Chosen Solution
I have one that is stumping me. iPhone 6, a1549, won’t register on any network no matter what SIM I use. Tried using a VZW, ATT and Sprint SIM and it wouldn’t activate. Popped in a Tmo SIM and it activated. OK…so its a Tmo. I pop a Tmo SIM in with active service and it won’t register on the network. Tried rebooting, reinstalling, banging it on the counter, all the usual steps. What am I missing here? The phone works, the SIM works. I’m half tempted to believe that the phone is locked to some weird network but when I run it through our unlock service, its already unlocked. HALP? And just like that…it works. I didn’t do anything to it other than open it to see if I could see anything. I really do hate iPhones.
Don’t rule out hardware. Loss of cellular connection is obnoxiously common on the i6. The antenna switch l (rf5159) has gone out on a few phones I’ve seen. Any of the antenna connections could be loose or there is some kind of debris between them. Has the phone been disabled and reassembled before?
