HI,

I can't seem to activate my iphone 4s with the sprint sim card (it's not valid anymore since i canceled the contract) that came with it after I did a new restore.

is it possible to unlock it for AT&T with gevey ultra you are selling without activating the phone with ori carrier sim?

thanks.
 
The sprint sim card is for the data to work. At least data wouldn't work for me when I removed the sim card. Get a sim from another carrier to activate.
 
i'm trying with an att sim card but it's not working. im not sure whether im doing it right.

is possible to unlock without activating with the ori carrier sim though?

I just did this yesterday. I took my sprint 4S, ported my number from AT&T, received my gevey cdma sim, unlocked my iPhone, popped my AT&T sim in, and now I'm happily back to AT&T. The guy at AT&T was mad cool. I'm on the $50 plan, with unlimited everything, including data. I'm going to watch my data, because if I can stay on that, there's no way that price can be beat. I never knew I would miss AT&T so much. That, was a lesson learned :D

I haven't had any problems. I had to put the settings in for mms, but other than that, I'm good. I thought I would never say this, but I'm glad to be back on AT&T. Nothing like talking and surfing at the same time.

How is data working on an iphone with a prepaid plan?

Just fine. Just fine :D
 
Is your visual voicemail working? I did the same with my Sprint 4S back to AT&T but can't get my visual voicemail to work.


Nah, visual vm has never worked for me. Even when I had my 3GS and 4 on prepay with AT&T. Never worked. Would be nice, but definitely not a deal breaker.
