Hi,
I have a friends iPhone bought and used in Australia, it is unlocked but does not seem to connect to any network, I have tried a number of SIMs. I think it is an iPhone 3, the icons are there and the apps work but cannot connect to a network
You will need to select a provider in the UK and open an account with which they will give you a SIM. Select a provider that will support iPhones. Note that the iPhone you have must support GSM networks.
Hi, Thanks for the quick answer. I have tried Vodafone and Orange networks with no luck. Not really sure about GSM networks, are they not all GSM in the UK?
I know that Vodafone and Orange support iPhones. Have you tried to open an account and get a properly programmed SIM? And, if your phone is still locked to your AU provider, you will need to have them unlock it for you.
Yes, UK is GSM. I think so is AU, but not sure. But more importantly is that the phone is a GSM phone and not a CDMA. The old 3G models came in two separate flavors - GSM or CDMA.
All uk carriers are GSM
If the 2 carrier's sims are not giving a signal ,what is the message if any you receive
How do you "know" it is unlocked ?
