i got my iphone 4 out of storage to sell it off.
so ive been testing it out to make sure everything works.
one thing ive noticed which is really weird and extremely confusing is that when i put a different sim (from a different carrier) into the phone it doesn't work. it says no service.
but when i reset the phone with that same sim inside and go through the set up it activates fine and the sim is now working.
so to give you an example:
- i setup the phone fresh using a EE sim it activates and the sim is working (calls etc,)
- when i take the EE sim out and insert a Vodafone sim it doesn't work gives me No Service (even after i restart the phone, reset network settings or reset all settings)
- but when i reset all content and settings and go through the set up with the Vodafone sim inside, it activates and works fine.
- now if i remove the Vodafone sim and put in the EE sim. the EE sim does not work, neither does any other carrier sim only vodafone.
- but if i put in any other carrier sim and reset and activate again the sim inside will work but not any other.
I'm so confused why this is happening. could someone hep me out with this or explain why this is happening.
Thank you, any help is appreciated
P.S. i have done a clean DFU reset did not fix the problem.
