Guest Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 uhhh your sim card is inactive? :L 1) are you on contract or pay as you go? 2) if you are on contract have you payed for the latest month/year whatever 3) Do you have signal where you live/is there a local problem with signal? 4) have you accidentally removed the sim card? 5) if no to number 4, is there any way the sim card may have dislodged itself?

mccaincracker Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The simcard is located at the top of the phone in-between the headphone slot and the sleep button. Try pushing down on the black part that's in the middle. Lemme know if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steffen Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 about 2-3 months..... and how do i add music to my iphone once i fix it?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaincracker Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 To add music, you just add music to your library. Plug in your phone, and once it shows your phone info there should be serveral tabs, Music, Apps, Ringtones, etc... Click on the music tab there should be a box saying something like "Sync all music and playlists" or something like that. make sure thats checked and sync ur phone. Also what happened before your phone stopped working, did you drop it or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steffen Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 nope its in perfect condition. When i tried to add music it said do you want to update to the new version w.e so i did and then i turned on my iphone then it saids Emergency calls only and all that..... And it doesnt let me go to the homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRIZZLY Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laos Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 you have to call AT&T and check the activation or their settings. Emergency calls only (with a SIM card) means there is no contract or the phone isnt activated. AT&T Customer Service will check the SIM Card and see if its correctly on records etc. Sometimes people put SIM cards in iPhones without telling AT&T and it screws things up, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steffen Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yes the sync button and im on a 2 year contract with T-mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steffen Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 @ Laos, its been working fine for the past 2-3 months. Ever since i tried to update on Itunes it then just said Emergency calls only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steffen Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hammer? GUess i can sell it at swap meet and throw in a collectible hammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEBRUARY Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yes the sync button and im on a 2 year contract with T-mobile The 4.3 update probably screwed up the unlocking so you can run on tmobile. If all fails, Google it. I can't tell you exactly what's wrong, because I am not familiar with iOS. The statement above is just a guess.
