R-sim mini+ and t-mobile us. Cant get 3g.. Pls Help!! - GSM-Forum

Hello.
I have a locked T-mobile Us iphone 5c, and a R-sim Mini+.
I am trying to unlock it to use Vodafone Pt network.
I can get it to unlock and get the Vodafone signal and i get 2G internet(E sign, or GPRS), but cant get it to work on 3G sign.
I tried it with and without jailbreak.
This is what i did.

Inserted R-sim and Vodafone sim card.
Went to sim sim menu and clicked on carrier select. Choose T-mobile Us.
Rebooted.
Went to unlockit."something" and created APN with vodafone carrier
Download the IRosetool
Clicked on force3g.
Rebooted.
With signal, but cant even make a call.
It only work if i select force2g.
I can make calls and go online but the speed is very slow.

I also have a 4s and the internet was way, way faster..

As that didnt work, i restored the iphone and jailbreak it.
Did the same thing but after instaling the APN i tryied to something diferent.
Instaled repo isamsim
and tried either the I:CMDA patch, or the A:r-sim, and the L:5.5s.5c in diferent combinations as i was not sure what i should do or install.
After that went on to instal irosetool and tried force3g with the same results.

Can anyone help me connect th 3g on my phone?
Thank you in advance..

Do you know what kind of sim it is? 128k sims wont work for 3g, so that might be the issue. You could also try H from the isamsim repo.

I dont know what type of sim i have.
It is a brand new one, as i had a 4s before, and the sim was mini. I went to the vodafone shop and they gave me a new one nano size..
How can i know if it is 128k or not?
I tried to install the H from the isamsim, but without luck.
I previously uninstalled the A and installed the H, installed the irosetool, but it is still all the same.. Any more ideas??
Thank you

You absolutely MUST buy a regular SIM card and cut it down to nano size to even have any hope of 3G service. 3G is impossible with stock nano SIM. Very old SIM cards(unactivated) work the best to get 3G with R-SIM. Use a nano SIM cutter and hope it works.

Bought a new sim. An old micro-sim format, and cut it down to nano-sim.
