Unlocked German iPhone not working

Hello all,
I have a french iPhone officially unlock by Orange and Apple (France).
We have the same issue. The iPhone crash with sim cards of countries where the iPhone as not been released.
😟
I hope it will be fix soon because i did it to avoid roaming fees...

Hi there,

I'm in Russian Fedration. I've bought iPhone for 649E in Paris at November 29, the official France sales start day. Activated it on my notebook in the hotel on free Wi-Fi internet connection - no problems! I've used Russian credit card and my iTunes logged into French iTunes web site. Orange gsm network worked like a charm.

Have to call 3792 (charged) to Orange service. They told me that they mail me some code and instructions via snail mail, so I gives them an address of my french friend (I stayed in France only for 7 days).

Then I return to Russia. I can check account in roaming (I have 111.49E on it), but calls are disabled in roaming by default.

Today it appeared only 11.49E on account! So 100 euros gone. I connect iPhone to PC, run iTunes. After 1 minute (I did not do anything) the message appears in iTunes: "Congratulations! Your iPhone is unlocked now!" and my MegaFon SIM was accepted by iPhone. Great! I have checked new (rounded contacts) and old (rectangle contacts) SIM cards, both work the same way.

The rest is the same as other in this thread. I cal make a call (only green line appear on top of the screen), can't end call. Can't receive calls, can't browse favorites etc.

Hope it is interesting to somebody!

And already some news from Apple?

21 years ago i bought my first mac (FAT mac)

since this, i bought very many macs.

but i never saw such a big ignorance from apple like this.

genau so ist es; ich begann 1985 mit mac's und es wurden viele ..

aber soetwas ist wirklich nicht normal, allerdings "damals" war apple lange zeit am sand und heute wird in $ gebadet ..

hi!

long time no hear!

I finally gave up waiting for 1.1.3. So I had to find a solution. And you all know, what I mean.
It worked perfect.
But I will switch back if 1.1.3. will provide a solution for our bugs.

All the best!

hi Pianoman81

Was it a 1.1.2?

If it was, pls email me at <edited by host - for your privacy please do not place personal information in the body of posts>

The same problem with german iPhone
* I can't call the phone
* I can't open the SMS app
* I can't open last-calls list
* I can't dial phone numbers in the dial-app

So, today is the day my iPhone got unlocked legally.
However I have the same bugs as everybody else.

I already send in a bug report, and I can only hope 1.1.3 will come soon!

As for now I will use my iPhone in iPod Touch mode as I'm willing to keep my iPhone completely legal.

Hello,

Working in the french part of Switzerland, I bought two regular iPhones with prepaid Orange FR SIM's in France on Nov 29. After finally figuring out the official unlock procedure, paying the 2 x EUR 100 for unlock and the waiting period (of 5, yes five, working days), I finally managed to unlock both of them this morning.

With both of my swiss SIM cards (1 very old Sunrise-formerly-known-as-DIAX, and 1 probably up-to-date Swisscom), the symptoms are exactly the same as for you German buyers... Shoot!

Apart from the waste of time in procedure and hours spent with customer care to figure everything out, I most of all hate feeling like I've been tricked. "Yes, you will be able to use it with ANY other SIM after unlock. Really? Yes, really. Even foreign SIM's? Yes, even foreign SIM's. OK, I'll have two then..."

Anyway, I'm quite sure Apple will find something (probably, hopefully, just a simple update - good X-mas present by the way), but I must say that (for having only recently started to buy some Apple products other than iPods) :

design is slick, support is sick!

Hello i Wrote to the iphone feedback about this !! so no news from them !!!

Somebody have???

3 weeks ago, i baught my 999 eur iphone.

10 times i called apple. every time the same: you have a problem? really? tell us. sorry, we can help you maybe in may 08, when iphone cames to austria.

never heard such ****. only from apple.

so i played with jailbreak - it works great.

same here.. it's really lame. i mean, i payed that hefty price, so i want a real unlocked phone. i'll wait until my holiday starts (21. december).. if apple won't bring a solution i'll have to go the other way..

i didn't understand why apple punished unlock-phones buyers..

Try to phone to the apple care service of the country you bought your Iphone .....

I understand that your own apple care service can't do nothing !!!

I think you can call then by a telephone numbers for a foreign customer !!!
