Before proceeding to the unlock procedure, let me clarify some of the widespread misconceptions about Gevey SIM:
  • Gevey SIM has no effect on the battery life of your iPhone.
  • You do not need to jailbreak your iPhone 4 before using Gevey SIM.
  • Gevey SIM never slows down your iPhone in any way.
  • Losing signal for 2-3 mins will require you to redo the unlock procedure again. Losing signals for some seconds have no effect on the unlock.
  • To unlock your iPhone using Gevey SIM, you must call 112 for atleast 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, you can safely drop your call.

Steps to Unlock iPhone 4 on iOS 4.1/4.2.1/4.3.3 Using Gevey SIM:

STEP 1: Navigate to Settings » General » Network and turn OFF 3G. Keep Cellular Data and Data Roaming option ON. Make sure there is NO unofficial SIM present in your iPhone SIM tray at this time.
