I believe if it wasn't compatible, the radio would've been messed up when you or whoever updated it to the iPad baseband (6.15.00) in the first place

But i contact with IMEI unLocker they said that iPhone 3gs must be on 5.13.04 for factory unlock!
A factory unlock means that apple servers think your phone is unlocked. This would be independent of firmware/baseband on your phone. If your IMEI unlocker insists you must be on 5.13.04, then they are lying and not giving you an IMEI unlock, but rather software unlock that needs
1. Jailbreak
2. Unltrasn0w
3. Inability to upgrade or restore iOS
Thanks for helping so when im going to do IMEI unlock it dosnt matter on which iOS and baseband im using right!?
That is correct. If you truly got a legitimate unlock (can only be done by the carrier of your phone, but grey market vendors have an 'in', so it can be done by unlockers, but are full of scammers), then you can legitimately restore to 6.1.3 from itunes using official firmware files, and still be unlocked.
So if your unlocker is telling you baseband, ios, firmware, blah blah, then they are charging you money for something that is free on the internet.
So if they can do that so i can also do that for free on internet instead of paying for factory unlock tell me how to do please thanks
I recommend researching on the internet unlocking, baseband, firmware, jailbreaking, ultrasn0w, redsn0w, new bootrom.
Just because it is free does not make it easy.
iclarified.com has a lot of great resources.

But beware, you can mess up your phone REALLY bad and end up with an ipod. So make sure you understand everything and its risks before you attempt to do this.
This baseband downgrade works well. All though those who are having problems with reception, try and remove mobile substrate and ultrasn0w, then re-install them. Que up mobile substrate and then install ultrasn0w.
All though now if I could only figure out why I cant send txt msg's and why the ones I do receive are blank
