    Will this work on T-mobile USA with a phone locked to ATT USA?  

  • 6 admin // Aug 11, 2008 at 3:43 pm

    @sam
    Of course :-) works on any type of locked iPhone 3G  

  • 7 sam // Aug 11, 2008 at 4:03 pm

    Is there a money back or return policy if it doesn’t?  

  • 8 admin // Aug 11, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    @sam
    This you must discuss with your reseller. I am sure he will agree.  

  • 9 admin // Aug 11, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    We do replace damaged Universal-SIM to resellers so should be no problem … Or you can just search for a local Mobile phone repair shop and maybe they already have Universal-SIM for you to test before you buy.  

  • 10 Sam // Aug 11, 2008 at 7:26 pm

    I would like to buy the new unit but the usa seller doesn’t sell them individually… And he doesn’t specify even if it’s the new version. Can you please give me a link to order one piece??? Can I get it from a European seller?  

  • 11 Worldwideseb // Aug 12, 2008 at 6:36 am

    just buy online from http://www.gsm-traders.com. They sell individual units and have very reasonable international selling rates..

    Please for your help  

  • 14 Robert // Aug 15, 2008 at 3:11 am

    1. Will downloads only work on a PC i.e. are they all .exe files? Are MAc users screwed?

    2. Do the GSM Traders have the most current THINNER Universal SIM?

    Thanks- Rob  

  • 15 admin // Aug 15, 2008 at 5:03 am

    @Robert – You have a very good point there.
    Universal-SIM was designed with windows users in mind… as almost all unlocking software runs on windows :-( . I will check the options i have to port the software to MAC. Thanks for ideea.

    About GSM Traders – yes they always have the latest Universal-SIM.  

  • 16 admin // Aug 15, 2008 at 5:05 am

  • 23 Jason // Aug 22, 2008 at 2:27 am

    Which phone is djdom referring to? The iPhone 3g? I am also Tmobile here in the US.

  • 25 djdom // Aug 22, 2008 at 2:43 pm

    T-Mobile is working on Universal-Sim… sometimes you have to switch on/off 3g options, but still great job!!! Thank you Universal-Sim!  

  • 26 Jason // Aug 22, 2008 at 6:07 pm

    Where did you order from? USBFever? If so, which model did you get? Link?  

  • 27 Robert // Aug 23, 2008 at 12:43 am

    Jason-

    GSM Traders is your least expensive solution for obtaining Universal SIM and pkey for shipping to US. Search for these items once you are on the site. Ebay options are more expensive this week. You need the pkey for future SIM card updates. Current version of Universal SIM has thinner FPC (the SIM itself), rounded corners, and the IC ( black microcontroller chip) on SIM has no name. Keep reading the iphone forum and by the time your order arrives you’ll know what to do.  

  • 28 djdom // Aug 23, 2008 at 12:40 pm

    v5 the new version  

  • 29 Jason // Aug 23, 2008 at 5:56 pm

    Robert,

    I appreciate the help. I ordered a few of the sims and will be testing them on Tmobile USA 3g within the next few weeks.

    Where do we enter this information (the card or the phone?):

    The settings are:

    1. Use Dummy ATR / SIM / Standard baudrate
    2. You can also try: Use card ATR / SIM / Use card default baudrate

    Also, before we insert do we turn 3g/data roaming ON or OFF?
    Thanks again.  

  • 30 frank // Aug 24, 2008 at 2:34 am

    I am in US and I have international SIM card romaing through T-Mobile. I did all as per the video and instruction. My iPhone 3G got the signal through T-Mobile for only 15 minutes. Then I got ‘No Service’ on iPhone. I took my original (international) SIM card from my iPhone and put it back on my old (SonyEricsson) mobile. Following meaasge poped up on my mobile: “Your SIM card is corrupted. Contact your provider.” No even my original SIM card do not work…Please help.  

  • 31 thegcore // Aug 25, 2008 at 1:23 pm

    i have an att iphone 3g.
    how do i access the apn settings on the phone?
    the submenu is not there under network.  

  • 32 PrieSt // Aug 26, 2008 at 11:30 am

    Hi,

    I am using your new model with v5.00. It is perfect with my carrier, always full reception, no no sim or service. Very satisfied. But, my phone seems to drain so much power. I have done everything common on the net to prevent that draining. Is it something to do with the uni-sim? Does v5.40 solve this? Thanks.  

  • 33 admin // Aug 26, 2008 at 4:14 pm

    @PrieSt – How long does your battery lasts?
    Yes it is a good idea to try also 540 version. It is better in many ways but i don’t think will solve your problems about draining. Anyway just check and let us know!  

  • 34 thegcore // Aug 27, 2008 at 12:02 pm

    @ admin

    any news on porting the program for use with mac users? my mac seems to pick up the pkey with no issue, but it would be nice to not have to borrow a friend’s pc!  

  • 35 Jason // Aug 28, 2008 at 5:04 pm

    I’m still confused about this part:

    Where do we enter this information (the card or the phone?):

    The settings are:

    1. Use Dummy ATR / SIM / Standard baudrate
    2. You can also try: Use card ATR / SIM / Use card default baudrate  

  • 36 Jason // Aug 28, 2008 at 6:14 pm

    Edit: I noticed the above settings in the Univ Sim program but I have a new issue.

    Where do we find the USB drivers for the PKey? I installed SmartCard 2000 “Pkey-driver.rar” and it did nothing. The computer still doesn’t recognize the unit. Should I insert without sim card in it or use different driver?
    Thanks.  

  • 37 Jason // Aug 29, 2008 at 12:00 am

    Edit: Got it working now. Drivers only seem to work on certain PC’s.

    -Had to do special sliding motion to get PKey to recognize univ sim.
    -Updated to V540 and everything works on tmobile USA but no 3g here yet (not until october).  

  • 38 madmakz // Aug 29, 2008 at 1:14 pm

    @Jason:
    Hi there. Could u okease explain what u mean with special sliding motion, would be kind from you.

    Greets…  

  • 39 Sam // Aug 29, 2008 at 7:52 pm

    Jason, you know that the 3G from t-mobile usa won’t work with the iphone, right?  

  • 40 admin // Aug 30, 2008 at 7:28 am

    @Sam – can u be more specific please :-)   

  • 41 Robert // Sep 3, 2008 at 12:14 am

    T-Mobile USA confirms no 3G with iphone due to transmitter and frequency issues (upload/download- beyond my technical understanding) only edge (2G).  

  • 42 jill Bill // Sep 4, 2008 at 8:02 am

    Hallo admin the Universal sim work great but 3G is only working if i enable Data Roaming !! I have contract and have data flat but if i use data roaming do i have to pay money if i use data roaming in my country ??
    Thanks  

  • 43 admin // Sep 4, 2008 at 1:27 pm

    @jill Bill – data roaming does not mean you are charged extra in your country. It means you need to pay more if you go to another country and use data. ( so you can disable data when going to another country )  

  • 44 Ehsen // Sep 5, 2008 at 9:58 am

Anybody out there pls I need answers !! Thanks =-)  

  • 47 PrieSt // Sep 23, 2008 at 10:39 am

    Hi there,

    Isn’t there roaming with these chips? I am out of my country and it is “no service”.

    Any help is appreciated  

  • 48 admin // Sep 24, 2008 at 3:34 pm

    @PrieSt – Roaming should be ok. The only problem is that you cannot choose the network to roam on. You you have to use the automatically selected one.
    For some customers this is really a problem ( the ones that live near the borders of the country ) and might get into roaming by mistake.
    Maybe will take some time to find the correct network.
    To speed up the process you can take out the card, put it into another unlocked phone and after you have aquired the desired network you should put the card back in iPhone.  

  • 49 kerron // Sep 26, 2008 at 8:35 pm

  • 52 admin // Sep 29, 2008 at 6:28 am

    @kerron – you need to update the Universal-SIM to use it for iPhone 3G

    hi,

    I have a sim unlock similar to this from HK.
    when using it with my etisalat card in UAE it works but when travelling, I get no signal after few minutes/hours.

    will it be the same with U-sim?  

  • 55 Marc // Nov 8, 2008 at 5:30 pm

    Just wanted to add, U-Sim works perfectly down here in Jamaica.

  • 59 e5j // Nov 19, 2008 at 5:11 pm

    I just received my new UniSIM with v580 from eBay. My iPhone3g is already active with AT&T in USA. I powered off the phone, removed the AT&T SIM and inserted the UniSIM with a good US TMobile 3G SIM. I get “No Service” and in Settings->General->About->Network I get “None”

    I have iPhoe 3G fw 2.1. My UniSIM card is new (rounded edges).
    Help?  

  • 60 S.B // Nov 21, 2008 at 11:10 am

    has anyone tried Universal-SIM with 2.2 Firmware for iPhone 3G yet?  

  • 61 admin // Nov 23, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    @e5j – do you have the new firmware 2.2 inside?
    @S.B – Universal-SIM is not working with 2.2. We will test more and give you more news in the following days.
