No Service after unlock?

Hi,
I asked my current provider Vodafone to unlock my iPhone 4, which they did.
Recently I tried putting a T-Mobile sim card in it, to test it, but it just came up with No Service instead of finding a signal.
The iphone is fully up to date etc, so what else can I try?
Thanks a lot
Chris

Hi,
The T-Mobile sim is definitely working, as it is in my 4S at the moment, but won't work in the unlocked 4.
BUT, when I tried the T-Mobile sim, I didn't connect it to iTunes at all.......just tried the sim, it didn't work so took it back out! I think you may have solved the issue then.
As I will be putting my girlfriends micro sim in the unlocked iphone 4, will it work OK with a new itunes account etc, as she doesn't have one yet....to complete the unlock, and get the congratulations message?
Thanks

  • IPhone 5 says "No Service" after unlock

    Hello,
    I recently bought a secondhand iPhone 5 from my girlfriend which was locked to the Vodafone UK network. I'm currently with Virgin Mobile UK so I looked into getting the iPhone unlocked to use with my current SIM.
    I came across a seller on eBay who unlocks iPhones and has very good reviews, so I purchased an unlock request through them. Yesterday morning I received a message from the seller informing me that the iPhone was ready to be unlocked and gave me instructions on how to complete the process.
    When I connected the iPhone to iTunes, I was greeted with the "Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked" message. However, when it comes to inserting a SIM from a different network, it just says "No Service" in the top left of the screen.
    I've seen quite a number of threads about this issue and I've tried several different methods of resolving it. I have tried:
    Trying multiple SIM cards (it will work with the Vodafone SIM I have but not with ones for other networks)
    Toggling Airplane Mode on/off
    Resetting the network settings
    Erased all content and settings
    Restored the iPhone via iTunes (iTunes is up-to-date)
    I'm quite stuck on what to do now. I've contacted the seller who's assured me that the phone is unlocked and send me a "GSX Report" (whatever that is). Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks

    Just wanted to give an update on this for those who may be experiencing the same problem.
    I spoke to someone from Apple a few days ago who tried to help me resolve this. They confirmed that the phone was unlocked. After going through some of the fixes I've tried already, they suggested it may be a problem with the SIM cards I was using and recommended getting a brand new one to try.
    I got my new nano SIM through from Virgin Mobile yesterday, transferred my number and contract across and now it's all working perfectly.
    I'm not really sure why people on here were so reluctant to give me advice on what to do. When I told Apple that I got the iPhone unlocked through an eBay retailer, they didn't question it at all. They said nothing about it being hacked or that I should have gone through the carrier, and they assured me that the phone was completely unlocked.
    Oh well. I'm glad it's working now. Thanks Apple!

  • HT201415 How to Fix no service after unlocking iphone 4 online, by giving imei number?

    I unlocked my iphone. 4 from at &t. I gave my imei number and was unlocked. When i put in a smart micro sim (philippine carrier) it says
    No service. I took out the sim card and put it on, restored, updated my ois, turned off and on, but still says no service. Help please?

    Then your friend hacked the iPhone and that is why you get no service message.
    You have also at that moment void any support from this and other Apple sites.
    Your iPhone is locked to AT&T and only AT&T can officially unlock, no one else can especialy your friend.
    Good luck.

  • When does Apple will take unlocking for Mexico (Telcel) iPhones seriously? Because That carrier give thousands of evasive responses to people that ask for an unlocking service after their contracts are done...

    When does Apple will take unlocking for Mexico (Telcel) iPhones seriously? Because That carrier give thousands of evasive responses to people that ask for an unlocking service after their contracts are done...

    This is the best invention to make people buy new devices. Why am I asking this to Apple???? Maybe I´m wrong and I have to ask to Microsoft or maybe Google? There is a law that obligates all carrier companies to unlock those devices that are off contract. But even with this, this company denies to do it. They suppor their idea in the fact that that law was published on Oct´12, so brilliantly they have solved to unluck only those devices bought after that date..... I have all those evidences but all are in spanish.....

  • HT201328 after unlocking from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this . Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

    after unlocking over the phone from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this .
    Itunes displays a message saying "there is no SIM installed in the phone you're trying to activate" even if there is the same SIM that was working minutes before.
    The SIM works on a different phone I tested it.
    Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

    “Could Not Activate EDGE” error message Update ...
    Well it’s going on day 6 and still sporadic to no EDGE on my iPhone. At one time, it was thought to be a defective iPhone – since my partner’s iPhone works just fine.
    After over three hours on the land line with AT&T and Apple, I was sent to the local Apple store for a replacement. Of course, as soon as I walked into the Apple store my iPhone worked just fine. ;-( The local store replaced my iPhone and suggested I go home and activate the phone as a NEW iPhone, that way if there was a bug in my data it would not carry over to the new phone. Did that and well… still sporadic to no EDGE. By the way, I have the Big White “E” to the right of the 5 bars and AT&T .
    AT&T said last week they has “Software” issues in my area, but the CSR I talked to did not know what the issues were or if they were the cause of my problems. He did say they would call me back today to see how my iPhone was doing, but alas, no call back.
    When I’m next to my partner, trying to access the same feature, his iPhone is just so fast. Mine hangs up, draws out and finally I get the error message, “Could Not Activate EDGE”. I am updated to version “1.1.4(4A102)”. New (refurbished) iPhone direct from Apple.
    I remember reading a while back about some problems others had when they upgraded to from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. I never had those problems, but it sure looks like they may have started. Does anyone remember what the problems with 1.1.4 were, what was done if anything to correct them, and best of all any suggestions?
    By the way, this is Seattle, not some small – out of the way place where connection and signal strength is expected to be second rate. Also, I had full function of my iPhone from the day I bought it in June 2007, all the way up to Thursday March 20, at 2120.
    Thanks

  • Help:Invoke web service after receiving a user task response

    Hi, All:
    We encountered a problem while developing user task. The detail is as follows:
    We need to invoke a web service after a user task's response, that is to say, the web service needs some data from the response of the user task.
    Take the loan flow tuturial as a example, what we need to do is to invoke a web service after the BPEL process get the start loan APR. the web service needs the APR for its input message. how can I handle this situation?
    Thank you very much for your help!

    Thanks for your immediate response Jan Vervecken.
    I have created the Data Control from web Service proxy and I am able to recieve the output from the web Service.
    But, Currently I am invoking the webservice process method by a command button which populates my SelectOneChoice.
    My requirement is to invoke the web service 'process' method by value change event in the SelectOnechoice control.
    So, Can you pls. let me know how do I bind the web Service method 'process' to value change event of SelectOnechoice control?
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Iphone 4 without service after IOS 5.1

    I am without service after IOS 5.1.  Since the upgrade, my phone can't make or receive any call. I bought it from my mobile operator (Claro Brasil) itself. The odd thing is that when I use the SIM of my brother (from another provider - TIM) the phone works perfectly. Please, can someone give me any advice. I called to Claro and they said everything is fine with my network and that they will open a procedure to see what can be done. I think they don't know what is happening and I can't wait much longer.
    Thank you in advance.

    Yes, I tried to restore it as new. Actually, 2 times, with and without backup. Today I will try to get a new SIM. Hopefully, that will solve my problem, but I am a bit skeptical as my SIM was working ok before the update.
    Thank you very much for your help.

  • Issue while playing the content of Azure Media Services after deleting the channel.

    Hi,
    We are having the issue while playing the content of Azure Media Services after deleting the channel.
    Please find detail scenarios below:
    We have done live streaming of an event using Azure Media Services, event was around 5-6 hrs. After completion of event channel was deleted, when we checked content data
    it was only 1hr. Content has only last 1 hr. recording, we are unable to get full recoding.
    We divided event into two parts to avoid above issue. After completion of 1st part which was of 2 hrs., we stopped the streaming and deleted the channel. New channel was
    created and streaming was started for 2<sup>nd</sup> part, after completion of event channel was deleted. Now we are unable to play the content data for 1st part but able to play the 2nd part of event through content publish URL.
    We have done streaming of 3 hrs. event on 18th April with same process and full recoding was available. 
    Can you let me know what might be the issue?
