Hi!

Surprise, that how my face was when I inserted my Argentinian (Movistar) micro simcard (cutted by myself and turned into nanosim) into my Off-Contract Full Price AT&T iPhone 5 and it got signal bars.

Can anybody try to see if I am not the only one?

No big suprise, it was posted hours ago!

It still is all related to how the AT&T / Verizon iPhone 5 units are processed at the POS from the Apple retail store.

It the Apple rep enters your phone number on the checkout screen, it will be locked to the carrier even if you pay the no-commitment price.

Make sure that they do a "Device Only" sale on their POS device.

Also note there are still differences between the AT&T and the Verizon/Sprint units support of LTE.

I have an iPhone 5 factory unlocked from AT&T, and it does not work with Movistar in Argentina, I've tried Personal (other carrier) and it works just fine, with my company (Movistar), the phone can read the sim card but there is no way I can make calls. Any suggestion?

Kind regards

Is Movistar gsm? Or CDMA?
