Yeah the SIM is activated. The guy at T-Mobile scanned it and everything. I see the little filled in dots. I connected to my WiFi too. The phone didn't come with a SIM card!
Try plugging it into iTunes and setting it up that way.Yeah the SIM is activated. The guy at T-Mobile scanned it and everything. I see the little filled in dots. I connected to my WiFi too. The phone didn't come with a SIM card!
Is your new iPhone unlocked or is it a T-Mobile iPhone 5S?Yeah the SIM is activated. The guy at T-Mobile scanned it and everything. I see the little filled in dots. I connected to my WiFi too. The phone didn't come with a SIM card!
I just did it right now and I got this message,
Unlocked is the same thing as SIM free. Unless you were referring to a carrier phone bought at full price.
That's why I liked the old vBulletin forums where two posts in a row from the same user would merge into a single post automatically.Sorry, I didn't read the post that was quoted first.
To my knowledge, unlocked and Sim Free are not totally equal. There have been reports of Verizon not activating a carrier unlocked iPhone, while they have activated a Sim Free model. I realize though that T-Mobile will activate other carrier unlocked devices on their network.
Called Apple support and was told to do a system restore. The screen on the phone was on iTunes for awhile until it disappeared and the Hello screen popped up again and the activation error was still there. The software update isn't done yet so we'll see! I'm starting to become nervous now, ah.
