iPhone 4S - GSM-Forum

Hello.

I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.0.1. It is locked to Verizon USA and I'm using it with an X-Sim (Don't know which version it is). I ordered R-Sim 8 Gold from eBay yesterday, the one which supports iOS7.

What I want to know is if I update my phone, lets say, as soon as iOS7 comes out, will it ask me to activate the phone by inserting a sim card? Or take me straight to the homescreen (after the setup)? Like, will I be able to use my phone (not call/sms) without having the R-Sim already?

Also, if that's not possible and I have to wait for my R-Sim to be delivered first, what course am I supposed to follow before updating to iOS7 that my phone works perfectly? I'm a newbie at this stuff so a good explanation would be great. Thank you for your great unlocking solution.

Cheers.

If your phone is already activated and you use the "UPDATE" option on itunes you wont have to activate again and it will take you directly to the home screen.

Hey Finn.

My phone is running a 2G network right now. I'm assuming that does mean that my phone is activated? So all I have to do is press update, and I'll have iOS7 up and running? IF this is not the case, would I be able to downgrade to iOS6?

Also, one last thing. Once I've updated, and I get my R-Sim. Will I be able to use it as the standard plug and play?

Thank you so much for your quick reply.

If you are using your phone right now this means it is activated. So using the UPDATE option will keep it activated.

You will have only a couple of hours to downgrade to 6.1.3 tomorrow. Apple will probably stop signing 6.1.x tomorrow at night or on Thursday.

That's great.

So basically once I'm on iOS7, when I get my R-Sim all I need to do is plug it in and start using my phone? I'm sorry for bugging you.

And once again, thank you.

Yes. Unless Apple changes the final iOS7 which i dont think it will happen.
