You won't have to ask when it's not a fake. Everything out there right now is fake... literally everything.
Some time ago, Apple dramatically reduced the amount of baseband code in their firmware updates.
In addition to this, they have improved their ability to find and remove the exploits previously used for baseband crashes.
So, this is why there has not been a new software unlock since baseband 1/59.xx (almost 2 years ago)
Anyone who thinks that there will be a sudden software unlock released for the basebands not covered by Ultrasn0w is just hoping against hope.
It has been rumored that a sim interposer solution for 4.11.xx is in the works.
Time will tell.

There has not been an unlock by software methods but there has been an unlock via interposer. If your statement was true, you would think that they would have patched the baseband for iPhone 4S or the newest 4.11. software. It seems it's about to be broken once again by the gevey people.
I've read this comment about 15 times and have no clue what you are trying to argue about.
Care to clarify what you think dhlizard said that you think is incorrect?
What do you guys think about this that came out yesterday: http://pastebin.com/c49weFQR. Is it another fake??
Can you guys not phone the carriers to get the phones unlocked? Here in the UK the carriers can unlock the phone. o2 for example require that on PAYG the phone has £15 of credit on it, or on Contract be 3 months into the contract.
I had a factory o2 locked handset and filled out the form on the o2 website and got a text a few days later telling me to put a different SIM in and plug into iTunes. Did that, and now the phone is unlocked and accepts any SIM card (hot swappable).
Does this option not exist in the US?

Option doesn't exist... sadly

nope - go ahead. You'd be the first.
But seriously... don't do that.

Seriously folks, when it's unlocked, you are going to know about it because it's going to be front page news on every single Mac/Apple website.
Until that happens, there is an extremely high probability that whatever you find is fake...and beyond that a waste of your time.
Posting things like "You think this is real?!" or "Has anyone tried this?!?" is so not necessary and the fact that you are posting it should probably be proof enough that it's not legit... and to be a bit blunt, it's getting old. Now I understand everyone is extremely anxious to have an unlock for this baseband, but come on folks... show some patiences, common sense, and dare I say maturity here.
I've had an unusable iPhone 4 for almost 6 months now. Like AppleJuiced has said about 45 times now, either sell it now or just keep waiting.
No, but I found this which is similar but was posted earlier. Maybe this site copied it???

This thread should be locked.
There's no point discussing about software unlock options (like ultrasn0w) for any iPhone that came out after June/July 2010. That's getting close to two years now!!!
There's currently no Gevey unlock for baseband versions above 4.10.01. If you have a new iPhone bought after June 24, 2011, you're totally out of luck for Gevey (like) unlock options too.
