Didn't you start this thread like a week ago or was that someone else? Anyways, just sell it on CL and then buy an iphone that works on t-mobile from someone else. The net cost to you should be $0.

at least every android phone in the universe will let you use the phone as a PDA even if there's not a valid sim.

apple won't even let you get past the WILKOMMEN bullshite screen.

how is that AT&Ts fault?

Can't you just reread your other thread instead of asking the same crap again in this one?


And just to make sure I've got this right, you act like a technological wiz on here and bash iOS users for being dumb sheep, but you couldn't get a SIM tray to open?

like i said, i had a nexus sim tool and a thumbtack at my disposal.

since the thumbtack didnt work, i didnt think a paperclip would.

i found one and it did the trick..now i can't read the IMEI..its too tiny and my eyes are bad

Also, do you not have any friends with ATT? Just borrow one of their sim cards and activate the phone and pull the sim card. Phone will work fine without the sim card unless you install another iOS update which will make you have to activate again.

Someone most likely installed a firmware update when they cleaned the phone. So it was probably a jailbroken phone that they put back to regular iOS.

<-- the thread exit is that way

you're the one who shows up in android threads pimping apple, not the other way around. i'm sorry you feel so insecure about your technology you have to jump in and call other people names who are asking a simple question about unlocking a phone.

I don't know what you did, but my original iPhone and iPhone 4 both still work fine without the SIM.
