Iphone 4 Unlock - The Gevey Turbo Sim Does The Trick

I plan on this blog being mostly about Nintendo 3DS and Homebrew games and apps for use with the R4 3DS and R4 DS Card, but being an iphone 4 owner myself, I wanted to touch on this little Gevey unlock sim.  While I am on a contract and with AT&T, I know a lot of people want to get their hands on an iPhone 4, new or second hand, but don't want to sign up for term contracts, maybe they want to use it as a prepaid phone, or you're locked into a contract already, on a different carrier, and want some iPhone 4 goodness.  That's where the Gevey Iphone 4 Unlock comes into play. 


The Gevey unlock sim is an interpolator.  It sits between your actual sim card and your iphone 4, and magically unlocks your iphone.  The people behind it have made sure that it works with the iPhone 4 on all the latest iOS versions and the basebands that are not able to be unlocked using any software unlock.  What I like about the gevey sim is the fact that I don't have to jailbreak my iphone 4 to be able to use it.  I never jailbroke my iphone 3GS (didn't personally see the need - I'm not knocking jailbreaking, just isn't for me), and I haven't yet done so on my iPhone 4 either. 

And with the newest iOS version, a jailbreak is possible, but an unlock is not, so the motivation for a Jailbreak goes away instantly (I know a lot of people that jailbreak ONLY to be able to unlock their phones), and that is what the appeal of the Gevey sim is.  You don't need to jailbreak your phone, or use any type of custom firmware with it.  Just your stock Apple iPhone 4, and this sim card will get you up an running no matter who your cell provider is.  Definitely worth a look.  See below for the supported iOS versions and basebands.
