Hello everyone,

I'm new to the iPhone world with a T-mobile prepaid account. I'm trying to sync with iTunes, but I keep getting this annoying message:

"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported Carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card."

So, I got the phone about a month ago with the AT&T plan and then I switched to my T-mobile prepaid account after jailbraking the phone and bying the GEVEY-3G chip.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I installed from Cydia the t-mobile carrier bundle but it seems to me that this doesn't work at all, because I don't even see the t-mobile figure in the left-top corner. Any ideas?

Also, how do I take advantage of the free t-zones that comes with the prepaid plan? I looked at some of the previous posts but nothing seemed to work with my iphone.

Please help.

Put the iphone in airplane mode and itunes should sync with it without any problems. hoped this helped :]

You cannot sync with a Tmo sim card. You have to either take it out or put it in airplane mode.

Well, this is what I did in the end. I realized that when I jailbroke the phone the first time I did it using QuickPwn because I had a valid AT&T account. Now that I was using T-mobile, I needed a way to activate that with iTunes, so I jailbroke the phone using the PwnageTool this time. It worked fine and now I can sync with iTunes without having to remove the SIM card.

Thanks for replying.
