SIM Not Supported

Johago · ‎03-01-2023

I want to use an old Iphone (Model A1507) with a non EE simcard but it gives the message: The SIM you currently have installed in this iphone is from a network provider that is not supported under the activation policy currently assigned by the activation server. I have tried to call to EE but they don’t actually seem to have humans work for them. It says to contact the provider. I cant get into the phone as it just gives this message. Does anyone know how i can ‘unlock’ this??

@Johago Your iPhone 5c needs to be unlocked to use a none EE SIM card.
Please read THIS and you can make that request via the link on there.

You can just apply for unlocking by using the Unlocking your device form and giving its IMEI no., which you can obtain be dialling *#06# into its keypad.
