Where can i buy a used iphone 5c Sim card?
I'm looking to buy a used iphone 5c to use as an ipod but i don't know where to get a Sim card that has been used before so i can activate it. If i buy a new Sim card and put it in will that work? Or does it have To have been used by an iphone before.
No, once a SIM card has been deactivated, it is dead. Plus if it were "live" it would be active on another person's account, NOT yours. So what you do is this, go to YOUR cell phone providers store, ask for as SIM card that works in the iPhone 5C, not sure but I think it uses a micro SIM card. Then it will be activated to YOUR account.
And any other SIM card you are using in another phone will stop working. So if you have more than one phone that you are actively using, they will both need to used the same sized SIM, or you will need an adapter to use that SIM in a phone that uses a different size Sim card.
Why not just buy an iPod touch instead? Much easier & less hassle to get what it is you want out of it.
To answer the question though, it doesn't matter if it is a used SIM or not or if it was used specifically in a 5c or not. What matters here is if the SIM is from the carrier the phone is locked to (most likely).
- If I buy an iphone used from another carrier ad buy a sim card from my carrier will that work? I have an iphone 4s with virgin mobile and I want an iphone 5 but all virgin mobile phones are so expensive! I looked on ebay for virgin mobile nano sim cards and they are only around 2 dollars. If I bought one of these sim cards and a used iphone 5 from another carrier would it work with my carrier?
- Can you use an old sim card in a new iPhone after transferring the info to a new sim card? I'm borrowing an iPhone from a friend, but it requires a sim card. He transferred all his information to a new sim card in a different phone. Can I use the old sim card on a different iPhone?
- Can you switch the iPhone 4 SIM card with an iPhone 4S SIM card? My mom has an iPhone 4S for sprint and I have an iPhone 4 for AT&T. Is it possible to switch SIM cards?
- Can you put a cut sim card into the old sim card slots? I have an iphone 5 and my sim card is cut down to fit into it. I want to be able to use my sim in my old nokia brick phone as well though because i'm attending a heavy metal festival next week and don't want my expensive iphone to get wrecked in the mosh. Just wondering if its at all possible.
