I bought an iPhone 4S from best buy store in US without any carrier contract. I also said that I'm going to use it abroad (In Turkey). After coming back I registered the phone to my carrier and it is in the white list. However, I cannot activate the phone. I also tried an AT&T sim but that didn't work at all. What should I do?
I was having problems with my iphone 4s so i got a replacement and now when i put a sim card in to activate the phone it says "only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier can activate the phone" What is the problem? It is a brand new replacement from apple. I got it myself today.
My iphone just shows these screens. "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported Carriers store to receive a replacement SIM card." I don't have the original SIM card and don't really know what the carrier originally was?
I've done a bit of digging, trying to find a solution to my problem before I posted, but most posts in the vein of a Media Card unrecognized/unable to format trail off into "is your SD card bad?" with no response following. So here's where I stand:
My phone: Blackberry Curve 8330 My Carrier: Verizon My OS: v4.5.0.175
2gb media card has been used in phone since purchase in July '08. As of 2 weeks ago, phone no longer reads media card. Media card is recognized by phone (meaning phone detects whether card is present or not). Error message of "Media card cannot be read. Verify that the memory card is formatted." Attempts to format via phone fail immediately. When plugging into computer via USB (with Mass-Storage Enabled), Blackberry device is recognized, but no media card is present. A greyed-out drive ( I: ) appears in My Computer, but is inaccessable and cannot be checked, opened, or formatted (Error message; "Please insert a disk into drive I: ).
Attempted solutions: Have used 3 different media cards: 2gb Sony, 2gb PNY, 8gb. Each card tested via SD adapter and all read correctly in My Computer: can move files to/from, checkdisk, and reformat. Have formatted all via PC. Each card gives same error "Media card....formatted" as stated above. Hard reset (battery pull) has no effect. Have removed battery for 48 hours (in case there were any stubborn capacitors, or something like that). Have turned Mass Storage, Encryption, and Media Card support On and Off, removed and reinserted card with each parameter changed, no effect (I can give you the list of all of that, but you get the idea. I'm decently thorough). Rolled back the OS to previous version (via Desktop Manager), problem still exists. Re-upgraded to current version, no change.To sum up, the phone works fine, but the media card may as well not be there. It's not the card(s), and I don't think it's the software, given that I changed the OS up and down, so I'm assuming maybe hardware. I'd appreciate any suggestions, and if you need any further info, I'll do my best to provide.
I bought my Lumia 1020 with contract at 3Mobile Uk, the phone is locked but am liable to unlock or ask the network do it. It's passed 3 month now and my phone still locked after several calls to 3Mobile asking the unlock code.
I have a few cards in the app Cards (it sends personalized paper greetings and birthday cards through the mail) that show in my history (already sent cards as well as drafts). Is there any way to remove these cards from the app?
Does anyone know if I can use 2 sim cards with one iphone 4? I had my iphone stolen last week but I am getting one next week for work. My personal iphone was new with a 24 month contract.
So I want to know if I can use both sim cards with the one phone?
I am buying my friend's 3Gs iphone, and I have already a 3G. Can I simply swap my sim card into her old phone, and continue using my current plan and number through AT&T, or do I have to call AT&T to do any activating of this new phone?(her old one)I'm hoping I don't have to call them at all (what a hassle). Can anyone let me know of their experiences doing this and if that is all there is to it or is there more?
I'm trying to transfer one iPhone to another. I've backed up the old iPhone, but I'm wondering about the sim card. Do I have to physically move the old sim card from the old phone to the new one? If so, how do I do this?
my dad got my an iphone for christmas and he wanted me to use my virgin sim card in it so i had to jailbreak it and unlock it so i did and it was working perfectly fine until one night. I was watching tv on my phone and decided to go to sleep the phone had 33% battery left so i thought ok it should last the whole night when i woke up the next morning my phone died on me. I tried putting it on charge and turned it back on but to shut itself down for some reason even thought the battery by then was roughly 50% so i tried restoring everything back to original software and now it wont recognise the original orange sim card it came with when i got my phone. I have also tried using an virgin simcard just in case and also used an 02 simcard aswell for good measures but nothing all i get is
"There is no SIM card installed in the phone you are attempting to activate. Please dissconect and insert a SIM card into the iPhone"
my iPhone 4 is supposed to be factory unlocked - and it works with all German carriers - I also checked one sim-card from Ireland, which also worked. However, I can't activate the iPhone with a Chinese sim-card or Thai sim-card. The error message "sim not valid" shows up. I tried those two sim-cards with an iPhone 4S of a friend (also factory unlocked), and both worked perfectly. My assumption is that my iPhone is only unlocked for European carriers?
Yesterday, I made up 5 cards to my friends. And then I hit buy now. This morning, I received 5 emails. All of them are from Apple, each one cost $5.79 but when I check my Visa balance, there are two more cost each one $2.81. I was ready to send another card to my mom, but now I can't. Who knows what's going on? Can I get the extra cost back?
I have opened up some apps, particular two games, and they close while it is starting up. I would think this has something to do with the apps not being updated yet to iOS 4. Has anyone else noticed this on heir iPhone 4?
I tried to update my iPhone 6 to the newest version today. I got a message that the update failed. I now only see a picture of the data cable and the red iTunes picture. All updates and restores fail.
Was running fine till last week I powered completely off and on again - a couple of times - right before the problem showed up.(I cycled power the first time because it was running so slowly. The second time because "No WiFi" showed up in "Settings". After the second reboot "WiFi" was back, but after that none of my non-Apple applications would launch.)
Anyone have any idea what the problem is?(It would seem to be DRM (digital rights management) related. But why all of a sudden? Has iOS 3.1.3 been completely "timed out"?) I am thinking to restore from backup - through iTunes. I don't really have the option to "re-install" all my apps from the AppStore. Because most of them have moved on to "iOS 4" only versions...and my old iPhone can only support iOS 3.1.3.
Is it possible to get microsim cards for wireless phone/data service internationally (europe, middle east, asia) currently? I am thinking of getting the iphone 4 but need it to work internationally (non-ATT)
I have an Acura ZDX and was able to pair my 3G / iOS3 both via BT and USB successfully. Now with my iP4 I can pair and use my iP4 as an iPod via BT, using the iP4 to change songs; under USB it seems to connect and load the data and songs, but it will not play a selected song using the Acura NAV monitor to select. Anyone else who has an Acura have this issue? Anyone else having similar computability issues with their car?
I can send pictures and videos to most people. Recently I continue to get a red not delivered whenever I send pictures or video to 2 other iMessage users. I can send them text messages, just not photos or videos and only to the two other people. Do you think the problem is with my phone or theirs?
Yesterday I changed my Apple ID Password. Since then when I try to make a FaceTime Audio call from my iPad or my iMac it get a Call Failed Using iPhone message. Â
My iPad sees my iPhone as far as using the Hotspot and FaceTime has my phone number listed as the one to use. Â
I can't send SMS with my Verizon iPhone 4s. I'm in Amsterdam, using a Vodafone NL SIM card. Can send/receive phone calls, receive texts, and use data; just can't send texts! I've checked and reset the message center number by "calling": **5005*7672*+316540881000# on my phone. When I type in *#5005*7672# it gives me the +316540881000 phone number. But, I still can't send texts.
I've recently moved from Orange to O2 and my iPhone 3GS doesn't recognise the new O2 SIM card. Orange told me that they would send me an unlock code from Apple a month ago. Talked to Orange today and they say I need to get it from O2 but O2 say that's not the case.
