iPhone 5S locked to AT&T - R-Sim 9 Pro - GSM-Forum

Ericg625 · 01-31-2014, 08:20

Hi I have an iPhone 5s locked to AT&T.
I have successfully managed to unlock my phone with R-SIM 9 Pro with T-Mobile sim.
Call = OK
SMS = OK
2G = OK

I am trying to get 3G/4G/LTE if that's possible. I have what I am assuming at this point, a 128k nano sim, I'm wondering what are my next steps. Irose tool only allows me to force 2G. I've read in other posts that a 64k sim is required for any luck with 3G, but that was for people with Sprint issues, would it apply for AT&T as well?

I'd appreciate a response to my thread,
Thank you for your time and understanding

I think it will apply for any carrier the story with 64k sim.

You need to buy a 39.01a T-Mobile SIM on eBay and cut it down. It's gonna be a tight fit inside the iPhone 5S with the R-SIM, but that's what you have to use.

Yes if the sim card is too thick then just take a a boxcutter and scrape it on the opposite side of the gold ship carefully and make it thinner in a different way you will ruin your rsim and your motherboard so remember never force things into the iphone.

Thank you for the response,
Will purchasing that specific type of T-Mobile sim help enable 4G/LTE service for me? Also will that require me to use the same iR0se tool to enable the patch?
Thank you for your time

Yes after you get your edge just hit 3g, also 64k comes in mico and nano if I am not mistaked just look on ebay but if not then use the cutterbox trick on the general size sim after you resize it down to the nano size.
Good Luck.

Ericg625 · 01-31-2014, 21:18

Ok thank you. I found it on eBay, does it matter whether it's regular size or micro? There are options for one or the other, I just want to make sure I purchase the correct card. Then I will resize it to nano.
Thanks again.

Make sure it says 64k and then look for the size but if you can combine both then it would be much better so let say if they have it in a micro and general size then prefer the micro since the micro will be thinner than the general size which is the old big size and if you got to choose among micro and nano being both 64k then go for the nano.
Good Luck

They should run on ebay between $5- $10.

Ericg625 · 01-31-2014, 23:59

Am I allowed to post links on here? I just want to make sure I purchased the correct one. It says 39.01a and it's already cut for $5.
Thanks

SIMTester · 02-01-2014, 01:48

That's the one you want then. It should have the picture of the Korean girl and black guy on the front.

futur · 02-01-2014, 04:13

Also sometime it says right on the title 64k so no mistake about it in the case they send you a different one.

SIMTester · 02-01-2014, 08:12

64K doesn't matter. I have SIMS that say 64K(straighttalk and some Simple Mobile) that don't get 3G. It has to be a specific SIM card like 39.01a.
