I’ll like to know if there will be updating iOS or any problems with imported iPhones that are sold with a turbo sim?

I’m not too sure what is turbo sim but I guessed that it is used to unlock the phone so that we can use it with any telco network in Malaysia, is that correct?

It is slightly more affordable. Not enough money for the normal ones without turbo sim, but still like iPhones... 😁🤣 Please share your experience using such phones. Thanks.

not recommend to buy a sim lock phone, very troublesome
every now and then they will update new SSID, if u happen to go overseas, not sure the card works or not.
better get a free + unlock phone, use whenever wherever you want at anytime.

I've a TurboSim phone - updating the IOS or using an overseas number isn't an issue at all. The only problem I've encountered is sharing mobile data is not possible.

That's right. Not possible (in the recent time). Not sure why.

Then you need to change/upgrade your unlock sim. They solved this hotspot problem long ago.

Some reported better signal stability if you force 4G signal vs LTE signal.
