Gevey sim for iPhone 5 is out.

Just factory unlock it for 5 dollars on eBay.

why would you use grevey sim when you can just unlock your phone for like 3$

Not all factory unlocks are that cheap. For Canadian carriers, it's over $100.

Gevey used to be great before we had IMEI unlocks. Not the case anymore.

Hey guys, seems like gevey sim has made a sim unlock for the iphone 5. I never used any kinda sim unlock before so are they reliable? Will it mess up your phone? It's called gevey r-sim 6

You might be mistaking the IMEI unlock on their site. As far as I can see. They have no Gevey SIM for the iPhone 5 just yet.

Actually the website is gevey3.com , is this like a gevey imitation or something?

The only authentic website for gevey is http://www.gevey.com ( http://www.applenberry.com in the US).

If you needed it unlocked why didn't you just buy an unlocked one from Apple?

Yeah, it's IMEI unlock for AT&T iPhones only. Not a hardware Gevey SIM.

Interesting things about their service:

1. Their website does NOT do any IMEI checking. I put in the IMEI of my already-unlocked iPhone 5, and it just adds it to the cart.
2. They include a free lighting to USB cable with each unlock order, which is kinda neat.
3. Interesting bit of language on their site: they claim that for "returns or illegitimate purchases" they can re-lock an iPhone. This would suggest that iPhones, once "factory" unlocked, CAN be re-locked.

Waste of cash, factory unlock from Telus in Canada is $35. Only requirement is 90days of service and your account has to be in good standing.

Not a far cry from the many third party unlock checkers returning all iPhones (even factory-unlocked) as "locked," as a ploy to get you to use their unlocking service.

That proves they're overcharging for their unlocking service.

This is why bona fide factory-unlocked/authorized unlocked iPhones are selling for a bit more (at least on ebay) than "unlocked" iPhones by other means, including third party unlockers.

Get the factory unlock. The turbo sim, while safe, can be locked out on iOS updates, and has in the past. A factory unlock will reamain forever. For a 20% price increase, you have no future headaches.
