Question,

Recently I broke free of Sprint (best decision ever) and use a GPP sim to override the Sprint code and have my iPhone 4s accept a regular SIM in the US. I am currently on Net10.

My question is, do I have to hold off on updating to iOS 7? Get another GPP sim? Anyone remembers how it was from 5 to 6?
 
GPP sim and IOS 7

I am currently updating my iphone 4s to ios 7. I use the GPP sim to unlock my iphone to Tmobile. Ill let you know afterwards if the GPP sim will continue to work.


Update: after about an hour of trying and trying to reflash the gpp sim once more i still cant get service. I have tried everything and still nothing. hopefully they push an update for the gpp sim to unlock ios 7

I can confirm it works. I got my phone to get service with it no problem as soon as update finished it worked. Try going to settings phone sim lock and enter 0000 and reboot and then turn if it still says no service turn airplane mode on then off. Hope this works for you!

can you tell me step by step how you got it to work. I would rather be on ios 7 instead of ios 6 just because most of the tweaks for ios 6 have been incorporated into ios 7. thanks

Iphone 4s GPP SIM 6.1.3 StraightTalk

Switched my verizon iphone 4s to StraightTalk using the GPP sim on IOS 6.1.3 at the end of August.. I am wanting to update to IOS 7. In doing research I am reading that others have been able to update to IOS 7 using existing GPP by either installing a patch or by resetting the SIM PIN.. Wanted to verify that they were using the GPP 6.1.3 when they updated to IOS 7 before I update. Thank you for your help!!
 
The GPP sim won't work with the iOS 7GM/Public Release/7.0.1/7.0.2.
It's only work with iOS 7 Beta 1/2/3 & 4 I believe, but those will soon expire, or already have, apple fix the exploit used for the GPP sim, so there for you have no choice to updates to iOS 7 GPP user if your on the beta, because Apple is no longer signing any iOS 6.xx software to downgrade, but there's hope, if & when there's a jailbreak for iOS 7, the GPP will live again.
