Sprint iPhone 4S, 5, 5C, and 5S Activation Fix Internet & SMS (US) on iOS 8.0 & 7 - GSM-Forum

SIMTester · 09-22-2014, 18:18

I can help you fix your SMS and internet on iPhone 4S, 5, 5C, & 5S Sprint. This is a paid service, but you can try it for free during this first week. Please note that you have to add country prefix when sending SMS, and this won't work in most countries that don't follow the 10-digit phone number format that the US follows. This is mainly to fix the internet.

Why is it paid? because I get charged $.50 per SMS that you send to test to see if it works plus a Sprint account monthly fee.

If everything works, you can send me $20 by PayPal. Note that 3G internet only works if you have a 64K SIM or a 2G/3G SIM if you're in the USA(basically a SIM that cannot support LTE on factory unlocked models).

Because I only have two accounts, this will be a first come-first served basis. I'll give you an hour from the time I message you back to get it working(it should take about 5 minutes though).

Main Condition: iPhone 4S, 5, 5C, & 5S MEID must be clean for activation from Sprint by checking ESN / IMEI / MEID Check (Free) > Swappa or if Settings, Phone, My Number shows a phone number when R-SIM + SIM is inside, you just have to use iRose patch without my help.

After you verify SMS out/in and Edge or 3G internet is working, you can PayPal me $20. Remember that you must add country prefix when sending SMS in many cases although I need to deactivate your iPhone 5 before you even attempt SMS(but after your iPhone says, "iPhone is Activated." Please PM me as soon as your iPhone says, "iPhone is Activated."

If not enough people are paying me after getting their iPhones activated, I'll make it prepaid. It won't work on Bad ESN iPhones unless you already see a US phone number in Settings, Phone, My Number.

This may not work successfully on Sprint 5C/5S because the Mini 2/Air 2/Heicard/AIO SIM usually does the activation automatically by switching the Sprint bundle to Carrier (Unknown.bundle). It probably won't do much if you are already jailbroken and have modified the bundles with iFile. I'm also concerned that the iPhone loses the activation tickets sometimes with the RSIM 5C/5S unlock, but that's why this first week will be for testing. iOS 8.0 may not work on many SIMs as well.

This also works on iPhone 4S Sprint & Verizon too if you need SMS out(in US only) and internet fixed although this is only affected by using 128K SIM. 64K SIM fixes activation automatically with iRose. New iRose link is at GEVEYBR 4g nano sim

I Am interested! Can you please PM me so i can send you the IMEI? Clean SPRINT brand new iPhone 5 not added to any account, shows NO SERVICE all the time, sms and calls works with RSIM 9 but sometimes it does not show missed calls or people cant reach me. Phone shows no service all the time, but i wanted to show signal and missed calls. Can you help me?

SIMTester · 09-23-2014, 19:27

What carrier are you using with the Sprint iPhone 5?

Can you send SMS out?

You can post the MEID here if you don't mind that others see it or PM it to me.

De__Etroit · 09-23-2014, 19:50

SMS out/in working, IMEI is in PM

De__Etroit · 09-23-2014, 19:51

And i am using old 64k O2 Czech Republic sim.

SIMTester · 09-24-2014, 23:33

Please send MEID again.

De__Etroit · 09-25-2014, 14:32

Check your PM bro, MEID is in your messages

SIMTester · 09-29-2014, 08:43

I'm pretty sure yours is active now. Follow this guide:

Please insert SIM by itself, restart iPhone, wait for activation screen, insert SIM & unlock chip, wait for activation successful message or restart iPhone again. Then run iRose from unlockpro.ru/4g and Force 2G/3G.

De__Etroit · 10-01-2014, 13:25

OK, i will try this, then the full restore. We will see, and i will let you and others know. Thanks.

SIMTester · 10-01-2014, 23:20

I wouldn't full restore. You don't want to get rid of iOS 7 as not to lose the ability of outgoing SMS.

SIMTester · 10-14-2014, 16:55

Question: I have this sprint 4s: [IMEI removed] and sms out and 3g doesn't work with irose tool installed. Problem is that evasi0n jailbreak is no longer working and phone is stuck at 7.0.2 iOS. If i update to 8 it won't help anyway. Do you have any solution for this without jailbreak? Please help, thanks

Are you in USA or another country? I can post a guide to fix evasi0n, but the problem is 7.0.2 was hardly ever supported by evasi0n due to OTA updating. If you OTA updated to 7.0.2, evasi0n will crash at modifying rootfs. If you're in the USA, SMS out and 3G is an easy fix because your IMEI(MEID) is clean.

answer to my PM im wating to get good news about my iphone hope it unlocks

SIMTester · 10-19-2014, 06:27

I can only submit IMEIs for processing after I receive the payments. I would only do otherwise for customers with good payment histories.
