I bought a used iPhone 4S and erased and the previous owner had his account iCloud out of it, but I can't yet to complete the set up because he says sim card is not supported?

I bought a used iPhone 4s to a friend of mine, and they took their offshore and all iCloud account as they were supposed too. It still won't let me complete the set up it says that my card SIM of Fido is not supported, but the last time I saw the information of the carrier when the person that I bought the phone he said 15.5 Fido I think. Do I need to phone apple or what I call fido and to somehow cope? I myself remember having to change devices when using a fido handset represent the last I checked, and I'd love to have this figured out without having to pay more money. Help lol

The error you see on the SIM not supported is indicative of the device being locked to another carrier SIM card that you provide to. I suggest you check that with your friend and see if this device has been locked to another carrier. Could be called Apple, but all they could do was tell you what carrier of the device is locked to Apple do not unlock phones. Once find you the carrier, you need to contact and see if provide unlocking services, and if they do, see if you qualify to unlock. Once again, your best first call is to the friend you bought it from.

    This is because your phone has been hacked to unlock illegally. Update caused it to relock the initial carrier. Only the carrier so that it is locked can authorize to release.

  • SIM card is not supported in the activation

    I have a question about activating my iPhone with a different SIM card. I have an unlocked iPhone and I tried to use another (of another carrier) SIM card with it. However, the phone will not turn on and I got an error message indicating that the SIM card is not supported by the initial activation and it isn't a hardware problem. He advised me to call my carrier. So I called my operator and the customer support agent has confirmed that my iPhone is indeed open. Now I'm really confused as to why the other carrier's SIM card is not supported. All SIM cards I've tried with my current provider works with my iPhone. All other SIM cards from other telecommunications companies does not work (I tried 3 others).

    Then the phone is not unlocked. Have you asked an unlock of your carrier and they gave him? If Yes, do restore you the phone to factory with iTunes and receive a "congratulations, your phone is now unlocked" message? If this isn't the case, then the unlock code is not complete. You must restore the device with iTunes at the factory, not a backup. When you get the message "Congratulations", you can restore your backup.

  • I bought the iPhone 6 s without contract. When I tried to activate it, I can't, because "the SIM card is not supported...". ». Support Apple refuses to help me even to say what company locked my new legally purchsed iPhone. What should do? I have

    I bought the new iPhone 6s at the Target store without a contract. When I put my SIM card, iPhone infomed me that it can not be activated.

    The phone is new, legal, covered by warranty accroding Apple its database.

    I called Apple support twice, they said it has been locked by someone, but can't even say the name of the company, which has locked and why.

    Thus, Apple recommended just support me nothing. NOTHING! They even did not provide me the name of the manager who can help me in this situation.

    I called T-Mobile, thay said that they don't lock this device.

    Even the ATT has not answered all my requests.

    Now, I'm dead gold Ibrik. What should do?

    PS. I am totally disappointed by Apple's policy and support. It's terrible that the company with these brilliant products has this terrible attention legal clients.

    Go to the place where you bought this phone and ask for a refund.

  • By using the Tecra M750 in New Zealand and the United Kingdom suppliers for a SIM card?

    I go to New Zealand for a few weeks and then of the United Kingdom to 4. I have a Tecra M750 with built in 3G that works on Optus in Australia. I don't want to pay their stupid "mega-roaming charges" If you want to get prepaid SIM for local use. Anyone know which vendors that I use in NZ or UK? Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion, you must choose a local mobile provider if you n t want to pay a tax of roaming
    Sorry I m not from New Zealand and so I do not know which provider would be the best

    But you should google a bit I'm sure you will find some useful information

  • Unlocked IPhone, SIM card is not valid problem

    Hello

    I went to study in the United States for a few months and I bought the iPhone 6s 'apple Store' to the United States.

    After that I came back to Thailand, I can't use my card SIM Thai (AIS network). It appeared that the sim card is not valid.

    I had to call apple care to solve the problem for me and after gave them my IMEI, they told me to contact verizon wireless to unlock my phone.

    So far, I confused altogether since I bought the Apple Store iphone, not Verizon.

    However, I contacted verizon wireless and even once, after gave them my IMEI, they said that since

    the unit was purchased third-party (which is apple Store) so that the device has not been locked by their network.

    I tried to restore my device so many times and also with the mode of recovery, but it still can not use.

    I checked with APPLE and they said that my device is unlocked model.

    Note that first sim that I plug when I got this device is ATT SIM card.

    I was contacted to ATT and they also said that my device has not been locked

    through their network.

    Please give me suggestions on how to solve this problem

    It seems that if you have the iPhone version, intended for use on the Verizon network. If so, it is not locked. However, this does not mean that it will work on the network in your country.  Phones, designed to run on the Verizon network use strips of LTE 13, 4 and 2. It seems that the AIS uses 3 and 1.
