hello there,as I am completely new to smartphone arena (belong to a 3rd world country for sure 😛) I am buying a used gevey sim iphone 4s (ios 6.1.3) from a person,but I don't know about gevey sim,and couldn't find appropriate links and lay-defintions of terms like "baseband" etc,is the gevey process safe? any chance of Bricking the phone? and also is there any way to permanently unlock a gevey? please help me,kindly provide me links And also "your" own experienced go at it,my heart is really beating faster 😀 cause it is my first major investment of my father's money (I am a teen actually)


P.S: I don't have money to buy Iphone 5/4s/4/5s NEW and their are no carrier phones in my country...please help
 
Gevey can't be unlocked, only the iPhone itself.
Gevey is cool, there's no bricking the phone, only problem is that you must know the version of Gevey you own and if it supports the latest iOS (that's the baseband thing you mentioned).

I am using a X-Sim (alternative of Gevey) and the version I have supports every iOS until now. Only problem is that on my version of it, iMessage and Facetime don't work. I don't want to spend money just to update the X-Sim. For any new versions of iOS... I have to wait to see if it will be supported
 
You can pay for an IMEI unlock instead of a Gevey to have your iPhone unlocked basically permanent and the best possible way.
