T-Mobile unlocked using ultrasn0w - can't make/receive calls or send texts

[Glassy80]

Afternoon all,

So I installed ultrasn0w. Great. It went through fine and appeared to unlock my phone. I get a full 3G signal on my iPhone but for some reason I can't make or recieve calls and I also can't send texts. I'm completely confused.

Plus when I try to call the phone I get the message "calls are not currently being connected to this number".

If I put this sim card back on my other phone everything works perfectly well. Very, very odd.

[kavedawg]

i believe youare supposed to turn 3g service off on ur iphone before you install it...

[Glassy80]

Surely if that was the case then ultrasn0w wouldnt have installed properly?

[Zaied]

ultrasn0w would have installed regardless. just disable 3g under network settings. if that doesnt work then power cycle. if that doesnt work take the sim out, power cycle, and reinsert (although this technically is no longer required by ultrasn0w)

[Glassy80]

Done all that, same thing. Its almost like the phone's been plocked or something. Is that possible?

Or maybe its a T-Mobile thing?

[Zaied]

I wasn't able to receive calls last night shortly after I installed ultrasn0w. It seemed to be fixed this morning. I'm guessing it was a T-Mobile thing? I don't see a reason T-Mobile would block your phone. At most they may force you to upgrade your data plan if you're on T-Zones.

You could try resetting your network settings, reinstalling ultra, calling T-Mobile, or restoring and starting from scratch.

Was it make/receieve calls and send messages or just make calls?

Was it make/receieve calls and send messages or just make calls?

I couldnt receive calls at the time. Although now I'm not entirely sure if I can receive MMS messages. I can definitely send them but the one test I had with a friend, she got mine, I didnt get hers. Maybe her Blackberry doesnt have the correct settings.

If it helps I have a iPhone 3G 8GB on 3.0 jailbroken with PwnageTool 3.0

I had this problem, my carrier signal and edge would go in and out. It had something to do with the iphone not saving my number. I went to Settings>Phone>My Number entered my number then rebooted. It seemed to fix my problem maybe it'll work for some of you. Goodluck

1. Upgrade to OS 3.0 using this custom FW, already jailbreaked w/ Cydia and ICY. Download iphone OS 3.0 FW.
2. Use Cydia or Icy, add source repo666.ultrasn0w.com
3. Install Ultrasn0w
4. Download the http://www.unlockit.co.nz/IPCC/t-mobile.ipcc
5. Make sure itunes is not running
6. Mac - open a terminal and type in..
defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
Windows - open up a command shell and type in:
“%ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
This should now allow you to update your iPhones IPCC file in itunes 8.2 via Shift-Update (Windows) or Command-Update (Macintosh) in itunes. Choose the IPCC File and install
7. Go here to Enable telnet and MMS Unlockit.co.nz. It does it automatically, and took 5 seconds to work.

9. Reboot iphone, and you should see the camera icon when you’re in SMS application

It works for me - sending and receiving. Very good quality. I tried sending and receiving to Sprint & Verizon phones. AT&T doesn’t work, so didn’t try yet. Let me know if you’ve try on the other service providers. Have fun and good luck.

Khang,

I have a question about the first step of this process.

"Upgrade to OS 3.0 using this custom FW, already jailbreaked w/ Cydia and ICY. Download iphone OS 3.0 FW."

I had an iPhone on 2.2.1. I upgraded to version 3.0 of the O/S by clicking update within iTunes. That then upgraded my iPhone to 3.0. I then downloaded redsn0w and pointed it to the ipsw file on my windows machine from the upgrade within iTunes, which installed Cydia. I then installed ultrasn0w with 3G disabled. I then rebooted.

I get a full T-Mobile signal. The problem is I cant make or recieve calls or send texts.

This is different to what you have said above.

My phone didn't make calls after installed ultrasn0w, only incomming calls. I solved the problem inserting my PIN number at Settings-> Phone-> SIM PIN -> Change PIN -> enter your PIN number .

[sneakyg]

hi, i have the same issue. did anyone find a way to solve this?

[Dayvidpriddy]

I just jailbroke/unlocked my 3G and everything seems to be working fine. It took a minute or two for the T-Mobile SIM to register and pull up bars but other then that I seem good to go! Wi-Fi works and everything. No problems here!

Thanks everyone!

Hi,

I just wrote a tutorial for dummies how to jailbrake, unlock and activate installation of cracked or hacked applications on iPhone. I t worked for me and all my friends than check it out:
link removed
I had a problem that I was unable to receive calls and text messages were delayed ... if this is the problem give me a shout and I'll try to find my notes .. .I think that it was something related to the SSH, 3G and edge :-)

[sneakyg]

hi, still having major issues.

it recognises that its on t-mobile, but i still cant call out or recieve calls
