iPhone 5 can't send SMS - gets an error when sending SMS

Hi there!

If someone from Apple is in touch with you on this issue, please keep us updated

So !

Guys, has anyone got any news? I red that iOS 6.0.1 is comming soon, but there was not a single word about our problem! Why can't we get an official feedback? APPLE C'MON!!!

i am sure with all this feedback, we can be hopefull that something will definitely come forth...lets remain optimistic guys!

hey guys, i did write into apple this morning and after more than 3 weeks of purchsing an iphone, today out of the blue, i got a mail "Survey regarding your recent Apple iPhone purchase"

is it normai or it it just coincidence that after all these weeks i get a survey email.....

the survey was not specific to my/"our" problem, however not sure what to make of it, any of you got any such survey requests?

Hi guys!! I have VERY GOOD news... The last thursday I claimed by email to Apple for this problem. Yesterday a person of apple answered my email asking the serial number and some more information about my 2 Sprint iPhone 5. Later, called me and said that restore the two devices from zero and connect them to iTunes and... Congratulations, your device is unlocked!!! (iTunes said that ja)

Finally, I sent a SMS and work FINEEEEEE!!!

My 2 Sprint iPhone 5 were FULL UNLOCKED and send SMS ok!!!

Good luck with yours claims!!!

ps. I sent the email to support@apple.com

Congrat Max, so finally there is hope, can you confirm which email id did you write this mail to?

it will really help all of us!

looking forward to your reply!!!

Hi Max,

That's very good news, but this has to be solved for everyone, not some cases in particular. So it seems this is a problem with phone locking ...

This is so frustrating as Apple Senior Advisor said that they can't unlock the phones and you are already the second person who says that they unlocked your phone ...

Can you please let us know what you wrote to them??

Thanks!

yes Max, would really apprecaite if you could provide us all the email id and details of what you wrote to them to fix your problem....

we are overjoyed at your problem being solved, more with the hope that since yours is solved, hopefully ours will be as well :-)

thanks in advance!

Just sent an email to support@apple.com with the brief description of the problem, my serial number and a link to this thread. I believe that they found the root of this problem and all they need to do is to unlock all Sprint iPhones in their system so we can just restore and enjoy

guys, i wrote the email in my first post... support@apple.com (support @ apple . com)

only i told my problem with my 2 devices and apple answered with a solution

be patient, apple is working in our problem

obviously, now facetime and imessage work fine too, with the mobile number!!

Great going Max. You have really helepd us all. Have send the emai. and waiting good news like you. I'll be returning my phone if it does not work out.

yeah guys, everyone who manages to gat a reply and activate their sms, please update on this thread so that we know that this is really working................ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE and lets look forward to more and more HAPPY POSTS :-)

Hi Max,

Can you check what's your current iOS version, if it's 6.0.1 or some things, that's mean they give you a newer OS.

I've got some conversation with Senior Specialist from apple, and they said, they're still investigating this issue and cannot confirm the date ...

No iOS 6.0.1, I have iOS 6.0

From what I understand It isn´t a problem with the iOS but with the lock/unlock of the device
