IPhone 5 unlocked but says no service,, tmobile nano sim

I got my iPhone unlocked off ebay and gave the guy my imei number. So after 12-24 hours I call apple and check if my iPhone five is unlocked they said yes. Now I got a tmobile nano sim and put it in my iPhone 5, then I restored it and iTunes said congratulation your iPhone has been unlocked. But for some reason on the top it's saying no service. I asked the tmobile guy at the store to double check if it was activated he said it was, he told me to call customer service I call them and they said there's nothing wrong with the sim its perfectly active. I tried restoring and setting it up again but still the same problem. I even asked AT&T and they said it is unlocked, and said tmobile are the ones who have to help me out and there's nothing they can do.I can't think of any solutions right now, so what's the problem??

So, you mean that My Iphone is fine, it's Tmobile network in The USA that doesn't work with Tmobile. There are 1000's of peolple using tmobile with an Iphone and they don't have problems.. at least that what they say...(customers and Tmobile representatives) In the last 2 days,  my iphone is picking up reception worse than ever.. I might change locations for a few blocks, It will pick up signal and then It will fade away in amatter of seconds.. and so on and on.. So, you mean I'll have to wait until Tmobile full y supports Iphone in order to Use it with Tmobile? Thanks for your help in advance.

    I have an iPhone 5 unlocked but cannot get a payg nano sim for Vodafone uk. Any suggestions ?

    If Vodafone does not provide a nano-SIM card, there are no suggestions. Not only is the nano-SIM card smaller, it is also thinner, so cutting a micro-SIM card down to size wouldn't be enough to fit.

  • Brand new iPhone 5c upgrade says 'no service' when nano sim is inserted.

    Hi,
    My brother's HTC contract ran out so he got an iPhone 5C last night.  He didn't change networks or change his number and the salesman said that the new sim card he gave him would be ready to go when he put it in the phone with the same number etc.  When he got it home he put the nano sim into the new phone but it just says 'no service' at the top left of the screen.  Has anyone else encountered this?
    He's tried restarting the phone and enabling/disabling aeroplane mode as other forums suggested.

    the salesman said that the new sim card he gave him would be ready to go when he put it in the phone with the same number etc.
    I would suggest that  just didn't happen call the Carrier customer support and find out the issue

  • My iphone is unlocked, but everytime i put in a sim, the network name comes up with no signal

    I bought an unlocked iphone 4 off my friend and tried a few micro sims from different networks and all the networks names come up, but, they all have no bars for signal. Its very frustrating.
    Please Help

    same problem here!
    I have read and spent days for googling it, and there are a lot of people with this problem.
    This is more likely to happen if your device is Factory Unlocked.
    And it is a pity that i HAVEN'T FOUND ANY SOLUTIONS for this
    Haven't met or read anyone with this solved.
    mine is originally UK vodafone. it has been factory unlocked and i have gone abroad, restored, and no signal bars,but carrier name appears. But with another foreign SIM card, itHAS GOT signal!! Only with the one i need, is not working.
    I hope with a firmware update coming, this will be fixed.
    I could link dozens of unanswered questions with the same s**t.
    I also noticed, that this problem occured recently ... around November 2011. when iS 5.0 or 5.0.1 came out.

  • Using iPhone 5 unlock but iOS 7 cant support giffgaff sim

    Good customer service entails that they contact the apple id linked to the device and confirm if it was sold or stolen and help the new owner..
    Sorry, but I disagree.  It is not the OEM's responsibility to check nor confirm any such thing.  it is up to the seller and the buyer, in a private party personal transaction, to ensure that both are satisfied with the terms and conditions of the sale and the item.
    You buy a used personal item as is from someone, and it is just that, as is.  The responsibility is solely on the two parties making the exchange to ensure that both have gotten what they wanted out of the deal.
    No company is going to get involved in any such private party sales or exchanges of items - in the USA at least, it would be a legal minefield for them, if nothing else.  Private/personal property sales are just that, private and personal.

  • Iphone 5 says no service even if sim installed or not installed please help

    My iphone 5 running ios 8.1 says no service even if sim is installed or not installed. normally iphones say no sim when sim tray is out or empty but it says no service.I ve tried to reset network settings put on airplane mode but still the problem persists please help

    In order until the problem is resolved:
    Remove the current sim, clean the contacts, re-install the sim.
    Take the iPhone to your wireless provider to get a new sim installed.
    Take the iPhone to a physical Apple store for evaluation. Make a Genius
    Bar appointment beforehand to avoid delay.

  • Using iPad mini with tmobile nano sim, but no data

    I just bought an iPad mini AT&T 4g LTE to use with my tmobile nano sim.  I put the SIM card in and the tmobile network is registered and I see 3G.  I try to use the Internet but I get no data.  It is currently on iPod 6.1.3 and the carrier is 14.0.  Is there a way to upgrade the carrier to 14.1, will that help out.  Also, is there proper apn settings I can use to use the data on my tmobile data plan?  It doesn't make sense to get tmobile and 3G for the network and not being able to download data, not even edge speeds.

    You will need to contact T-Mobile to get answers to your questions.
