"No SIM card installed. Insert a valid SIM with no Pin lock to activate iPhone."

The iPhone unlocking was done officially by the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with - the carrier contacted Apple and you received notification when the unlocking process was ready which was done with iTunes?

You're welcome.

The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server.

If the carrier will not unlock the phone then there is nothing that you can do. If you cannot activate the phone, you will not be able to use it as a iPod touch either. You cannot use the device without it being activated. See this support document for any other questions about using without wireless support. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406

if you buy a second hand iphone or even a newish one and tri to replace your sim into it it will automatically lock and my iphone 3gs i brought from a car boot did just this and says insert a valid sim with no lock to activate iphone and contacted orange and they said to make your phone work again you have to pay £8.99 and wait 7 days for a pin to unlock new sim and has ee t mobile and orange has joined has one and to also check your phones not stolen its a bit of a money making if you ask me or i think just go and buy a smash phone with a allready unlocked sim to your network you can go on to a imei check if you dont know the original service provider

No sum card installled

I was buy a 6s plus in USA I think they use only AT&T network but it's not support srilanka network so what I do this problem. Pleas give me a good answer

Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone is locked can unlock it.

If you think your iPhone is locked to AT&T, contact them to see if you

qualify for unlocking.
