IPhone 5 can't send SMS - error when sending SMS?

All my problems i should send to my local carrier, which refused to help me, because iPhone 5 sales are not officialy started in Russia.

Only way you can buy this phone is from shady dealers, that are taking a trip to US or Europe and purchasing it for further reselling in Russia. That's why it's USD 1500 for 16gb instead of much lower original price. That dealers won't provide you an original invoice, so at this point i'm totaly forceless.

However i'm a legitimate customer, i always pay for my stuff full price, not using any of jailbreaks or anything. But who cares…

As i said, i spend over an hour on the phone with Apple Care US, and they told me that there's no-one working on my case, and no-one will be.

Please help me understand that inspite getting the unlock message you still can't use imessage and facetime?

thats strange coz after my unlock message i can use everything…

I followed the same prositure as other people here bye sending the email to apple. But after 4 days i haven't get any answer. I live in Norway btw, haven't heard of other people around here that has the same problem yet.

Unlocking service ill not help you. You will pay 160 USD for nothing. This is the problem with apple database. So now only call to apple may help. Or we can wait ios updating but there's no any confirmation that this bug will be solved.

Probably you bought a locked phone which can work only with some American operator. An unlocked iPhone costs more 500USD even in the USA.

  • What is MF Message Error Domain error 1032? - 1 My iPhone keeps displaying this message and its really annoying. I have read that deleting your yahoo email profile can resolve this but will it erase all my emails currently on my iPhone. Or will it redownload them when I re-register my yahoo email account?

I used tiny umbrella and managed to get past the 3194 error, but then I'm getting error 11. I have tried to erase and reset through the phone only, but it simply shows an endless loading ticker, and not the apple logo and loading bar. How can I reset my phone?

  • Problems sending SMS using iPhone? Have a question for iphone. Have any of you encountered the same SMS being sent multiple times to the same number (at the exact same time)? The recipient only received the msg once but when the bill comes, I'm charged for the same message about 4 times as their records show the message has been sent four times. Is it a phone software problem or a problem with the phone company's network? Would appreciate any input from you guys.
  • My photos are not sending in group messages, but are sending in individual messages? I'm with Straight Talk Wireless. At first my pictures were sending in the group message but now they are not. I don't know what's wrong, all my settings are what they are suppose to be, and I'm currently on an iPhone 5s IOS 8.4.
