"No Service" - R-Sim air, 4s, iOS7 - GSM-Forum

Stonker99 · 01-29-2014, 13:00

Hi
I received my R-Sim air yesterday and followed the instructions.
My iPhone was locked to Vodafone UK, I want to unlock it to use it on Giffgaff (O2).
I eventually managed to get the O2-UK logo to show, but it didn't have any signal. After a while it showed "No service".
Now the phone shows this no matter what SIM card I put in it, Giffgaff, Vodafone, with and without the R-Sim.

I've tried resetting the iPhone to DFU etc.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks

If the phone is blacklisted then it wont work on UK NEVER. Only elsewhere in the world with rsim or after being officially unlocked.. If you are not the first owner of this iphone check this with checkmend report.

What makes you think it would be blacklisted, just because it says no service?

Because thats they way the "blacklisting" works as far I know. I am not in UK so I am not 100% sure , maybe someone else could help us here. But I know that when a phone gets barred it wont work on the carriers of the country it gets barred. In some countries there is no blacklist database at all...
