How to activate my iphone 4s?

I just bought an unlocked iphone 4s and put my 3 network (uk) sim in it, it comes up with the message ' only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iphon. Please insert sim that came with your iphone'! It has been factory reset by my mate so i don't have the original sim and when i plug it into itunes the device does not come up although my laptop recognises it with its audible tone! How do i activate it please?

You need the original sim, or call the carrier they might help.
if you need a factory unlocked already activated iphone 4s, email me i have a few for sale or trade

Simple from there.

There's only one thing I will say to you. You should've got a Samsung.

Just unlock it

  • Iphone 6+ Won't Turn On. How to activate old Iphone 5? So, my iphone 6+ won't turn on at the moment. But I have my old Iphone 5 still and is working perfectly.

  • IPhone 5 broke, can I buy a used iPhone 4 and activate it? This may seem like a silly question, but I'm not that informed about cell phone plans really… I've had a iPhone 5 for the past year and a half through Verizon. It broke today. Like full on broke nto covered by insurance… I found a Verizon iPhone 4 for sale for like 70 bucks in great condition from someone on craigslist. If I buy that, can I go into Verizon with it and have them activate it for me and have it be my new phone? Does this make sense?
