It happened to me when I got my iPhone from US, I got a Sprint iPhone 5 64 Gigas.

Apple Support solved it in less than 1 day, please everybody call Apple Support via phone and explain your situation and if you are not in US use any internet call service.

the problem lies with the phone CDMA modem which is locked and GSM part which in unlocked by defualt to roam out side US.

so when u pay the full price, it supposed to be fully unlocked and that what Apple Support will do.

Me too I have the same problem I can't send SMS till now is there any advice .. I got the I phone 5 from sprint unlocked and full price and I'm using it in Italy but doesn't send SMS ..

Perform an Erase all Content and Settings or

Restore your iPhone

Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

Connect your iPhone to a Wi-Fi network.

Wait until "iPhone is activated" is displayed on the screen.

Reinsert the non-Sprint SIM card.

You should now be able to send SMS. If you still cannot send SMS after performing the above steps, contact Apple for additional support.

Such a huge problem and happen anywhere, but no one from Apple care and try to help us here, in this Apple Support Communities which is part of their official website.

Unbelieveable they keep let everyone post 'help link' which is need money to do. Do they work together to make some more money?

Apple? They DONT CARE!
