Can anyone confirm if they can get imessage activated with phone number on wind mobile since we now have root access? I have tried to edit activation phone number in unknown carrier bundle from +44... to +01144 but no go. I believe the digital sign is broken if a carrier bundle is edited. From research commcenter patch is required to sign the custome carrier bundles if edited. Any one else give it a try?
 
update*
when i edit phone number in unknown carrier bundle. I loose cellular network settings menu where i input apn settings for wind mobile data. Trying to get imessage activated might be a challange.:eek:

I am sure plenty people here in Canada on Wind Mobile would be happy if imessage register with phone number.
 
If ask wind mobile why imessage wont activate with phone number they blame apple, ask apple they blame wind mobile.
 
I am glad to see someone else is interested in this as well. This is all that is holding me back from moving to Wind.
 
I guess we have to wait for commcenter patch to work with ios 7 so it can bypass sign checks for custom carrier bundles.
 
Update:

By installing tetherme editing carrier bundle is now possible, need to figure out which phone number imessage will register with
When using unofficial carrier currently trying +01144... And 49988
