What is happenning to my iPhone and how do i fix it?
christelle asked:
My iphone (bought in the Philippines, using in Canada) froze so i pressed the home and unlock button at the same time. I’ve done that couple of times but last night it said to connect my iphone with itunes so i did. Then, it said to restore it so i did. Then now it says the sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported. Help me please, tell me what to do.

Well you’ll get little support being that your using the iPhone in a country that doesn’t support the phone. Your best bet would be to wait till July 11th and buy the new 3G IPhone. Canada has been added to the list of countries the phone will launch in so you’ll finally have a fully functioning iPhone and for only $199. Not a bad trade off. WingsOfZion
christel when you restored your phone .. it is as it came from Apple. You locked it back on the ATT network.
You will need to go thru the unlocking process again… good luck!! MaryAnn
you will need to unlock your iphone
here you can find the unlocking software for free PAIN
just as maryann stated – when you clicked on restore, it got set back to original configuration (probably newer firmware if older than 1.1.4) and now only accepts AT&T sim.
just need to unlock again and you should be fine. just remember not to update/restore thru itunes, otherwise this will happen again.
there’s a freeware that we use and it takes less than 5 minutes with your exisitng data cable. do a search on a major search engine and you should find it. it’s the same software that some are selling for $$$ on some auction sites.
good luck sakazekillaz
