Q: Iphone SIM card question?

I saw an unanswered question, tapped in a reply, and it vanished. Both question and answer.

Maybe I am having a brain burst.

Anyway, the question I answered was about iphone 6 compatability with different suppliers SIM cards.

Apologies to the OP for vanishing your question.

I blame MS Edge.

If it’s an iPhone 6 bought in China then it should work on any carrier here. Unless bought specifically from a China Mobile store. 

 

Though to make sure check here:

Alternatively you could quickly search and go direct to the manufacture to check:

The answer I tried to post.

I recall people having to change from China Mobile to China Unicom when the IPhone 6 first came out. Something to do with the 4g being different between the service suppliers.

So an original IPhone 6 might need a china Unicom sim card.

I dont think your phone is locked, its just looking for a differnt 4g protocol.

hey thanks scotsalan for answering me. i figured i was being lazy and did not do enough research so i deleted the question. i should have gone to the shop first before asking, which i'm going to do now

is there anything i can do to make it work? i've got a feeling it'll be forever useless.

 

i ve got a 6s which i bought two years ago. regretfully i bought the 16g which is completely useless. i saw a used iphone6 128g for sale so i bought it. if anybody is looking for an older iphone do not get the iphone 6s

 

 

dokken:

i went to to the shop to find out. cannot use my telecom sim card with a phone that had previously been used on the china mobile network. the reasons are the same as scotsalan states.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
