Please explain how the Gevey SIM is illegal world-wide? You may violate the terms of your agreemnt with your carrier but it is not illegal as you state, at least in the USA. I can't comment on the legality outside the US.


Also, the Verizon unlock solution only supports international SIMs, not domestic US SIMs.


Please make sure your infomation is accurate and complete prior to posting.

Please pay attention to the date stamps on the threads you are posting to. This one has been dead for nearly 4 months.


The Gevey SIM makes repeated calls to the emergency services number, which is a crime. Never mind the fact that it is prohibited by the EULA for the phone.


A Verizon iPhone 4S can not be used with any US carrier other than Verizon.
