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.
