Bad ESN TMOB US - GSM-Forum

bluewhile · 01-26-2014, 19:33

Hi there,

how about devices with Bad ESN - can they be unlocked with R-SIM for GSM usage? In case this depends on device (I am aware of Sprint problems): It is a 5S for TMOB US.

nobody has any idea?

R-sim will not unlock bad esn with T-Mobile so don't waste your money.

I am not sure if you understood me correctly: The device is a TMOUS but I don't need TMOUS I want to use another carrier.

Absolutely False. You actually can use RSIM 9 pro on Blacklisted T-mobile to use on AT&T network such as H2O or straight talk. ONly problem is that it will only get you 2G since I can't find any 64k SIMS... I tested this and it works.

Will 3G work with other RSim models or xsim - also wasn't there somewhere a cydia fix for that? I am not sure what type of SIMs we have in Germany.

That is not true since tmobile and att has signed the agreement about sharing the blacklisted info so if one of them blocks it then it will not work on the other and based on that it will not work in the usa but it will work overseas so please stop spreading wrong information among this community if you are not positive.

You are only reading posts, I have literally typed in the IMEI on swappa.com/ESN with bad ESN Tmobile and unlocked it to straight talk. I will show proof when I run into the same case, but for me, it worked 3/3 tries

futur · 01-29-2014, 04:51

impossible since straight talk runs on the same network of att and att share their information with tmobile so must have something incorrect or maybe in your dream so once again stop misleading this community if you are not sure about something, me rerading posts only hhhhhhh .

Blocked phone for nonpayment is different from blacklisted for being lost/stolen.

futur · 01-29-2014, 17:47

No matter what if it's a tmobile blocked then it will not work using rsim in the usa I have tried it already.

oktav18 · 01-29-2014, 22:01

But it will work overseas, right ?

futur · 01-29-2014, 22:40

Yes it will work overseas.
