Hi :) i just bought my iphone 2dy & after charging it, its asking me to insert a sim card. but after looking @ the the instruction booklets, it doesnt show where to open it, to do so. cn u help me pls? Thanx - Tr!sh

hi . remove your airing & if your phone is serial 3g 3gs look @ the top beside power button & you gonna find very tiny hole put your airing in that hole & push strait down & you gonna see the shape of the sim card .

Hi thanks for asking, you need to get a paper clip and insert it into the tiny hole at the bottom of the iphone this will eject the sim card holder please click on this link there is a video which explain how to open the iphone.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kir19QRGzv8&feature=fvw. even though it talks about removing the sim card the steps are the same.

Thank you for contacting Fixya Support I am glad to assist.

What you may need to do is eject the SIM card and then re-insert it and try to update your iPhone via iTunes again.

According to Apple, the iPhone has to contain compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier and only those cards may be used to activate iPhone.

So make sure you have the right SIM card that is supported by the current carrier you have for your phone service.

I hope this information helps.

if you have your sim tool (safety pin like) stand cell up right..on the top you'll see a hole ..insert tool sim tray should pop up..place sim card on to tray, place tray back into cell...start txtg & chattin

at the top of the iphone there is a small hole. put in a small pin or the pin that came inside your iphone box in the booklet flap into that hole and the tray will simply pop out like magic.

Hey I can solve this!!!!!!!!! ok step 1 : do you have friend that has a sim card? well if you do ask to barrow it then insert it step2: go to itunes and your iphone should come up step 3: ask him or her to insert there Billing Zip Code (i forgot to mention this, when itunes reconizes the iphone it will ask you to register it or whatever click continue) and ask your friend to put his or her personal **** such as email address an LAST 4 DIGITS OF SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER!!! step 4: when thats done it have to install then it will let you into itunes then sync your music,videos yadda yadda yadda then pop out the sim card WARNING do not put your real sim card or it will do this **** all over again ALSO i do not know yet how to make calls or just look up fring its a app(FOR FREE on itunes) that allows you to make calls WITHOUT SIM CARD look it up
Overall (depending on the speed of your computer ) it should take 5-10 minutes and aslo you have your friends number programed onto your iphone but its better than trying to guess the PUK/SIM PIN

Hi I was using ziphone with 1.1.4 firmware and wanted to use Quickpwn 2.1. I restored my Iphone from I tunes by clicking and holding SHIFT then hitting restore in I tunes and after it rebooted it asked me to insert original sim-card. I inserted my pay as you go O2 sim-card, which it was happy with. I went to upgrade to 2.1.1 firmware but it asked me to upgrade to the latest I tunes. After updating I tunes I then uploaded the firmware 2.1.1 I then followed the procedures exactly as explained from QuickPwn, everything worked fine. It came to the end which also unlocked the phone but when putting in the unofficial sim-card, it said “Please insert original sim-card.
