How-to Use Gevey Sim ?
SPONSORED LINKS
We have covered details about Gevey Sim Unlock in our last post . In this post we will explain how you can use Gevey Sim to unlock your iPhone 4 and discuss about the key components of Gevey Sim Package .
Update : Read our latest post about Where to Buy Gevey Sim ?
Gevey Sim consists of two parts
- Micro Sim Interposer - A circuit with the unlock exploit programmed in it .
- Sim Tray - Which holds the micro sim card along with the sim interposer . This will replace your stock sim tray .
How to use Gevey Sim to unlock iphone 4 :
- Buy Genuine Gevey Sim from Amazon
- Remove any sim card from your iPhone 4 and go to Settings > General > Network. Turn off 3G data and turn on Cellular Data and Data Roaming .
- Switch off your iphone 4 and insert the Gevey Sim along with the micro sim card in the sim slot as shown below .
- Turn on your Iphone 4 . Accept Welcome Screen as shown below .
- It will now show “No Sim Card Installed” or “No Service” message . Just accept and goto next step.
- Wait for 15 seconds for one signal bar to appear and Dial 112 . Make the call and disconnect it after 2 seconds . Dont let it ring at the other end as this will connect to the 24 hr emergency line of your area , usually the police station .
- Now goto Settings and select Airplane Mode On . Wait for No Sim Installed Message . Now turn Airplane Mode Off .
- You will now see a “Sim Failure” message. This is normal . Wait for few seconds for the full network bar to appear .
- Congratulations . Your favorite device is now unlocked . Use it with any carrier of your choice. The phone will show “iPhone is Activated” . Repeat Steps 3 to 4 if it doesn’t show the network signal bars in your first attempt . You will need to redo the process if the phone looses network at no coverage areas .
Buy Gevey Sim from reliable Sources . See our list of trusted Gevey Sim Suppliers .
Here is the complete video of the steps explained above - YouTube :
Note : If you find “No Sim Card Installed” message frequently , then its the problem with the Gevey Sim. Stick a tape at the position shown in the image below which is doing a short-circuit with the micro sim metal contacts . After this , the problem should be resolved .

Good to see that some solution to unlock Iphone 4 baseband 02.10.04 is out.
I have a question tho.
Suppose that my phone is unlocked using this simcard. Will I be able to upgrade software (baseband gets automatically upgraded with it right?) and still be able to use my phone? Or Do I have to keep it at the same version at all times?
Thank you
you need to preserve baseband at all times . According to official site this sim is not supported in iOS 4.3 . we will update you if the Iphone Dev come up with a software solution
Do you still believe in iPhone Dev team for a solution?
That was one of my burning questions, thank u for the answer. I do have two more, though. Do I need to have my new carrier sim card when I do this? Also, I am in London, UK, do I still dial 112 or do I use the UK emergency number 999?
Regards,
Liz
Liz, 112 will work in the UK too. Its an international emergency number that should work in most places
. It will just forward to 999.
Thank You! I just bought one and will hopefully get it early next week.
Hello, I was just wondering, let’s say you unlock the iphone with this Gevey Sim, how would you use it with another network such as Tmobile? Also how exactly does this unlock work is it for a company or can you just pop in any sim you like?
Is it true, that the Gevey-Sim for the iPhone 4 dials first the emergency and then switches to real call , every time you make a call????
Need some answer..
thank you…
yeah
hey you can update you iPhone to 4.3 or watever as long as you have the baseband they as for gevey sim.
Nice
tenho uma questao…o gevey sim trabalha em paises em que o 112 seja uma chamada de emergencia??
agradeceria uma resposta..
Ihave question….

i live in portugal and the 112 is a emergency call….

I think all the numbers are emergency numbers all over the world.
911
112
etc

Everyoone is saying the unlock for 4.1 came i just wanted to make sure it really came up yet or not
I have already subscribed for ur website
thanks
i have a question.
when i unlock my iphone using this sim card.
will i be able to use any other sim card for any telecom company ?
or ?
and if not , explain please how this sim card will work.
calling and receiving .
w8 a sec ,,, i should attach my sim to the turbo sim card ?
and then use it ?
or am wrong ?
yes , right . your micro sim sits on the sim interposer
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THIS CHINESE SIM YOU CAN KEEP SWITCHING IT WITH ATT OR WHATEVER CARRIERS YOU LIKE UNLESS STEVE JOB PLANTS ANY BUG IN TO YOUR IPHONE.
hey if you unlocked your phone using this gevey sim you dont have to attached the gevey sim again. you can used the sim card you used for your provider.
GEVEY SIM CARD WITH IT’S TRAY COST $75.00 LEAST RIGHT NOW.
BUY IT OR WAIT FOR DEV TEAM, chronic dev team, GEOHOT,OR SOME OTHER NERDY’S. YOU GUYS BEATEN BY CHINESE KKK
I have the 4.2.1 im in Bolivia i just want to know if this chip will wor here and how much its the cost
thanks
DONT YOU READ. THIS COST $75 LOWEST NOWADAYS.
WHEN IT WORKS IN STATES IT SHOULD WORK IN OTHER COUNTRIES BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT’S MOST COMPLICATED IN STATES THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRIES SPECIALLY BOLIVIA.
I bought gevey sim yesterday for $38 from amazon
for iphone 4.2.1 works perfect
APPLE SHOULD START SELLING THE UNLOCK CODES INSTEAD LOOSING ALL THIS MONEY TO CHINA.
you mean AT&T not apple.
if apple did it , then why AT&T are paying billions for ?
btw , try to take of your finger away from the capslock
.
At&t has nothing to do with unlock codes for Apple products. It’s Apple’s decition on weather to or not release any unlocks for their product(s). At&t is basicly only Apple’s Commercial providor.
where to get it? is it out yet?
yes, goto this addr
applenberry.com
thanks so much!
Is the `112` dial only required at the 1st time, or will it be dialed every time (in silent mode)in front of an outgoing call and the switched to a “normal” connection?
112 shd be dialled everytime when ur device turns off/ ur battery drains to 0/ u lose the reception of network etc..
Its not dialled for every outgoing call…
Please someone help. I got an iPhone 4 on 4.3.1. The gevey SIM worked with tmobile. But when I restarted the phone it stopped working, it would just show no service. I tried the steps (calling 112, airplane mode off/on, etc..) nothing works
I’ve been trying for hours but to no avail. What do I do?
Help please
Thanks in advance
it is already available in china, it works fine. It cost 388rmb. (6.7rmb = 1 usd)
The problem is that it need a complicated process to activate it, not so convenient.
No complicated process…but this is not permanent solution & thats what bothering most people.. Even after spending 388rmb we dont get permanent solution then its useless..
Charlie,
Where can I buy Gevey in Shanghai? Is it available only online
or can I get it in shop?
Please let me know.
ATT is buying TMobile today anyway, so what’s the point of unlocking your Iphones, right? ATT is buying TMobile for $40 Billion Dollars. Money does talks!!!
I was gonna say the same thing, but this unlock actually makes sense for people who are in or travel to other countries. I bet the DevTeam comes out with an unlock solution now that AT&T has purchased T-Mobile, and there’s no need for it in the US anymore
exactly…dev team will continue to work on the unlock.. Unlock is not just for US folks ..its for everyone across globe..
Also the actual merger between ATT & T Mob will take almost a year…
Chriss ur turn now..
Please comment…
i stay in india can i us tht sim here…???n will it make my iphone 4 factory unlock???? or i need to stay wth d same version???? need help…
it does not factory unlock ur device…it shd always stay in ur phone.Also in future firmware releases this exploit may get blocked & this gevey SIM may stop functioning…That’s the main reason folks are skeptical about it till now…
but no one knows about future..
if dis exploit may get blocked den whts d use of gettin a turbo sim for 70$ or more..wen u already paid hundred of bucks for d ip4…i would prefer watin 4 d software unlock…as is i hav waited for 4 months ill wait for sumtym more…m quit sure d dev, sharif..etc will do it soon…

hi,
i lives in india. i can get gevey sim from usa. and i can bring it to india as i have so many contact. but pls inform me that can i use it on my iphone-4 to unlock? is gevey sim workable in india? i have vodafone card here. pls reply me urgently….
I didn’t want to search online to see if 112 worked here in Canada so I tried calling instead while I was reading this thread. Of course when someone picks up and you hang up they call you back to make sure there’s no emergency. I told the woman it was an accident and she asked what kind of phone I have. If as a previous post explained you’d need to dial this number any time you lose the network/turn phone off/battery dies then someone is going to catch on and change things because the 112 emergency line is going to be receiving all sorts of calls that aren’t really emergencies. At least this is my fear… anyone else have thoughts?
Because you called 112 WITH an installed SIM. That’s a no no.
The Gevey SIM you install with your SIM on top. When you dial 112, there is NO SIM YET activated. So the emergency Service got no number to call back. BUT, because the call got connected, the Gevey SIM can now calculate a way to connect your card to the network by injecting the network ID it just got from the call. The 112 call already disconnected. So, when you come back from the flight mode, the card sends the network code plus your SIM ID and pronto, you are on the network.
NEVER EVER dial with your activated SIM and Gevey, or a SIM with any other phone, 112 in a country that uses this number as emergency. It’s illegal (bar a real emergency of course) and is in some countries severely punished, all the way up to jail time.
With the Gevey of course you ALWAYS, every time you boot the phone or restart the phone, dial WITHOUT the SIM, since it needs this call to activate your SIM.
It is VERY unfair on the emergency service, those people are there to help. So there is a moral issue there, but not necessarily a legal one.
Chriss u r putting wrong info here..
The SIM u r gonna use in phone should b already activated in ur different unlocked phone to work with gevey..To put it short – The SIM should b in working condition already..
U cannot use non-activated sim card..& that’s the only drwaback of gevey..
Also , the 112 number does not need to be connected.. It should be dialled & hanged up within couple of seconds..no need to wait for call to get connected or go through ….
Sorry, you are wrong. Of course your Sim, the one you put together with the Gevey, is “activated”, but it is not on the network yet, because, your phone is still locked. When you dial 112, you are still calling without Sim, even if it is already installed, the Gevey is blocking it.
The connecting signal from the emergency call goes into the Gevey, NOT your Sim and when you switch to flight mode, it calculates from that signal and the ident of your Sim a code to enter the network. When you come back from flight mode, it connects to the network by using the code it got from the emercency call, this time with the network ident of your Sim. Together, these two codes get you on.
There is a third security protocol and normally the two codes the Gevey got are not enough tho get it working, but thankfully, this third code is rarely if never used.
As long as the Gevey got electricity in the Sim tray, the phone will work. Also, when you loose coverage (tunnel, subway “Antennagate”)it will reconnect as any phone would.
Only if you switch off or run out of battery you will have to repeat the procedure.
The trick is to hang up the 112 call BEFORE it connects or somebody pics up the phone. 2sec is enough. But even if you connect, they can NOT see your Sim yet, it is still blocked by the Gevey at that stage.

Hi Vini,
Can I have the mobile number of the Unlocker who could help me out to unlock my phone. I got the Gevey Sim and still finding it difficult to unlock my iPhone 4 on my own. Even after following all the instructions provided on the video I am getting the “Invalid SIM” in the place of signal bars.
Thx
Hey vini cud u tell us where u bought the sim from and for how much , i dont hav credit card what are my options. Thanks
I got it from a seller in Mumbai, the same guy uploaded the video on Youtube
Please help!!!! I Just unlock my i4 with Gevey sim now it work so good but I have the battery problem, before i unlocked my device it can stand by over one week but now i now i have to charge it daily!!!!So what should I do now?Any idea please?
Thanks
To explain this in simpler terms –
earlier u were not using it as a phone ( I mean to call or sms etc.)
Now since u have unlocked it the network signal searching consumes ample amount of battery. Ur talktime also consumes battery…
dont expect it to give u same stand by as earlier…
just keep it charging as required..there is nothing related to gevey…Gevey does not consume batter.. it is just a piece of hardware that sits in a sim tray…
Hope that helps…
Thanks Gp for your help! Would you tell me more about the battery problem?cos it is much different about the battery life time.does the jailbreak concern in this pro?
hello i have bought it and used it , but i dont get the message sim failure i get sim locked.
what can i do?
help plz
you have a PIN locked SIM. Enter you PIN code or better, disable your PIN code in another phone before using it in the iPhone.
good luck.
thanks m8. its working now
I HAVE UNLOCKED MY IPHONE !
please follow the instructions in the video shared above it might help
please anyone does this work in Pakistan!?? no one seems to respond to my questions
Mate nothing works in pakistan how can you expect this to work take care lol
in the states i use t mobile it was good with EDGE data but I am in Ecuador, Phone is unlocked but data service is not working 3g or EDGE.What Can I do? help
3G wont work with T mobile I guess but Edge should work.
Turn on the “Data Roaming” tab in network setting & check if it works..
you can go to unlockit.co.nz and mail yourself the settings for your carrier
Okay, the root of ur problem may b somwhere in ur activation method.have u activated ur phone with the original ATT sim or u used hactivation. The thing is if u have hactivated ur phone then once u unlock ur phone tries to search genuine push certificates and this process runs at background continuously.this consumes ur major portion of the battery.the solution is to use original ATT Sim or use SAM/push doctor for activation of ur phone.Google bout them to know more.on other side if u havent used hactivation then the problem will b different.check the first part first.
The above reply was for @Dunn
works pretty good on Vodafone Romania too!
Even i have unlocked my phone using Gevey on Airtel in Delhi. But i am struggling to have data services EDGE/3G work even though Airtel has activated. Can someone help?
Did u have to repeat the whole procedure again in an hour or so.
Turn ON the “Data Roaming” tab under network setting.
well, am a little more than novice user. so have done all that.. this is more of an issue with provider i guess, as am still able to run EDGE with APN but 3G doesnt require APN
hey dude ….
frm where did u get gevey sim in delhi
I bought it from ebay from a local india seller
Its confirmed by my friend and me that gevey sim works for about an hour and then there is “No Service” and error in the gevey welcome screen. You need to repeat the procedure again to unlock.
I think it’s useless. I wasted around $93.
I tried using gevey sim on different sim like vodafone and Three. But the problem persists. I get a unlock for about an hour and then it gets locked again and I have to repeat the process. I got my Gevey sim from US through Ebay. It came in original applenberry packaging.
where r u from???
India
for how much did u got it ??
I just got 5 gevey sims here in Mongolia for $80, so far it does work. The yellow sim part is a little bigger than the sim tray itself so we cut the yellow part a little and then put out sim on top them unlocked it…. we’ll see how far it will work…
dont tell me tht it just unlock ur ip4 for just an hour….hey gp is dis true??? as i hav already ordered 1 gevey sim…!reply soon
same here, using it since yday and no issues so far
really no..From whatever I am seeing I cant believe on this & there is no reason so far..All the folks from India have given positive votes..
@ Ronak dude I have been using my iphone since last 10 days and i am not facing any issues
Hey Vini, I have unlocked using Gevey. Can run 3G on it though from airtel? Do you know of the matter or can help anyways?
All settings are fine and airtel has already activated it. My freiend’s was a factory unlocked and 3g fine on airtel but mine an unlocked thru gevey one (at&t) isnt running 3g.
Did you activate the roaming mode on Iphone settings, if No please do it and try.
Kunal , activate “Data Roaming” under network settings..
As suggested by vini..that shd work..
kool hope i dont face any issues either…
@ Vini – yes i did but no avail
ask your customer care that i want to use 3g on my iphone can u help me, they may be able to help u
did u enter required APN settings??
Also , U should have already subsribed to data services..
kool hope i dont face any issues either…thanks vini
My iphone4 4.1 bb 02.10.04 is US AT&T locked . When i asked a vendor who has this gevey turbo sim for unlocking , he told me that AT&T locked phones can be unlocked only with Rebel sim & not with gevey . Is this true ???. Please help me. I wonder how he is so sure about rebel sim which is not even released !!! . Can i unlock my iPhone using gevey turbo sim ???
that’s not true kalli..”ALMOST” all the folks above were locked to AT&T only and they r able to use gevey without any issues..
Mayb the vendor u have asked is promoter/official partner of Rebel
Hey thanks for the information GP
. But i’m still afraid to buy this gevey sim 
.
I m sure thy guy must have ordered a big lot of rebel aim
Using since last week and works perfect. Already tried also on 4,3.1 – just nice.
There is easier steps to unlock. follow this.
Step 1. Turn off your phone, insert your SIMCARD and GEVEY SIM together with the metal SIM tray provided.
Step 2. Turn your phone on and wait for the SIM welcome menu and then select ‘accept’.
Step 3. Then wait 15 seconds, dial ’112′ then click ‘CALL’ and hang up within 2 seconds. (DO NOT LET THE CALL CONNECT.)
Step 4. Now go to SETTING, turn AIRPLANE MODE ON and wait until you see ‘No SIM Card Installed’. Then turn off AIRPLANE MODE; you phone should have signal after a few seconds.
I have one question regardingt his grevy sim before i purchase it
Do i need to do the 112 dialing only once and it will unlock for good? Or i always have to do the 112 everytime i restart my iphone?
when u reboot , u need to follow the procedure again as u lose ur TMSI which u have acquired by dialling 112..
Also , it really doesnt matter as there is really no need to restart iphone 4 every now and then…U have to just keep it charged always above 1%..and that’s enough..
lol i waste just 80 dlls in this fu… thing it doesnt work. buuu that s#ks, im going to get an android. lol
I follow all the steps and everything works perfectly until after i call 112 and toggle airplane mode, nothing ever works. I’ve tried the method of turning it on and off and nothing happens. I tried turning it on and waiting to see if the message “No SIM Card Installed” will come up but it never does. Help?
its the same problem with me, i dont know what to do. help…. lol
i habve the same problem…. why ????? can i cry ? hahahaha
hey, i bought the gevey and i don’t know why it doesn’t work for me!!!!!!!!!!!!! why??????? i’m gona cry…fuc*
my iphone is 4.1 bb 02.10.04 – does anybody know whats happening?
i bought the gevey sim yesterday and its working just fine, follow the steps carefully and with patience, and your iphone will work
alex listen, there are 2 kinds of sims: 1 that has fine lines and the other that has wide ones.thats what i’ve been told by the guy who owns the cell phone shop.i have the same, 4.1 and 02.10.04 and its working normally and even more than normal.man i wish u all the luck, and patience.
you have to follow the steps and try it several times… also how did your sim, interposer, and tim fit in?
i’ve tryied several times!!!!
i don’t know what is “interposer”… i just took my t-mobile cuted and it doesn’t work…
what i’m doing wrong Jae?
i’ve tryied several times!!!!
i don’t know what is “interposer”… i just took my t-mobile cuted and it doesn’t work…
what i’m doing wrong Jae?
Ok, tell me what’s happening when you put in you sim and start up the phone tell me where it’s not working..
so… i turn the phone off – insert the sim + gervey, them i turn on and after sometime appears the screen explaining me how to do – i press “accept”
i wait for 15sec – dial 112 and hang up…
go to the “airplane mode” turn on… i just wait a little and them i turn of…
every time the phone said the same “sim failed”…
so, i doesn’t work bro!
are you waiting after it says “sim failed”? from my experience I had to wait a little bit and I turn on airplane mode on/off until I get the “No sim installed” then I wait a little bit then it says “iPhone is activated” and the signal bars should come in.
@Alex and @deas –
There is no reason for gevey to not work for you..It is supposed to work ( & is working currently) for all current models present in the market.
Please follow the procedure properly , watch couple of videos again on youtube ..
Handle everything delicately & It should work..
This problem happened to some folks & that was due to — the chip of carrier sim was touching the black IC on gevey…It was shorting the circuit , stopping the gevey to work..so cut your SIM properly & delicately..
Hope this should help..
i’m gona try now… i write back soon!
bro, or i’m really st00pid or st00pid hahahahaha!
it doesn’t work at all
serious…. what i can do?

Im also having problems in the activation process. i followed all instructions and watched 4 or 5 youtube videos. I cutted my sim. Im using gevey yellow sim and gevey tray and my cutted sim. I get the accept message, i call 112, i put in airplane mode and wait around 2 minutes, i receive the “no sim message”, i put airplane mode off, then i receive the “invalid sim” message, then i click ok (i tried to wait like someone said here), then appears one little bar… then it starts “Searching…” and finally “NO SERVICE”.

hey Ronak , did u get ur Gevey???
no dude..not yet..it wil b delivered to usa at 1 of my relatives place on tuesday..den he vil mail it here to me..so i guess ill get it by friday…bt my uncle got it 4rm ebay by placing a bid n i got it for just 45$…n its a genuin seller..bt m not sure weather it wil work or not.i mean it shouldnt b fake as i got it for just 45$..Gp do u hav ny idea abt dis???
I can’t guarantee on that Ronak..I mean if it is from genuine seller then then it would work for sure..I ordered mine from applenberry which is official dealer of gevey & its working perfect…
Also , once u receive it u can always identify whether its fake or not…there are some characteristics listed on applenberry site about “conterfeit sim” …about the look & all..u can go through that & check..
hey GP i got the gevey bt its not workin m not geetin the accept screen….plz reply wht should i do…reply soon…
make sure ur sim is cut properly..Also it should b active sim ..I mean it shd b the one u r alreay using…

Hey roank even i faced the same issue.For that i almost removed & inserted the gevy sim for more than 20 times & then at one time it used to give me the message to Accept at start up of phone. Donno the reason for this but its happening for me every time .So try doing the procedure until u get the accept message

Hey Ronak , Sorry for late reply..I was busy & wasn’t able to read the posts here…
)
Regarding ur screen issue , it seems strange ..I havent heard about it or not experienced myself..
Just to guess —
Have u jailbroken ur phone ?? Have u installed lots of apps or themes with Winterboard ??
This can b one of the possible reasons ..
Try using gevey for sometime after restoring to latest firmware & dont jailbreak(if u can & r ok with it
But I can assure u that it is not related to Gevey by any chance..
Hey gp i …i got rid of tht screen issue by resetting all my settings to factory settings…now it works perfect…its awesome…n ya i hav jailbroken my ip4 n i also hav loads of apps n themes on it bt i vil delete or remove dem…n ya i hav been used to dis unlock process as m phone went off many a times…lol…n ya u dont hav to repeat d unloking process wer u go out of network it comes back by turnin air mode on n off…n as its qorking perfect m not looking forward to upgrade my phone….nyways thanks a lot man….cheers to u n gevey…!!!
Good to hear that.
I have Gevey on 4.2.1 BB 03.10.01 with carrier Telia in Sweden, and I had no problems to sync it with iTunes.
Has anyone tried it with v 4.3.1 BB 04.10.01???
Yes, it works. But now my iPhone got restarted and even after following the procedure it doesn’t work:(
I used the Gevey sim to unlock my iPhone 4, which was successful and lasted for 2 days when suddenly i saw ‘No Service’ along with the carrier tab missing under settings menu.
I restarted the phone to redo the Gevey sim instructions, but now it says No sim detected and theres no welcome message..
Toggling the airplane mode results in an Invalid Sim message…
Need help.
friend.. it is possible only with wrong usage of sim.. or wrong steps followed..
so now u can just buy new.. as it seems that that gevey sim will not work ne more..
No he’s right. Same thing happened to me I tried the procedure and changed the gevey sim a few times, but still no service
There are a number of things that can happen. First, do you use a micro SIM or did you cut it yourself? This is where 95% of errors happen. If you cut your SIM 100th/in wrong, it might get in contact with the tray and even if not, a spec of dust is enough to short the SIM over a few days. Also, if its not 100% cut, it can move over the Gevey and loose contact, for example if you dropped your phone or did some jogging. Here you have to realign the SIM with the Gevey.
Also, you have to cut a small part for the EPROM on the Gevey, here also a lot of problems occur.
Do you use a jailbreak? Depending on what, there are issues as well, as we see on loads of phones coming in.
Finally, there is the possibility of a faulty Gevey, just contact the seller , they are extremely helpful. But only contact them if you bought your card there, the reason why they charge $70 is, that they do supply service. If you got yours on e-bay, tough luck.
In general, these cards work, they sold by now in the millions, it’s only normal that there are some problems. In our store alone (and this is an official Apple Store here in Barcelona) we have had several dozen iPhones with Gevey and our “Genius” guys are quite good in helping them with these minor problems.
Good thing is, that most of these phones do not use any jailbreaks anymore, as the Gevey is not needing it, so Apple is indirect profiting on this, as people use the official app Store and not cracked apps of d0ggy sites. the vast majority of issues come from jailbreaked phones.
as always , nice info Chris
Well, i do have a microsim which i got after replaceing my existing old sim. So no need to cut it using a cutter other than filing it a bit to insert it into the gevey tray.
The same invalid sim mess. appears if insert a new microsim, so the gevey is damaged for sure.
So whats the guaranty of these mods if they aren’t reliable…
I have never opened the sim tray nor switched off the phone to test for diff. sim cards other than when this invalid sim error happend.
Rahul , just make sure U have activated ur microsim in other phone before using it with Gevey..
Is this Sim work in India. with a airtel Sim card
totally.. I m using one with Airtel..no issues so far in Mumbai…
Yes Its works for me.. am with Airtel. But the thing when you restart the phone, its not coming up as always, we may need to do the same exercise ( dial 112, plane mode off/on..).
tht’s what it says..everytime u rebbot..u have to follow entire process again..
Anybody know if gevey can be used with multiple sims (i.e. when traveling between multiple countries and having a different sim for each country)?
P.s. If ur getting the sim locked message after u insert gevey + sim, your sim probably has a sim pin that needs to be entered.
yes for sure..u can use it with different SIMs as they do not get locked to carrier..
hey is this gevey Sim work in India. with a airtel Sim card
gevey sim is awesome, its working like (turbo) here in lebanon..finally!
If I update my iphone4 to the latest firmware can I still unlock it using Gevey sim?
im getting “no sim card installed” message after 112 call, any solution? my gevey wont unlock!
Help Please-I keep receiving a “no sim card installed” message after my 112 call. I know that this question was earlier, but it was never addressed. Any solution.
I have the same problem. Can somebody help?
HI , im getting no sim installed right after i switch on my iphone 4, not accept msg, can anyone help me? thanx
If after booting up the iPhone 4, and you do not see the “accept” screen, make sure you have an active sim and that it is correctly inserted in your iPhone.
It should be 45 seconds.
I tried this on MTN, Nigeria but did not work, how long does one wait in the Airplane mode to turn it off and get a signal?
now it says No Service. In Setting , carrier, i see 3 major networks , MTN -NG; ZAIN-NG AND GLO-NG. When i try t link it says selected cellular network is no longer available and suggests i choose another network in settings
CONFIRMED, this works in NIGERIA
Edward, where did u buy the gevey sim in nigeria?
Bought from the USA, have in stock
How much?
I sell Gevey sim for iPhone 4 in Lagos, Nigeria. The price is N12k. My number is 08065656796. It works perfectly well.
N25k
Can someone pls help me. I’ve been at it for 2days. I get through most of the process but after “no sim cArd installed” msg I get full bars but my carrier Tmobile never displays. Also I’m using a new sim but it has been activated. Please helppppp
hey guys i wanted to ask if i loose network on my phone while using the gevey sim…eg. when i enter the elevator, when i am in a area where there is less coverage
DO I NEED TO PERFORM THE WHOLE PROCEDURE AGAIN TO GET THE NETWORK BACK AGAIN EVERYTIME????
yes , that is the drawback of gevey sim
ARE YOU USING A GEVEY?? is this the same issue with rebel sim??
is there the same issue with rebel??
Depending how much time you have in the elevator
The IMSI you get when calling 112 is of course temporary. As long as the card stays on the network, it will work. Some networks will renew after a time, anywhere from 2 days to a week, some will not. If the IMSI (the identifying signal to let your phone on to the network) gets changed, you will have to repeat the procedure.If you use a elevator or drive thru a tunnel, the signal will be picked up again like with any other phone. Also when you go into flight mode for a longer period of time (eg a flight 
)the network will be back after.
Only when you actually loose battery or switch the phone of you loose the signal for sure. Otherwise it will work like any other unlocked phone.
thanks a lot chriss
NEED HELP! I BOUGHT THE GEVEY SIM AND USED A NEW SIM (TMOBILE SIM BUT NEVER BEEN USED.) i CALLED TMO AND ADVISED THEM I WOULD BE USING NEW SIM AND GAVE THEM THE NEW SIM NUMBER AND HAD IT ACTIVATED. WHEN THE PHONE LOADS UP I GET THROUGH MOST OF THE PROCESS WHERE THE PROBLEM COMES IN IS AFTER I GET THE “no sim installed” MSG AND AP MODE ON/OFF. IT STARTS SEARCHING FOR SIGNAL AND I GET FULL BARS BUT TMOBILE NEVER DISPLAYS IN THE CARRIER FIELD. I EVENTUALLY LOSE SIGNAL AND GET MORE “sim failure” MSGS AND IT SAYS INVALID SIM IN CARRIER FIELD. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IM DOING WRONG??
dont use caps like that man , im not even going to read it …
thanks for no help iphoneblogger. as u can tell im frustrated i cant get this to work. the only reason i put caps was bc i previously posted same msg w no response. please help
It is difficult to help you when you are screeming around without giving any facts.
All you say is, that you have a non activated t-mobile card and that alone would explain why it is not working.
t-mobile can not activate your card without you having it in a phone.So, use your card in a normal unlocked phone and get it working. Then, deactivate the PIN. THEN put it in your iPhone with the Gevey. Remember, the iPhone has to be OFF!!! when you insert the Combo. If you insert the Gevey with your SIM while the iPhone is on, you can short the tiny processor on the Gevey and it will never work.
If nothing works, contact ApplenBerry where you bought the Gevey. They are pretty much the only ones where you get the genuine Article in the States, there are LOADS of fakes (check on there website)
Patience is a virtue here, in the end it will work. I got myself a cheap iPhone 4 on ebay 3 days ago because it was locked and people are so frustrated (I paid $140 for a 16GB) bought a Gevey and have a nice working phone now. Finally I can get rid of my sh** Android.
the turbo sim no find the company and say not service you cant help me please sorry for my english,,,,,solo español
WE need to follow the sequence, power off and ON, wait for the “accept” message, and dial 112 and hang up.. go to setting -> do Flight mode ON/OFF.. by this time we will get a message “SIM Card not installed” say “OK” and again do Flight mode ON/OFF this time you will get a message “SIM Failed” Don’t do anything the message will go OFF and get the network Signal.
If it didnt work… dont power off, wait for 5 Mins again it will ask for “Accept” and redo the same. Hope this help.
hey GP thanks…bt i tried everythin…the sim card is properly cut..d sim is active…infact i tried to use other active sim too bt d same prob..m not gettin the welcome msg..n d network goes searchin n den it shows no service…now wht should i do..????also i rebooted my device….m not geetin whts d prob…need help..reply soon..

Hey guys I have a serious problem I am unable to activate facetime, it always says waiting for activation is there any way to activate it.I am using vodafone in india and hv unlockd the iphone with gevey sim.ios 4.2.1 bb 03.10.04
thanks
No, the only way is via paid apps from cydia.And that is not working 100%. Why is face time so important? Use Skype, its free, works the same and you can even have free video calls with Windows user, not only Mac and iPhone/touch.
why everyone is talking bout gevey sim, but not rebel sim. Isnt rebel sim supposed to be better cause one blogger said it is the Untethered version of gevey sim. Is it true?
I wanna get gevey sim, but waiting to hear some review bout rebel sim before I make the purchase. Any suggestion?
To have a review of a rebel, it has to exist. But until now there is no such thing then a rebel card, just talk. If you know more, like where to get it, you should do a test yourself.
Same for the super Gevey, the card without the need of dialing 112, this also did not come out in the wild yet.
Hi
I’ve just ordered a gevey sim. My iPhone has allready been jailbroken with redsnow and greenpoison. Is it better/necessery to remove them before i install the gevey ? with a 421 restaure through iTunes ?
Thanks
not required..It works perfect with JB..
I have a problem, if i put Gevey SIM into iPhone, it needs PIN code. So, I write correct PIN, but iPhone can’t take it. Just say – Unlocking, and SIM card is still locked. There is no SIM Welcome menu. Is it normal? (please, sorry my english)
I disactivated SIM PIN and now it’s working
So I can confirmed, Gevey is working in Czech republic (O2). iPhone is from Austria (3).
Hi I am using t-mobile on iPhone 4 with Gevey unlock sim. That temporarily unlock my AT&T carrier. I might go to Canada. So I need to know if it’s possible to work with ROGERS when GEVEY sim is on my phone. Is it possible? I try to use ROGERS pay as you go service when I go there. Just need to know if ROGERS with Gevey sim allows unlock AT&T .
I have two questions for after unlocking with gevey sim:
- Each time I turn off the phone and turn it back on again, will I need to repeat the unlocking procedure? Because every time I turn it off and on the Gevey welcome message will come up.
- If I change my carrier and get a new sim card, can I still use it with the existing gevey sim? Is it as simple as replacing the old sim over gevey with new? Do I need to unlock again?
Thanks.
1) yes ..u need to repeat unlockin procedure..
2)U can use new sim with existing gevey..yes u need to unlock again with same method.
hi im pablo from argentina (corrientes) i have an iphone with IOS 4.3.1 and this F8&^K baseband 03.10.01..and I want to use this turbo sim unlock method..they tell me that it will work…i wanna know if i have to make the unlock with the turbo sim and then use mi iphone normaly with my microsim card alone(witohout this device) or i have to keep the gevey card inside with my sim all the time…. thanks for answering my silly quiestion :p
Adam, as long as it’s a sim card, it will work. I tried mine with tmobile and when I went to Saudi I tried it with an STC sim and it worked fine
Alp, 1. u would have to do the same ugly procedure EVERY time the phone gets turned off. However, if u respring the phone, u won’t have to unlock it, it would already be unlocked.
2. YES, it will work with ANY sim card. But you would still have to do the unlock procedure everytime u change sims
Pablo, you would have to leave the Gevey sim inside your phone with ur aim card at ALL times, else it wouldn’t work.
guys, I had the Gevey aim on my T-Mobile with firmware 4.3.2 for more than a month now without any problems. Just remember to NEVER turn it off
I have a sim card that requests pin code and that cannot be disabled. Can it be used with Gevey?
This is for iPhone users from Madras ……………. please stay away from the shop named Radio House located at Ritchi Street near Mount Road in Madras. they are selling fake Gevey Sim and not ready to take back the duplicate item.
Hi,
I faced similar issue in Bangalore, please dont buy turbo sim from National market shop name called Sai telecom. Its not working properly when u power OFF and ON.
It works for about an hour and then I can’t call anyone have to turn on and off airplane mode again what the hell? What’s wrong help
I am a seafarer working in a cruiseship, everyday we move in different places & different carrier network and I’m my using a roaming sim card, do I need to repeat the procedure when I move to another network & even I’m not rebooting my phone? Is it gevey sim works also to MCP network? We use this network everytime we are at sea. Thank you
Can be a problem..thing is u might see a full network on ur phone but folks wont be able to connect u as the new network servers at new place might not be able to locate u..
If this is observed then u must reboot & follow unlocking procedure again..
If your Phone is blocked by a network, will the Gevey sim work?
no
Hi. i have bought a gevey sim and installed it every thing is working EXCEPT outgoing calls from my ph. its on vodafone delhi …. plssss can any1 help me.
im not able to make outging calls its showing call failed
I have used Gevey for several weeks now in Sweden with Telia as service provider and it works just fine, the only thing is that when someone calls me it only shows the phone number and not the name of the contact. Is thera any way to go about this problem???
Try to edit your address book and put the caller’s name on it. If you have subscribed to a caller ID service, it should automatically register the name, if the caller has a post paid SIM. If pre-paid, only the number will show, unless you put the name on the address book.
Hi, I have bought a Gevey Sim, when i turn on my iPhone, i have a message “Sim faillure” and never receive a welcome message…
I have no pin, 3g is off, data on.
4.2 modem 02.10.04
What can I do ??
Make sure your microsim is seated properly on the gevey sim circuitry. All contact points must touch the microsim and must be flat and snuggly fit on the sim tray. Use a file or sandpaper to trim your microsim after clipping it with a nailcutter.
Yeah it works ! That was the problem, maybe it was not properly (cuted?!). I asked yesterday for a new microsim and I have properly cuted, follow the instructions and now it works. Thx
One thing that this blog didn’t mention is that you need to do some cutting and filing of your microsim in order for it to fit correctly on the gevey sim tray. I use a nail clipper to trim my microsim so that the top end where the chip is won’t be covered. I filed the sim to make it straighter. I also filed the bottom end of the sim so it would fit snuggly on the tray.
It’s kind of frustrating because I thought my microsim wasn’t compatible. Please do mention in your blog how to file and cut the sim. I’m sure many of us new buyers would like to be aware of it.
Hi
All who have started using Gevey Sim has anyone faced any problems of network loosing out every 2 hrs?? I Started Using couple of days back but every 2 hrs i have to repeat the procedure again as i loose network even though i am a in full network area and the welcome screen pops up.
Its a pain in a.. as u never know when u lost network and then again spend 10-15min doing the procedure.
99% of the problems are usually on the positioning of the SIM on the gevey tray. All contact points must touch the SIM and there should be no gaps whatsoever. It should fit snuggly. Make sure you clean the golden contact points of any dust or grime.
I tried all that but still no luck..
Whr r u from??
This problem is not observed much. However tr this.
Once u do unlock procedure , go into settings -> Carrier
Change ur mode from Automatic to Ur fixed carrier by choosing it from the list.
Wait for the list to pop up.It takes while to show all available carriers once u enter into ‘Carrier’ menu.
hurehe…now my i phone works perfect using Gevey sim.
have to reset your phone by holding down the off button an the home button at the same time until it turns off. then turn back on and do the steps. should work.
my gevey card worked with my iPhone 4 version 4.3. however, my Internet does not work. says safari cannot connect to the Internet. I even called tmobile to change my internet services. please reply
try turning off 3G
thanks, that worked. I just had to call customer service again to refresh my phone.
hi
Mine is also behaving the sameway infact i have noticed it happens at every 1.30 – 2 hrs even if am at the same locations.
signal drop issue is very irritating infact i got my phone started after a wait of 6 months and then u have to keep on checking every 15 mins if the network is still thier..
Any one has a solution pls help.
Some people are say Gevey what u get in india is all fake and some suggest to switch to idea or airtel as this problem is their with vodafone only.
In order to isolate the problem, please put your microsim to another mobile phone to see whether the same problem exist. If it exist, then it’s the SIM that is defective. If not, then the gevey sim is defective. You need to return it with the seller.
Another way is to have another microsim and check whether it’s working. If yes, then your former microsim is defective. If not,the gevey is defective. You need to return it to the seller stating that is is defective.
Thanks GP, Ronak, KK and others that helped.
For anyone on MTN Nigeria here, I had a problem with once I dialed the 112, the phone would show no sim right before hanging up so I couldn’t get it to work.
here is what I did, I made sure I had my settings already running in the background before dialing 112, I dialed, hung up then quickly switched back to settings by double clicking the home button. I went straight for airplane an toggled. even at that time, it had showed the no sim but I noticed there was still a bar of signal and I got “sim failure” as well.
toggling the airplane back I got searching and voila I had MTN nigeria working on it for the 1st time since I had been trying.
BTW, I was relying on sbsettings airplane google before now to help with the toggle but I noticed that won’t work for people whose phones would show “no sim card installed” once they dialed 112.
I hope this helps some people.
May 21, judgement day
Well done Tronix from Nigeria !!!
Although our phones were both AT&T phones bought together, my friend, who is on Vodacom found the Gevey to work easily, whereas i am on MTN in South Africa and I have struggled all day. My friend tried many times with my SIM, but unsuccessfully too.
But once I read your trick I managed to get into Airplane Mode quickly enough and after 8 months my iPod has finally become a proper iPhone. Thank you for sharing your trick with us

Hi,
First of all a big thanks….!!! GeveySIM worked perfectly on my iPhone 4 (4.1) bb 2.10.
But when I inserted my 2nd SIM (primary), its showing INVALID SIM, though I have repeated same steps many times.
Can you please help. I need this urgently, as I already cut my primary SIM and now I am not able to use it.
u need to call tmobile and put ur service back on ur primary sim card.
I have bought 2 gevey sim neither work any suggestions I never get the accept screen
You always don’t have to wait for the Accept screen. Once you get the 1 bar signal, dial 112 and follow rest of the steps.
I am not able to access Cellular Data Network after unlocking through Gevey Sim. I have tried updating APN setting. But no luck.
Do reset network setting
and restart
then put in the APN .
Steps I followed:
1. Reset Network Settings
2. iPhone automatically restarted
3. Followed all the steps for Gevey sim to work (dial 112, Airport ON/OFF)
4. Got the Network signal
5. Network -> Cellular Data Network -> Cellular Data -> put APN and rest blank; MMS-> all blank
6. …. Still no E sign on my iPhone…. not able to connect to net
Please help.
make sure ur 3G is disabled. and then u must call customer service and let them know that ur Internet isn’t working. they will refresh ur phone. and they will tell u to turn off ur phone and once u turn it on, it will work for sure. I had to do just this.
i manage to use the gevey sim and it’s amazing but i’m a little worried of something. after i successfully finish the steps on using the GEVEY sim, an emergency sign, telephone with forward arrow, shows up. is it something to worry about???? help me guys.ty
i forgot to mention. everything’s fine, i have a signal, i can use the phone, but i’m just worries about the emergency call sign, phone with forward arrow sign, that is next to the signal of the service provider…
I have a gevey sim for my iPhone 4 and it’s not working..I did jailbreak my iPhone 4..do I need to restore my iPhone 4 so the sim card would work
mmm no you dont have to restore, just do all the steps very quickly dont wait for the time the instructions says, i try and try doing the instrucctions but it doesnt work with my iphone 4, so i just did all the steps very fast and ITS JUST WORK!! try it!
Does it work on 4.3.1 bb 04.10.01?
Yessss
Thanks you
My iphone 4G remains on 1 bar after upgrading from 4.1 to 4.3.3 and jb it. What can be done?
Can I jailbreak my Iphone 4.2.1 bb 3.10.01 after installing the Gevey sim? Will this affect my service at all? Which jailbreak is best? Greenpois0n or RedSnow?
thanks in advance
After upgrading my firmware to 4.3.3 and Jailbreaking i am only on 1 bar though it worked. I used for about 4 days and i had to reboot and till now i can seem to make it work again. Shows me the Accept screen , i follow sequence as i have always done but no luck.Whats happening, my sim is ok as i tested on my Nokia
No 1 bar is not enough, Any way do the following:
1- After jailbreak do a network reset
2- switch off your mobile
3- make sure that sim+Gevey in a confort place on the try. and put it in.
4- switch on the mobile.
5- follow the Gevey procedure.
6- You will find all bars showing up
I belive it will work since it make the sambe problem with me before.
Regards;
Thanks M8,Are you suggesting i jb without the Gevey and sim in the phone when doing so?
u can jailbreak with both in ur phone. I did
works fine.
Thanks Evelyn87, i have done it both ways and its same thing. Gets all the sequence right but won’t give me the signal , stays on 1 bar but no carrier. Strange thing is that i have been using the fone before and after upgrading it, just that the bars reduced from the 4 it was before the upgrade
Works at last!!! but still 1 bar
hahahahahahahaa, 5 barsssssssssssssssssssssss, too good to be true. thanks Y’all
Hey, my Gevey sim card I ordered online just came in today. I have spent at least 4 hours trying to get it to work without any success. When I power the phone off and then one, I just get the regular “no sim” message, with the slide button. Also, I do not get any bar at all. Even after toggling the airplane mode on and off, nothing changes; “no sim”. Seems as if the phone isn’t even recognizing my gevey sim with my tmobile card in it. My tmobile card still works well on my other phone, and an att card I have still get recognize on the iPhone. Just seems like something is wron with the gevey/custom tray combinination. What can I do? Please help !
Any1 got a problem with picture messages? Mines unlocked with gevey sim and works gr8 except for picture messages, can’t send or receive :/ can any1 help me please?
