Restart Xcode;
    Restart computer and phone;
    Open Xcode in 32-bit mode;
    Delete existing provisioning profile in Xcode;
    Restore Iphone from Itunes (on another computer than the one i'm using for development);
    Switch USB ports;
    Confirm I'm using the original Apple USB cord;
    Google furiously for answers;
    Things I haven't yet tried:
    Restore Iphone without restoring backup afterwards (will probably try next, but would be a hassle.);
    Borrow another Iphone to test on this computer;
    Give up & get an Android phone;
    I'm using an Iphone 3GS running iOS 4.0.2, Xcode 3.2.3, on OSX 10.6.3.
    Any help or insight would be much appreciated,
    Owen

    This seems to be a software issue.
    Removing & reinstalling Xcode solved it.
    Frustrating, but solvable.
