Unactivated - the most popular on ebay. Two species:
- Released from existent sprint accounts
- Those with bad esn.

You can also bypass activation with GPP or R-SIM. Outside the USA, aim for Sprint with GPP(newer version, impossible to tell as most sellers use stock GPP photos. Aim for the one that shows, "For iOS 6, Sprint, USA flag." The ones that show Verizon do not work very well at all regardless if Sprint or Verizon.

Bad ESN or clean ESN is irrelevant for you because you are outside the USA and have a 2G 64K SIM. It will create valid activation tickets.

I need to double check these Verizon GPP SIMs to show if they switch the default to Carrier 16.0 on iOS 7.1 Verizon. They do not work with 128K SIMs, so I stopped ordering them and was just using the reset SIM on the Sprint GPP chips for Verizon-locked iPhones. The Sprint GPP firmware is definitely newer though.

what about r-sim air? the same?

No, R-SIM Air doesn't support picture messaging on any iOS without a jailbreak or AT&T iPhone 4S. Sprint 4S is 100% working with GPP(7.9) & 64K SIM including picture messaging. With 128K SIM, you need valid activation tickets from Sprint on 7.1 and iRose tool(unlockpro.ru/nano4g), regardless of GPP version or R-SIM Air.

Well rsim air does support picture messaging even without jailbreak and all you need to do is to add your mms information for that carrier your are using in that section called cellular date with the only difference is that without jailbreak you will not be able to add the 3g patch from the isam source and force the 3g in iroostool but you will get only 2g but even though with the 2g you still be able to send picture messaging even if the speed is slow and I have done hundred and hundred of those so in my opinion rsim air is the champion for iphone 4s.

lus4 · 04-01-2014, 06:36

i don't need mms.
calling, in/out sms and 2g internet is enough.
Can r-sim air do this? I have r-sim air and 'heicard ios 7'. Will it work for me?

I need to retest MMS/carrier bundle switching with R-SIM Air tomorrow on iOS 7.0-7.0.6 with 128K SIM. You will get 3G with R-SIM Air and 128K SIM without jailbreak if iPhone says Sprint, Verizon, or Extended 1x/3G at the top prior to using iRose. The mistake is that people buy clean ESN iPhones that have been reset and don't have valid Sprint/Verizon activation tickets, so you must jailbreak to get 3G & SMS working on those iPhones if you're using 128K SIMs. In the US, most SIMS are 64K LTE that don't support this type of iPhone 4S without jailbreak.

So can anyone make step-by-step manual for unlocking 4s cdma on 7.1?
Or give me link where I can find it.

Thanks.

You have a 64K 2G SIM. You can use GPP or Gevey from iOS 6 and still get SMS/2G with iRose tool from unlockpro.ru/nano4g on any iOS including 7.1.

I have been fighting with this rsim for a few days now, I could really use some help! Ive been poking around in here and haven't seen anything like my problem so here it goes...

I succesfully got the phone to show "TFW 16.0" Instead of the Verizon 15.0 it was showing before.... but now the phone number is listed as unknown and is forever searching. Any input is greatly appreciated! Ready to smash this phone if it doesnt work soon -__-
