Ovivo and Android

"Some features of our services may not, however, work with devices that have been “rooted” (Android) or “Jailbroken” (iOS."

Which services would they be and does it depend on the phone ?

Ask Ovivo and then tell the forum maybe ?????

Their customer service doesn't work sundays that's why I'm asking here

I have an Ovivo sim in a rooted HTC Desire HD running Jellybean and everything works perfectly.

I also have an Ovivo sim in a rooted Samsung Galaxy s running Jellybean and everything works perfectly on that two.

I have a rooted san francisco, and am running Fish N' Chips. No problems!

I suspect all rooted androids will work perfectly with Ovivo and they are just putting in this disclaimer in case there are issues with the custom rom itself (which customers might blame on Ovivo).

I got this reply from Ovivo

Specifically we have seen the following problems:



1) Over the air configuration of settings may not work and your device may have to be configured manually

2) Some rooted devices may experience issues sending and receiving MMS and in some cases it may not function at all

3) Some rooted devices may experience intermittent failures when browsing the Internet



We have not seen any issues with voice and text services however.

Well I did have to put in the settings for Ovivo rather than it being done automatically, but it wasn't a big deal.

I never use MMS so can't comment.

I've never had any problems with the internet.

Has anyone managed to get an Ovivo SIM working with a jail broken Apple iPhone running the latest iOS6? I tried but gave up. Is it possible?

Yes, no problems at all.

Exactly what problem are you encountering?
