Hi all,

I have a question to those using Rebel SIM or any TurboSIM type solution to unlock their phones.

Do you experience problems receiving calls using Rebel SIM/TurboSIM?

I am using Rebel SIM at the moment for my Iphone 3G and I did not realize it until recently that over the last month, I have not received any calls but been receiving SMSes to say that there were missed calls from many numbers. So, I called myself (I have two phones) and then it realized that it all the calls go to voice mail. Then I tested using the call forwarding function, and guess what? All calls were received at the forwarded number.

This is very weird.

a) I can call out (No problems)
b) I can use data (3G, GPRS and EDGE)
c) SMSes work

But cannot receive calls even when the signal is at full bar.

I am using Maxis with unlimited 3G package. I took out the SIM and it worked fine on my other phone.

Can anyone help me on this?

Appreciate that...

Thanks.

dude.. what is ur iphone3g from? which country? have u tried the yellowsn0w from cydia?

Contact the seller of your RebelSIM?

I have a colleague who bought an US iphone 3G, same problem as yours. He is using Maxis SIM.

What he did is to disable 3G, then receiving calls no longer a problem.

My advise is:

use software unlock instead, that works better.

I am using an official unlocked iphone 3G on Celcom with no problem for in and outgoing calls with or without 3G/HSDPA

hope this help

Hi Milky,

I am using an Iphone from Japan, its locked to Softbank and already on the Firmware 2.2.1.

Shoki,

Thanks for the advice, I wanted to do that.. .but had a bad deal with the seller.

chiacy,

I guess I will try that... the 2G method. See if there are any changes... will turn on the 3G when required.

Thanks all for the suggestions and replies...

Dev Team seems to be taking so long to break the 2.2.1 firmware :-P

ur firmware is 2.2.1 what is ur baseband ?

Sadly, my baseband is the 2.30.3 and I cannot revert back to the 2.28 version.

So, I am stuck and require the SIM unlocking solution instead of the software unlocking.

Hello..

yeah i got this problem too just realize also lol.. how come whole day no call coming in..

disable the 3g - can call out and receive call
enable 3g = can call out only..sms also hard come in .. so no other solution or other sim unlocker? im using Rebel

Is better to off 3G network cause of turbosim, gevey or rebel all similar function.

as for me, when im in my hometown in kampar perak, i also cant receive call when someone calls me, sms ok, i believe the maxis tower in kampar somehow not pacth/update properly in order to use with maxis 3G sime card in, when i turn off my 3G signal i can receive call etc, there was no problem when im in here in shah alam or other place,

i using sg set iphone and my brother also using aus iphone( last month ) and now using UK set also got problem only in our hometown...

anyway TS where is the place you encountered this problem? how about trying to use it at other places and see how it goes, example at your work/study places.

Hi, my friend recently updated his Iphone 3G to 2.2.1 firmware, which inturn updated his baseband to 02.03.30 or something (the one that is not supported by yellowsn0w). Has anyone heard of a downgrade yet?
Is there a turbo sim (hardware unlock) for this firmware? if so, how much and where can i get it?

try this link it may help you

http://thebigboss.org/2009/04/14/phaseband...in-your-iphone/

in cyndia also got type 'downgrade baseband'

however all of this will work if your using Bootloader 5.8 in the simple word your phone manufacured b4 september 2008.

dear all sifus..need some advice from you. i have recently bought a Iphone 3G 16G.
FYI it's using turbosim to run with the version 2.2.1 (5H11).
The modem firmware is 02.30.03.
The iphone is an Australia set

i am able to detect my maxis line (no problem with call, incoming/outgoing and even SMS incoming/outgoing) but the problem is when i turn on my 3G, it will search and somehow or rather, it will not be able to detect the maxis.
i would need to turn off my 3G and redetect the line only then i will get the maxis coverage.

how can i enable the 3G with my maxis still on?

do you have any advice on this?

Please help...

if you really want my advice, i would suggest that you pay the unlocking fees (since it is an OZ unit) through the proper channel.

it saves you a lot of time and hassle in the near future.

just a one time "pain" (monetary and time wise), for a permanent "gain"

will it relock if OS is upgraded?
