Before proceeding to the unlock procedure, let me clarify some of the widespread misconceptions about Gevey SIM:

• Gevey SIM has no effect on the battery life of your iPhone.
• You do not need to jailbreak your iPhone 4 before using Gevey SIM.
• Gevey SIM never slows down your iPhone in any way.
• Losing signal for 2-3 mins will require you to redo the unlock procedure again. Losing signals for some seconds have no effect on the unlock.
• To unlock your iPhone using Gevey SIM, you must call 112 for atleast 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, you can safely drop your call.

Steps to Unlock iPhone 4 on iOS 4.1/4.2.1/4.3.3 Using Gevey SIM:

STEP 1: Navigate to Settings » General » Network and turn OFF 3G. Keep Cellular Data and Data Roaming option ON. Make sure there is NO unofficial SIM present in your iPhone SIM tray at this time.

STEP 2: Remove stock SIM tray from your iPhone

STEP 3: Put Gevey SIM interposer in Gevey SIM tray.

STEP 4: Put unofficial iPhone SIM on top of Gevey SIM interposer.

STEP 5: Turn OFF your iPhone by pressing the power button on the top.

STEP 6: Put Gevey SIM tray along with Gevey interposer and unofficial SIM into your iPhone.

STEP 7: Turn ON your iPhone.

STEP 8: After turning your iPhone ON, you will see SIM welcome message. Tap on the Accept button to continue. At this stage, you will find 1 signal bar in the status bar of your iPhone.

STEP 9: As soon as you will tap on the accept button, you will see Searching... and then No Servicemessage on your iPhone. Do not do anything yet. Wait while 1-signal bar reappears on your iPhone status-bar. Once you see 1-signal bar, dial 112 from your iPhone.

STEP 10: After exactly 2 seconds, tap on the End button to hang-up the call.

STEP 11: Go to Settings and turn Airplane Mode ON. Do not do anything until you see No SIM card installed message. As soon as No SIM card installed message pops-up, tap on OK button to close the message and turn Airplane Mode back to OFF.
