If you are an iPhone user, you may have experienced a situation where your phone displays “SIM Not Valid” or “SIM Not Supported” messages. This problem occurs when your iPhone is locked to a certain carrier. In such cases, when you try to use a SIM card from another carrier, your iPhone will not work. In this article, we will guide you on how to unlock an iPhone 5C Sprint when it displays “SIM Not Valid” or “SIM Not Supported” messages.
Before starting with the unlocking process, you need to know the IMEI number of your iPhone. There are two cases with a locked iPhone: sometimes, it is locked to the menu, and you cannot do anything with it. In the second case, if you remove the SIM card and restart the iPhone, you can use it normally. In the first case, you can find the IMEI number by clicking the “i” icon on the activation screen and then clicking on the blue info button on the bottom right corner. This will show the IMEI number on your screen. Write down the IMEI number, and you will have to use another phone to do the unlocking.
If you remove the SIM card and restart the iPhone, you can use the iPhone normally. The easiest way to find the IMEI number is to open up the dialer and dial *#06#. This will show the IMEI number on your screen. You can also find the IMEI number on the SIM tray slot on the iPhone itself or on the back of the factory box.
Once you have the IMEI number, go to the website simneverlock.com. This is the website where we do the unlocking. Write down your email address, IMEI number of your iPhone, and the phone version. Make sure that everything is correct and click on “Unlock.” It will take around two minutes for the service to confirm your request.
After the confirmation, you need to verify that you are not a robot. Click on “I’m not a robot,” and a list of apps from the app store will show up. Choose one of the apps and follow the instructions given for installation. This is a very important step, so make sure that you do it correctly; otherwise, you’ll have to start all over again. Run the app for about 30 seconds, like the instructions say.
Now it’s time to put a SIM card in the iPhone and see if it works. If your iPhone recognizes the new SIM card and you have signal, this means that you have successfully unlocked your iPhone. You can now use any SIM card you want from any carrier.
In case this process did not work, try another app from the page with apps. You may also want to wait between three to five minutes because sometimes there is a delay in the unlocking service.
In conclusion, we hope that you found this article helpful in unlocking your iPhone 5C Sprint when it displayed “SIM Not Valid” or “SIM Not Supported” messages. This process may seem complicated at first, but once you have the IMEI number, the process is quite straightforward. You now have the freedom to use any SIM card you want from any carrier.
