iPhone not working with virgin mobile HELP TRIED EVERYTHING
 

Hi,
BEFORE YOU JUST DISMISS **** I really have done everything that I have found, please read to see if you can help :)


I have cut down a virgin sim i order to fit into my iphone 4. I recieve good 3G signal and this is displayed in the status bar but I cannot make/recieve calls or texts and internet does not work either. I have tried everything, even those website you go on with the iphone like unlockit.co.nz ect but nothing is working. I even restored my phone to new with all new carrier setting ect but nothing is working.



Can somebody give me any tips ? Thanks !

Where did your iPhone come from? Could it be locked to another network?

Re: iPhone not working with virgin mobile HELP TRIED EVERYTHING
 

It is unlocked, I've tried it with another SIM card on the three network and I was able to make and receive calls ect

Re: iPhone not working with virgin mobile HELP TRIED EVERYTHING
 

how sure are you that it isn't locked to Three?

Have you tried turning roaming on?

Normally if it's locked to another network you won't even get a connection, he has signal bars so probably not.

Why not just ask Virgin for a new sim. At the most it will cost you £5.

I was running a iPhone4 on a cut down sim, on a Blackberry contract, with Blackberry Services disabled. Worked fine.

I've moved to a sim only contract and VM sent me a micro sim free of charge.

Im actually on a blackberry contract and was just trying the whole vm sim in iphone with a paygo sim i ordered, so do you think if i cut down my actual blackberry sim and disable the services it will work ? or do you think it will just be better to order a micro sim

Depends how brave you are.:)

I had to persuade VM to stop my Blackberry Services. They weren't keen. I also had to do the unlockit.co.nz thing, but that was straight forward enough. Just glad now the Blackberry has gone. iPhone so much better. :)

Okay, Im fine with calling them up - been through some pretty hard complaints witht hem before, account notes should turn them off ****ing me off :PP:

I just dont see why this sim isnt working though ? I mean it is a blank paygo sim, sure i cut it down but its got full 3G signal .... :confused: Stil dont make calls or texts ect
