That's the point. There is no U.S. carrier.
"Best thing with Italian sims for iPhone is to purchase there in Italy"
Are you saying purchase the phone in Italy or purchase the SIM card in Italy? because he did purchase the SIM card in Italy.
"get him to do a full restore and see if that helps."
How does one do that?
Thanks
There is/was a US carrier. More then likely AT&T.
Issue is the phone is not really 'unlocked' its been hardware hacked and the hardware hack is not working. The issue is the Gevey Sim is IMHO fragile and some claim a POS. IF it hasn't been updated to the latest ios he could 'jailbrake' it to sim UN-lock it and resolve all issue for the time being.
