Legal French unlocked iphone not working correctly

I recently purchased an iphone in France and paid the €100 to have it unlocked to use in Belgium - after successfully unlocking the phone via iTunes I am having problems using the phone and sms function, some of the issues include:
I can make out going calls through the address book but cannot end the call as all the call controls are gone
The only way to end the call is to turn the phone of completely
The phone keypad crashes every time I push one of the digits
Can not answer incoming calls from Belgium but can from the UK
I have read on some blogs that this is due to the iPhone being country specific and on others that a legally unlocked phone is fully unlocked and that many of the phone-related apps only work correctly in countries that Apple added support for in 1.1.2 and this is a bug that will be fixed in firmware 1.1.3.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the tip - it has helped with making phone calls but the other problems are still there - I have contacted apple and they don't know whats going on. I will have to take it up with Orange as this is a regional problem.
Thanks for you help

  • ICal alarms on my iPhone not working correctly?

    With my iPhone turned ON, any alerts that are set for any of my calendars show up in the correct way. If my iPhone is turned OFF when an alert was due to sound, with the previous software version 2.2.1, when I turned my iPhone ON it would still alert me, but since I've updated to version 3.0, this doesn't happen anymore? I'm sure it should do, I've always received alerts from my iCal on my iMac when I switch it on in the morning for any alerts that should have sounded whilst my computer was off. Has anyone else noticed this or have, is it a glitch or have I just been unlucky when I updated? If that's the case, any ideas how to resolve the problem, other than a full restore!!

    Every since my wife and I upgraded both of our iPhones with the iPhone 3.0 software, calendar alerts do not work. They do not work with "all day" events. They do work if you put a specific time. The alerts were working before the 3.0 upgrade.

  • Unlocked iphone not working with tmobile

    I bought an iphone 4 off craigslist, which they said was unlocked.  When I came home put the Tmobile sim card in it goes to no serivce.  I put the same sim card in another unlocked iphone and it works.  I called ATT and they said the phone i just bought is unlocked.  I contacted Tmobile and they said the same thing but everything they told me to do didnt help, still no service.  Called Apple they say its unlocked also.  The phone itself is in near perfect condition, but is out of warranty by a couple of months.  Anyone have any ideas?
    I have tried reseting the network settings and doing a restore/update with itunes right now.
    Thanks in advance.

    Go into a T-Mobile Store and have them try other microSIMs and see if one works. If you know anyone who has an AT&T smartphone try theirs in your iPhone.
    If you called Apple and they said it was unlocked it is indeed so. And upgrading to 6.1 would indeed not have succeeded if there was a hack present.

  • Factory unlocked iPhone not working

    i bought a factory unlocked iphone 4 8gb from walmart in new jersey. I put an at&t sim and it worked. But now that i am back to my country (Pakistan) it isnt working and it is locked. I paid over $500 for a factory unlocked phone. Kindly help!

    Hi Liju,
    There is nothing to worry at all. a FU iPhone works with any carrier including Airtel and Vodafone in any city of India. based on my experience that has been explained earlier in this thread, it is better to use a New SIM.
    I prepared the micro sim on my own by cutting the sim with a cutter. It is quite a simple process. Just browse through web, you get lot of info on that. As far as activation process is concerned, it is **** simple. Insert micro SIM into phone. Connect it to iTunes and register it. That's it. Your phone gets activated within few seconds.
    Mail me at girishramarao<at>gmail<dot>com for any more questions

  • Unlocked iPhone not working with Vodafone

    Hi all,
    I have an awkward problem. A couple of months ago I bought an unlocked iphone in Italy because I was moving to the Netherlands and I knew they didn't sell unlocked iPhones there. In the meantime I successfully used my Italian prepaid SIM card.
    Now I bought a Vodafone NL SIM card. The first time I tried to use it, I got a No Service message on my iPhone but apparently the SIM was working with another cheap phone that I have. Today I went to the Vodafone store where I bought the SIM and they replaced the SIM card twice. Apparently the last SIM card was working, I could call and receive calls, send and receive text messages.
    Unfortunately, I can use the phone just for 10 minutes, then I get a No Service message. I have to reboot my iPhone and then it works again (for 10 minutes).
    Vodafone told me that they did everything they could and the problem depends on my phone (they even support the iPhone, all the settings are right, but still no luck).
    Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Do you think this problem depends on the iPhone?
    I really don't know what to do and I have a 1 year contract (even if it is only 10 € p/m, it is still annoying).
    Thank you!
    Best,
    Marco

  • Find my iPhone not working correctly

    I've used Find My iPhone successfully in the past, most recently about a month or two ago. But last night, I misplaced my iPod Touch 3G in my home. I went to icloud.com, signed on, and wanted to play a sound to locate my Touch, but the device page said my Touch was Offline.  The All Devices page says "No Location Available. None of your devices can be located."
    Eventually I found my Touch the old-fashioned way and was surprised to find that Wi-fi, Location Services, and iCloud services were all on and working properly. I tested syncing Reminders with iCloud to make sure, and it's working perfectly.
    What I tried to get it to work:
    Reset network settings
    Turning off and on Wi-Fi, location services, and iCloud services
    Rebooting device several times
    I have not made any changes to iOS, my icloud.com settings, or any iOS accounts in recent months. No passwords have been changed (and besides, iCloud is otherwise working normally). 
    Anyone have an idea what could be wrong?
    I realize setting up my Touch from scratch is always an option to try but that would take at least an entire day to do. That is only a last resort option that I am avoiding at all costs right now.
    Any suggestions are welcome. I am really stumped and would like to get Find my iPhone working again. It is an essential feature.

    Same problem here.  Reading through the forums but not finding anything other than a bunch of people with the same problem.  I believe I've checked and double-checked all appropriate settings and they are correct (the iOS7 upgrade seems to have turned off location settings, but I turned it back on).  Yet the iPhone 5 with iOS7 stubbornly now shows as "Offline" ... when it is not. 
    C'mon, Apple, what's the fix?

  • IPhone not working correctly

    My iPhone 5 is not sending iMessages consistently (for example,one may go through and the next three will not) and when I open app's they keep closing. I've powered the phone off and on several times now. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    The next user troubleshooting steps are a reset, then restore from backup and finally restore as new device. iMessage success depends on an active connection on both sides of the conversation, both sender and receiver, and any interruption in that connection can render the message as undeliverable. You can also take the time to double tap on the home button and swipe upwards on the thumbnail of the apps to close everything in the task tray, then do the reset, holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo, then release. The phone will reboot. Failure of a send on your part may not have anything to do with your device, but the app closure could be corrected by this reset.

  • Help!! iPhone not working correctly

    So i bought my iPhone and love it!! I immediately went and bought an Otterbox for its protection. Well, yesterday i dropped it into a glass of tea. I immediately took it out, took off the Otterbox cover and dried it off. The phone and all the software is working fine. When i make or receive a call, i cant hear the caller. The ear speaker seems to not be working. The speakers for the ringer are working fine. Any suggestions?

    Thank you for your inquiry. Adding what was stated, the water damage to the iPhone could result in you needing to replace it at full retail if the suggestion provided was not able to assist you. If your iPhone had insurance then you can file a claim to replace the phone. There is a detectable of $169.00 for the 16 megabyte model or $199.00 for the 32 megabyte model. Please use this link to assist you with filing the claim: http://www.phoneclaim.com/verizon

    Thanks for a quick reply because atm I can only use 3G to use internet and it isn't free on my subscription.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jack.

    Hello Jack,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that your Wi-Fi option on an iPhone 4S is greyed out. Great job on troubleshooting, as you have exhausted almost all steps outlined in this article:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    2. Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings
    3. Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    4. If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTunes.
    If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I bought an factory unlocked iphone 3gs at the apple store today and just ordered a sim card activation kit and a 30 dollar minute card for it. the sim will work in the unlocked iphone am i correct?

    i bought an factory unlocked iphone 3gs at the apple store today and just ordered a sim card activation kit and a 30 dollar minute card for it. the sim will work in the unlocked iphone am i correct? and i can use messaging on it right?

    If T-Mobile in the US, while your phone will activate/work, you won't have FaceTime, MMS or 3G. T-Mobile, in the US, is not a supported iPhone carrier, thus all features of the iPhone may not be available. T-Mobile's 3G network, in the US, is not compatible with the iPhone.

    My iPhone was working correctly with FaceTime but now it's not , say (waiting for activiation) what should I do ??  Kindly if you can help!!

    Thanks for your answer...
    My iPhone was connected to a wifi internet when I tried to activate it and when I tried activation by iTunes I was using my laptop with windows 7 which was connected to internet by cable.
    I updated my iPhone to IOS 7 when I was in Egypt and I had no problems with updating it and I can't remember if finding my iPhone option was on or off before updating to IOS 7 and as i understood from searching internet that to use iCloud Finder on web from computer to find my iPhone it should be set up already on my iPhone and I didn't set up iCloud on my iPhone before and my Apple ID wasn't verified for iCloud till today, I verfied it by logging in iCloud from a friend iPad.
    I was considering already the option that my iPhone has been hacked but if this happened so how I would unlock my iPhone and activate it to back to work? who would help me with that? I'm so tired of being without my phone for almost 4 days and I started to consider not having any Apple product anymore... I think that this way to secure the consumer has a lot of conflicts...

  • I have an iPhone 4 on contract and its not working correctly , what should I do ?

    I have an iPhone 4 on contract , I only have this 5 and a half months and the iPhone is not working correctly and i do not have insurance .. What should I do ??

    It sounds like you did not purchase it at the Apple store? That doesn't matter - you can still take it to Apple to troubleshoot it.
    You can also try to troubleshoot it with the help of the folks here - if you want to do that, let me know and I'll ask that your post be moved to the iPhone forum where you're more likely to get knowledgeable answers, ok.

  • Need help iPhone 5 not working correctly

    my iPhone 5 keeps pressing all the keys around the key I want it to press on the keyboard also problems using lock screen numbers have re-started and the phone just reverts to not working correctly
    also when I got this phone I did it from a back up of my old iPhone 4 but not all the songs have fully downloaded (they are there, but cannot play) when I look on iTunes it says I have no songs that arn't on my iPhone that I've bought?
    Should I take my phone back to my carrier which is 3? Or make an appointment at the Genius Bar?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).
    Backups do not contain media, all the media should be in iTunes on your computer.  Simply select the content desired to sync to the device and sync.

  • IPhone 3Gs notes not working correctly

    I use notes app all the time on my iPhone and noticed today that it is not working correctly. When I make a new note it takes forever to save it, meaning the little indicator keeps spinning on top showing the iPhone is working. Then once it is saved if I close it and come back into it to add something more to the note, it saves it for a second and then deletes what I just added. What can I do to fix this? I have a 3Gs software version 4.0.1. Thanks

    I did the reset and it 'appears' to be working. I still need to test it more before I am convinced. The reason I say this is because it still takes an abnormally long time to save a new note. I simply type one word into the notepad and say 'done' and the indicator at the top spins for several minutes. The information is still in the note so maybe its working. I wonder why it takes that long? Is that typical? I dont recall if it was always like that or I just noticed it because the function was not working properly??
