I unlocked my iphone yesterday using ibrickr. All of the features work, youtube, sms, internet, mail, and i can make calls. But for some reason I cannot receive them. When someone tries to call my phone is goes straight to voicemail? Anyone else have this problem? What do i do? Tmobile is my carrier.
Got a tip for us?

I know if you're browsing the web over edge calls usually go to voicemail.
Could that be your problem?

Do you use a case with a magnetic flap or anything for your iphone? If so, that may be the cause... When I was using such a case, I would never be able to receive calls because it would ruin the signal but as soon as I would take it out, it would have a signal and I can make calls again... Also an error message would pop up: "Repair Needed - iPhone cannot make or receive calls...". Stop using the case and be sure to let me know what happens!
If you were in my shoes, you'd be rejoicing! 
(gets another call from someone wanting me to fix their Vista - told them to get a Mac...)

I have been using a case with magnets in it for about 2 months and have had no problem whatsoever. Is this a widley publized problem because I have never heard of it before.
This worked for me...
If you have your sim card installed and after the phone is unlocked, go to settings; phone; call forwarding. Enter your cell number as the call forwarding number. Click back to the previous screen and it will prompt you that it could not save call forwarding setting. Click dismiss. I also turned on the TTY setting and it now receives calls fine.

Hi, I have the same problem, after unlocking my iphone in China. I am in Japan and use Softbank card. However, I cant receive calls even thought i can make calls.
i followed the same steps and i was able to receive one call. after that I was not able to receive call and all calls go to the voicemail. I redo everything but it is still the same. Any suggestion?

I have iPhone 1G unlocked and jailbreak to v3.01. it used to work fine, but now i cant receive phone calls or texts. I thought it was a Vodafone provider issue, but it is not since the sim cards works with other phone. I can make calls, send texts, emails, the rest works fine.... the only problem is when someone calls me it goes straigh to the voice mail. it works on and off. I did what you suggested here, it did not work. Any other suggestion please. Thx!
