Gevey SIM Unlock For iPhone 4 Deemed “Illegal”
We recently wrote about the Gevey SIM interposer, a TurboSIM like piggy back SIM card that allows you to unlock any iPhone 4. Many raised concerns about the legality of the method when it was first publicized and it was also warned that your carrier might not like you using the tool. The iPhone Dev Team member, MuscleNerd recently confirmed that the Gevey SIM is indeed illegal in the US and most likely in other countries as well because it dials the 112 emergency number and hangs up right away. Dialing the 112 phone number is basically equivalent to dialing 911 in the United States, which is illegal, unless you are calling for a valid reason that is. Because the 112 call has to be made every time you reboot your unlocked iPhone, it will most likely get you in trouble in the long run. Your SIM might be banned by the carrier and then you might even get banned as the customer with prolonged use. At the end of the day, only you can be the one to decide whether it is worth it for you to put your mobile account on the line. Even if you decide to go with the Gevey SIM card, it’s still going to set you back $70. What do you think of the whole ordeal? Is it worth waiting for an official software unlock such as UltraSn0w, or is it worth taking the risk of being banned by your cell carrier?
