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)
View 4 RepliesI had used a handheld upgrade link only to discover this message: BlackBerry® Device Software v4.5 is not supported by your wireless service provider. Now the reason why this is complicated is because I do not know what the service provider is for the phone. I am simply attempting to restore it. I have made several attempts at wiping and factory resetting via JL_Cmder but all attempts have failed because the program cannot hold a connection with the Bold. Can someone please help?

I called AT&T's (my carrier) tech support and they got it working for a few minutes but as soon as I got off the phone with the agent it stopped working! My account with them is current.

I have followed the instructions to use an unactivated iPhone 3G as an iPod touch, but I can't add new apps that I downloaded from my new iPhone to the old one. When I click on the "apps" section everything is visible but dithered out so that I can't add new apps or rearrange the old ones.

My brother passed on his old iPhone 3GS so my kids could use it as an iPod Touch equivalent, but I'm having trouble activating it. First, I did read the main support article on this:

But it says you either need the SIM card from your new iPHone or the original SIM card.
1. My own iPHone 4S has a microSIM that won't fit in the 3GS's SIM card slot.
2. The 3GS does not have its original SIM card (my brother doesn't have it, thinks the carrier took it back when he upgraded). I tried inserting a SIM card from a prepaid phone my kids use for emergencies but the 3GS would not activate with that SIM card installed. Right now the 3GS is stuck unable to activate.

Info:iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3
On the Verizon website, they state a 16gb max micro SD card for the incredible.On the HTC site, they state 32gb max.I purchased a 32gb card only to have the HTC Incredible take forever to load things (music) to the card. When there, it stores the dir structure, but erases the contents of some of the content.I also notice that the LOST.DIR gets full of files with numbers for filenames and no extensions.I've also experienced that the card gets completely wiped by the phone.I've re-formatted the drive numerous times, both in the phone an dexternal. Each time the formatting states all good.Load everything back onto the card, rebooted device, empty card again.left phone running, reloaded card externally and inserted the card. it only finds a few music items in the "music" directory and again cleans out some others.
Done a phone diagnostic, checked that the phone does see all 32 gb, everything looks good.I posted a message to the HTC customer support and so far been ignored.Is there anyone else having this sort of problem ?
I don't know much about sim cards. AT&T has told me two stories, and I just wanna see if anyone has experience in this area to help me out.
I just bought a microsim card from an AT&T store. Reason being is I'm doing an upgrade swap. The main line on our family account is using the discount and then handing the iPhone 4 to me. I in turn will be giving them my iPhone 3GS.
Here come the sim card questions. Since an iPhone 3GS has a normal sim card, the main line of our account can simply put their sim card in the 3GS and then it'll work. Correct? Are there additional steps? Do they put the sim card in and then sync with iTunes?
In terms of the iPhone 4 I'll be getting, we're picking it up at an Apple store and they HAVE TO activate it using the main line. So from what AT&T told me, I can't use that sim card hence my buying a blank microsim card.
Now an AT&T rep at the store told me that before I put the new microsim card in the iPhone 4, I have to call an AT&T rep, activate the sim card itself AND THEN place it in the iPhone 4. Another AT&T rep said to just put the blank microsim card in the iPhone 4 and sync it with iTunes and follow instructions to put it on your phone line. I don't wanna mess anything up as I only have 1 microsim card. Can anyone help me with what I should do?
Can anyone explain me how to do this? I tried looking for like the two guides only available on the internet and no luck.I tried to pop it into the iPad and it didn't register. What did I do wrong or how do I ensure that it works? I will try to post a picture later.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhile I've sat out for the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS, I was unable to get my hands on a launch-day iPhone 4 this year due to work scheduling. I was able to sell my own iPhone 3GS and purchase an iPhone 4 on eBay (yeah yeah). Well, its coming tomorrow morning and it just hit me that I have a SIM card and it has a (blank, I know, I did some searching) Micro-SIM card.
Will I be able to just plug it into iTunes and activate on my account? Or will I have to actually call or go to AT&T to discuss this with them?I don't want to accidentally activate the eBay purchaser's account, since the box is still sealed.Sorry if this has been answered before. I've found questions regarding iPhone purchases based on other lines but not one like this.
I got my adapter today in the mail and already cut my SIM down ready to go. Works great with the adapter back into my 2G! The real test will be making sure it works in the iPhone 4, but I have no doubt it'll work just great.

View 1 Replies View RelatedProbably a dumb question, but I've never fully understood the purpose of a SIM card with the iPhone when iTunes supposedly syncs all contacts and phonebook entries anyway.But I believe I have my contacts stored on my sim card and I always do regular backups with 'contacts' checked in iTunes, so am I safe when the new phone comes out with the microsim? Will iTunes automatically sync all my contacts back onto the phone from my 3.1.3 firmware?And how do you get your contacts back onto the new SIM? AFAIK you can't manually put contacts onto the SIM through iPhone unless it's jailbroken.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've talked to people from AT&T and gotten conflicting answers. I am traveling to France with my wife. We both have the iPhone 3G. We want to be able to call and possibly text each other. We do not need any other data access at all.I know "data roaming" needs to be turned off. What about "cellular data"? On or off? What's the difference does it make if "cellular data" is on or off if "data roaming" remains off? Will I be able to send iMessages through a wi-fi connection with "cellular data" off? Will I be able to send regular text messages through a wi-fi connection with "cellular data" off? Will I be able to connect to the internet through a wi-fi connection with "cellular data" off? And none of the settings "enable 3G," "cellular data," or "data roaming" have any effect on voice calls, right?

I'm pretty new to this whole wireless/smartphone business, so forgive me if this question seems daft.
Say I were to buy an iPhone 4 for full price from Telus (my local, Canadian provider), could I use this phone internationally, say in Britain on a different network? Not just through roaming, but through sim card swap so I wouldnt be going through Telus whatsoever.
My husband is in China and we got a small int'l texting plan (AT&T) to use while he's there, but he's unable to send or receive texts. He gets the red exclamation point when he tries. Data roaming is turned off and so is cellular data. It's an iPhone 4.

I just got an iPhone 4S on Saturday, so forgive me if this is a n00b question. How much would it cost, if anything, to make an international call with Facetime? I live in the US and a friend of mine lives in the UK. We both have iPhones and we can text with iMessage, but I wasn't sure if it'd also be free to use Facetime to do it as well.
