Hey guys I just bought a Gevey Ultra S to unlock my Rogers iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1.1...wish Rogers were nice like AT&T and offered a uncomplicated unlock procedure but thats not the case so I have no choice but to rely on the good ol Gevey SIM. I got it working, everything is nice and smooth as it should be, Even after restart the phone get signal within <1min....
My problem is that I cannot get iMessage and FaceTime to activate.....from my research It shows that the phone is trying to send a text to Rogers local short code 2639(iMessage) and 48899(FaceTime) but because I am in the states it isn't able to. AT&T has their own local short code and others use a International number (where text is sent to activate your iMessage and FaceTime) which starts with +44xxxxxxxxx(Its a UK one so international texting rates apply) but unfortunately I do not have access to the carrier.plist which is the only way I know that you can change/update the info so iMessage/FaceTime activates.....
Anyone else using a Rogers/Telus/Bell iPhone 4S with iOS5.1.1 on a international Carrier/Outside Canada...? (Rogers/Bell/Telus all share the same short codes to activate iMessage/FaceTime so if you are using one of their iPhone's on any canadian carrier it'll work no problem)
I have called ApplenBerry for a solution but the guys them selves didn't know about it.....and are looking into it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
UPDATE MAY 01/2012: I was wondering since the Jailbreak is out for iOS 5.1.1 can I just replace the Carrier.plist, Carrier.pri, info.plist and version.plist from "CarrierLab.bundle" to "Rogers_ca.bundle"? is that ok to do? Can anyone confirm who is running iOS 5.1.1?, I found this info in my Factory Unlocked iPhone 4S so I was wondering if all I have to do is just copy the 4 files and swap them over.....
NOTE: I added TELUS, BELL into the Title as well because those iPhone's are having same issues
Update May 09/2012: I have found a few articles/threads on different forums fixing this issue in slightly different ways, if someone can test out and report back would be great:
