    Weird iPhone problem.

    Hey there.

    I just had to do a restore on my iPhone 4. After doing it, it said to place a SIM card in with no passcode on it to activate.

    Well, I have a passcode on my SIM card....But I tried it anyways.

    I put it in and it works fine. However, it didn't ask for the passcode when I rebooted.

    So my phone is working but there is no longer a passcode.

    The problem:

    When I try to import my contacts off the SIM, it just pops up "Importing SIM Contacts" real fast and disappears. No contacts imported.

    I think this has something to do with the passcode being on there.

    How can I fix this?

    Thanks.

    Seen similar issues with the sim lock code on the iphones(this is SIM lock and not phone lock, yes??)

    Do you have another phone to put sim in and remove sim lock from there?

    or

    Try to create a SIM lock in the iphone settings menu, and then remove the SIM lock.
    Reboot phone, after.

    Now that I think of it.....That was an iPhone lock, not a SIM lock...

    Hmm. I wonder what the problem is!

    I know the contacts are on the SIM because I've had it in different phones.

    I don't have another phone I can put it in because its one of those micro SIM's....Other phones have normal size SIM's.

    is it stock or jailbroken??

    If it was mine, I would create and remove both a phone lock and sim lock.
    Do a Full phone restore through itunes.

    See if the issue returns after a Clean restore.

    I have had some upgrades (not restores) that went a little strange and easiest remedy was to do a restore again.

    I've had pretty good success with doing restores to fix random annoying issues. I seem to have to do a restore maybe 1x or 2x a year on average.

    It is a new restore.

    Complete restore...not from a backup.
