iPhone Using Gevey to Unlock without the White Sim

[ohsoasian]

It's been a while since I unlocked my iPhone with a Gevey. I am overseas now, but I forgot to bring that white sim that was provided with the Gevey sim.

Is there any way I can still use the Gevey to unlock a new sim since I am overseas? Or will I need to get another one of those white sims?

Nobody knows?

Probably not without the white reset sim

Why not spend a few dollars for an IMEI unlock from grey market dealer.

A few dollars? Don't those cost upwards of $100?

They're $10 all over ebay now

The white reset SIM is only needed if you switch phones or if you don't have a Verizon iPhone 4S.

I have a Verizon 4S, and the only one I can find on ebay is $140. Am I searching for the wrong thing?

What do you mean by switch phones? I have the sim from my home country in my Verizon 4S right now, and it's in roaming mode I think. Can I just get another sim while I'm overseas, put it in, and it will work just like that?

An unlock for a CDMA phone only unlocks the sim slot for International sims as far as I know.

So if I used the white reset sim once, and got the gevey sim working, does that mean I won't have to use the white reset sim again, even if I had to switch sim cards?

Yeah, that's what I read as well.

Read the Applenberry website.
As I read it, the white reset sim can be required when switching carriers

I own a GEVY SIM Ultra S myself and the white SIM is to only program to the original carrier. Once that has been programmed, you can switch through as many SIM as you like.

So in your case, it sounds like you already have done that given you told GEVEY SIM that your original carrier is Verizon.

Once that is done, you can switch between all your other carriers without needed the white sim.

The only time you would need the white sim again is if you we're to switch phones.

I never thought it would happen, but the Gevey SIM CDMA will not take on the 12th iPhone 4S 5.1.1 that I've tried to unlock. I'm officially quitting after 7 hours. I lost about a full day of work thanks to this iPhone. I'll just take the $100 loss. It's just in a repeated Searching...Gevey Accept...No Service...Searching...Gevey Accept...Activation Required...Gevey Accept...No Service loop. I would just restore it to 5.1.1 if I had shsh, but I just bought the iPhone a few days ago.

My humble opinion is that the GSM antenna is damaged as this is my 3rd Gevey SIM on this iPhone 4S. I'm just gonna restore it to 6.0 and sell it to a Verizon customer.
