    I have an error

    "The sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported"

    I cannot get it to find the software etc the phone has never been switched on before

    Obviously it's locked to 3.

    Ask 3 ( ie pay them) to unlock it

    Why don't you just use the 3 sim?

    Get the phone unlocked or port your number over to three
