Activating an unlocked iPhone 5 for tmobile?
I bought an unlocked Sprint iPhone 5. But when I put in the tmobile sim card it says that it is an incompatible sim and not supported. Yet on the top corner it shows that it has 4g signal. When I send a txt to the tmobile number. I can see that it did get to the iPhone when i remove the tmobile sim and go into messages. Someone please help.
Added (1). Also, when I first put in the tmobile sim card, in the about section in the carrier field, it does say tmobile but when it searches for signal it changes to "no service" and restarts a screen that says the sim is incompatible.
If its factory unlock you just restore it without a sim them you put the tmobile
- Will an unlocked iphone 4S work for tmobile if it isn't factory unlocked? I want to get an iPhone 4S and my friend has the iPhone 4 unlocked but i'm worried that if i get it non-factory unlocked it won't work. My uncle tried to do it a couple of months ago and apple said that if it was factory unlocked every time the phone shut off or died it would reset. I was just wondering if the same thing would happen if it wasn't factory unlocked? So if I get it unlocked everytime it will shut off it will reset? That is what i'm worried about.
- Why isn't my iphone 3GS activating? Ok, so my iPhone 3GS was unlocked on 5.1.1, and it was jailbroken. I wanted to factory unlock it, so it will be 6.0.1 and still unlock. When the people said my unlock was ready, they told me to update it to 6.0.1. When I tried setting it up and activate it, it won't work. It says we're unable to continue with your activation at this time. Any help would be appreciated.
- Verizon iPhone 5 not activating? I received my new iPhone 5 today and it keeps saying that it isn't activating and to call the Verizon customer support number if the problem persists. Unfortunately it is after business hours and I can't call them until tomorrow. Is there anything that I can do to activate it now? I've set up the iPhone and backed it up and turned off my other activated phone that this one is replacing and it is still not activating. Any ideas?
