If these options are not programmed in the current firmware then what's the point of giving them in the menu??? |

Member: 2922972 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 4 | BTW, I was checking online and looks like there are other turbo-SIM cards in the market which are not only cheaper than R-SIM but those also have working IMSI/TMSI modes and you can properly select the carrier. I am thinking I should have bought the $2 SAITONG sim cards instead of these expensive R-SIM cards ($5 each) which show the IMSI/TMSI options in the menu but none of these work in R-SIM !!! Geez man...never heard of this kind of business model, I have only 5 R-SIM cards but I bought those like just 3 weeks ago so I am still upset that this simple firmware update ain't released by the R-SIM Eng team. I am not even sure if I should buy the dongle since even that will be expensive...! I am going to give that SAITONG card a try and if it works I'll do business with only SAITONG instead of R-SIM going forward. BTW, I am not in the USA so obviously I can't use ICCIC unlock at the moment (Apple blocked non-USA sim cards) so the only option for me is IMSI/TMSI mode (Mai mode in new R-SIM version) !!! |

I think I'll buy 1 SAITONG card and 1 Heicard that way I can check and decide which one works for international SIM cards using IMSI/TMSI/whatever mode they call it. At least they are saying they will support the firmware upgrade! | |

The usual/old ICCID unlock is not working anymore (from July-20 to be precise) for non-US based sim cards but the new R-SIMs are supposedly using some other trick (probably IMSI/TMSI to impersonate US based carrier) which are supposed to work even on non-US sim cards. | |
