Why will iPhone 4 MC610LL recognize my global SIM while MC319LL will not?

I have 4 Unlocked iPhone 4 - Two MC319LL and one each MC610LL/A and MC609LL all of which will work on either the AT&T or T-Mobile networks.  Both of the MC610LL/A and MC609LL will recognize my SIM Pin Locked Global SIM both making and receiving calls.  Neither of the Two MC319LL will unlock that same Global SIM and both return "Invalid SIM".  Can someone explain why?

I work through a contractor with direct access to Apple's database and all phones return "Initial Activation Policy Description:  US GSM Country Default Policy  Lock Status: Unlocked" for their respective IMEI and Serial Numbers while a known Locked phone verified at the same time returned "Simlock:locked".
Even without verification, I maintain active T-Mobile and AT&T SIMs and have never known a Locked phone to work on both the AT&T and T-Mobile Network with a SIM swap.

    Hi,
    Some ISPs (the people that supply your internet) have porr DNS servers meaning that sometimes that cannot resolve where an app is trying to connect to.
    In System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (two Google Public DNS servers)
    If that does not work then go to the Apple Menu > About this Mac
    In that Panel click twice on the line that tells you the Current OS versin.
    It should change to the Build number (Another Apple Internal Counting of the OS version) and then show you the Serial Number.
    If it is not present it will need "replacing" at an Apple Store or An Apple Authorised Service Provider.
    The Number should be on the Logic/Motherboard.
    If the board is replaced in a repair or refurbishment then the Number should be "flashed" to the new board.
    If that does not seem to be the Issue have the Finder as the app in the Menu Bar
    GO Menu > Go to Folder
    Type etc/hosts into the Dialogue Box that appears.
    This will show you a Hidden folder (etc) and a file called Hosts in it will be highlighted.
    Right click the file and use the Quick Look Option to see the contents.
    It should read like this  if it is unalerted.
    Some apps can change this file and you can have blocks to certain sites for certain apps listed.
    If it lists Apple or Verisign then the iMessages App cannot register.
    Let use know if this is the case and we can give further instructions.

  • Why will not my new ipad sign on to my wireless router when the one i had three days ago did

    my ipad was replaced and my new one will not sign on. i put in the password in and it attempted to sign on then came back and said unable to connect to network. what is most strange is everywhere else i use wireless it works fine and automaticlly signs on just like it kept all the info from the backup. i thought i may have entered the password wrong but it doesnt give me the option to enter it again. at&t seems to think its with the ipad. please help!!

    1. Have you tried rebooting router?
    2. Reset network settings
    3. Have you tried changing the security settings e.g. WEP, WPA, WPA2
    4. Have you tried changing channel; try channel 1, 6 or 11 (non-overlapping channels)?
    5. Reduce the number of walls between your iPad and the router.
    6. Have you tried changing wireless protocol e.g. a/b/g/n

  • Why will not Mozilla-Firefox not open in the version 3.5.16? The schoolonly supports version 3.0

    My question is why does Mozilla Firefox version 3.5.1.6 not work when it always had in the past since 2009 approximately.
    The only thing different is that I did purchase Norton 2011 then upgraded to Norton 2012 Anti-Virus Protection Suite.
    The School I go to will only support Version 3.0 Firefox. I have installed the version 7.0 from your sight by clicking download. I used the older version 3.5.1.6 on my laptop as well with no problems but now it won't work and they both crash. I have clicked on send reports but no answers yet. The laptop as well as my desktop had viruses from a server that I used which I found out had two computers which weren't virus protected with current updated signatures. This was McAfee "Total Protection Suite" which did not give me any protection at all and this is what happened, and it should have at least blocked me from getting onto the Internet through the server. I only used this server as a gateway only. I never had this problem with AVG Protection Anti-Virus Suite, but then I changed to McAfee, which the server uses, and this is when all my problems started because two computers on this network were not protect with updated virus signatures. The viruses crashed my Laptop and almost my desktop as well. I ran Norton and this took care of the problem on my desktop and then I ran Malwarebytes and Hitman both Virus Scanners and removed all 53 viruses, PUPS, and other Malware.
    I reinstalled both of the Mozilla Firefox version 3.5.2.6 and I got the message that said sorry the browser crashed and click OK to send a report to Firefox which I did. I can't start school without Mozilla Firefox as the School only supports Firefox 3.0. As I had corrupted files from the problems with all the Malware and I have resolved most of the issues now except that I will have to upgrade to Windows 7 "Home Premium" and I am working with Dell Tech. Support with this and trying to complete as much as possible before I call them back.
    Will I be able to use the older version and is Norton 2012 the program causing the older versions not to work?

    You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version, that comes with its own profile, to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.
    *http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable#legacy
    *http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
    You probably need to create a new profile because the SQLite version used in Firefox 3.5 is not compatible the the SQLite version that is used by current Firefox versions.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    You are not addressing apple here. Although they provide the forums, all the help provided here is user-supported.
    Before you can make purchases on your account, you must associate and verify an email address with Apple. Have you dont that?
    Have you also used an accepted form of payment in your Billing Details?
    Beyond that, no one here has access to your account. The only thing we can help with is to point you back to Apple - not to an outside company.  If all that checks out and you still have problems, contact iTunes Customer Service.

  • TS1398 why does iphone 3gs switch from wifi to 3g while still in wifi range?

    I have an iphone 3gs and recently updated to ios 5.1.1.Now I'm having trouble with my wifi switching back to 3g,while still in wifi range.Didn't have this problem before i updated to ios 5.1.1 software.How do I resolve this issue?

    I said WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), not WAP (Wireless Access Point)
    If you have wi-fi you already have an Access Point, either as a separate box or (more likely) as part of your router.  Go into your router's administration to see what kind of security you're using.  If you're using WEP, which is an older technology that is not very secure, your router may very likely provide WPA2 as an option.  If so, try using that along with a new passcode for the network.  You'll likely have to "forget the network" on your device and then re-connect and re-enter your new passcode.

  • Converting to Excel why will not format to landscape when original is landscape formatted

    Is the lack of this feature problematic for others? How resolved?

    Hi cortezw64183924,
    I'm sorry to hear that your files aren't converting as you expect. How were the PDF files created? It sounds as though they may have been generated by a third-party app (a non-Adobe app), and they don't contain the tagging information necessary to convert the file in the format as the original Excel file.
    Best,

  • Why will my Iphone 6 not stay on my home Wifi and not recognize it?

    I purchased my iPhone 6 in Nov of 2014. Since the date I purchased this phone, I am not able to stay on my home Wi-Fi signal. When the phone does recognize my Wi-Fi signal, it is only 1 bar and it is painfully slow! It locks up and just goes back to 3G. It does not and will not stay on LTE and I live in Baltimore and I never have a signal stronger than 3 bars and it always jumps between 3G and LTE. I know that is a Sprint issues, at lease I think it is, but never being able to use my home wi-fi is getting old!

    Hi, Peter.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are experiencing issues with your new iPhone 6 dropping from Wi-Fi.  Wireless troubleshooting can be difficult at times as there are multiple factors that can cause one device to experience this behavior but not others.  I would need a little more information with the type of router you are using to provide a better answer.  However, try adjusting your router per the recommend settings outlined below.    
    iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    If you are still experiencing this issue, take a look at the troubleshooting article below.  
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network
    Cheers,

  • Iphone will not recognize an Airport Express extending a wireless network

    Hi. I asked elsewhere in the support community and someone suggested I also ask here. I have two Airport Expresses, one in my living room that is creating a wireless network, and another in the back of my house, extending a wireless network so it will reach in to the back yard. The one in the living room is the new 2012 model, and the one in back is the pre-2012 model. They both have the latest firmware, and I configured them both using the Airport Utility, and can confirm they are working as configured, to create and extend a wireless network.
    My mid-2010 Macbook with Lion shifts between devices effortlessly, switching to the stronger signal when I move between the house and the back yard. I can verify this by selecting Option+Click on the wireless widget in the menu bar and checking the BSSID against the Airport Utility. But the signal from the living room unit still reaches in to the back yard, and as far as I can tell, and the iPhone 4S cannot recognize the existence of the extending unit (outside of the Airport Utility). I know the former is a well-known problem, the iPhone is unique in that it will annoyingly hold on to the existing connection for dear life, even when a stronger one is available. I thought I could work around that by power cycling or disabling/reenabling Wi-Fi when out of range of the living room unit to get around that problem but even that doesn't work.
    When I go some place out of range of the living room unit but still within line of sight of the back yard unit, say the neighboring field, the laptop can connect to the back yard unit with about -75 RSSI, but the iPhone does not even see the wireless network. Even after a power cycle at that location. If I approach my back yard from the field while constantly scanning Wi-Fi (switching between the front pane in the Settings app and the Wi-Fi pane), the iPhone does not see my network until it sees the living room unit, at which point it tries to connect, and the Airport Utility shows the iPhone is connected to the living room unit, not the back yard unit. This is in contrast to the Macbook which both sees the extending Airport and happily connects to it when it has better signal than the living room unit.
    Any idea why the iPhone cannot see the extending Airport Express but the Macbook can?

    Anyone? Has anyone had experience with this problem? I've reset the extending Airport and reapplied the settings and still have the same problem.
