Guess they are finally valuing their service quality at zero dollars!! Having unfortunate experience of being a sprint customer, I wholeheartedly concur with the valuation of their service.

Hi! I have ten specific questions that only pertain to my individual circumstances. I epitomize laziness and my sense of entitlement is impervious to reason. Therefore it is the responsibility of anyone and everyone who reads this to find the answers to my questions.

Thanks. Ordered the report for $1 and can confirm phone is unlocked. Chat wouldn't help me because I couldn't reply to their security text (because my phone isn't working!).

Good work on the GSX report.

You can call Sprint and get them to verify the ICCID is correct (if they are still open on the phones).

The ICCID is the serial number of the current sim.

It is visible in Settings.

If you have never given it to Sprint for the latest sim, then it is guaranteed not be correct and that would be the problem.

Also, have you positively re-checked now that the part number of the sim is correct? What is it explicitly starting with SIMGLW....... or SIMOLW.....?

Could you please copy and paste the full report? Is this for iPhone X or iPhone XS? I saw you mentioned iPhone X (GSM) on one post and iPhone XS on another post.

Turn off find my iPhone, and restore it to factory default using iTunes.

If the above does not work, the IMEI needs to be added to the Sprint DMD using their DNA2 tool. Ask the chat rep to do it or go to any Sprint corporate store to do it.

Since it's a TMobile xs, was it activated on TMo Service for at least 40 days and paid off? If I recall correctly, after unlock request from TMo, that's what's needed to get it carrier unlocked.

After factory reset, gives message "The SIM card has locked. Please power cycle the device and if the problem persists contact Customer Service".

This is what has been happening all day. Got a new SIM, had them update system with the ICCID. Same problem.

No. I ran it about 1/2 hour ago and got the report I posted. I saw that message on the report so I turned off Find My iPhone and did a factory reset. Still same problems. I'm willing to pull another report for $1 if it is useful.
