SAM unlock messed up my Verizon iPhone

[dault2]

So I tried to use the SAM unlock to use a t-mobile sim and it wouldn't recognize the sim after plugging it into itunes many time so I decided to give up and put my Verizon sim back in.

When I put my Verizon sim back in it activates I can send texts but I cant make or receive phone calls. It says something like "currently unable to authenticate your phone" can anyone help? I need my phone back!!!

Thanks!

Did you disable SAM?

Call Verizon and ask for a reset from their end, or just restore

Yes I have tried disabling sam, uninstaling it, deleting the lockdownd folder. I think that I may have messed up the sim some how in the settings but everything looks normal... I dont want to restore because I'll lose my jailbreak

Deactivate the phone and the try activating it without any sim. My understanding is that CDMA 4S' don't need SIMs to activate on their native carriers.

call verizon they can reset the phones parameters on their end

Ok I called Verizon and they were able to fix my calling. 3g still isn't working and they told me just to do a restore.

3G is back!

Update #2: I restored my phone and that didn't help. Called Verizon again and the rep I talked to restarted my line or something? If your having the same problem just ask them to reset your line! you probably wont have to restore

Thanks again for all the help

Wow what a pain. So did you have a 4 or a 4 S? I know the 4 S Sprint phone has a sim in it, it must just handle data as you can remove it and still make a call.
