Review:

I’m very happy with the price and performance of this product [after a bit of sweat - more on that later] since I’ve been waiting since last October on hopes on the Dev Team solution for an unlock [I'm on T-mobile]. This thing does just what it claims. I’m on T-mobile and unless I have to reboot or totally run out of battery life, it has remained ‘unlocked’. Going through the same procedure will re-unlock it if you ‘do’ have to reboot, so it’s no big deal…

On to the ‘sweat’..

First – After purchasing a sim cutter, I still had to cut an ‘L’ shaped notch out of my sim card to allow it to lay on top of the Gevey interposer device without interfering with the rectangular transistor. [I used a pocket knife for this very carefully not to cut the copper circuit board, but straight nail clippers would probably be better.

Second What 'I' did wrong.. I assumed that cutting the top left side switch in effect satisfy this procedure putting my Iphone 4 in airplane mode .. I was wrong. You must switch airplane mode on and off through the settings menu via software.

Third - What the company did wrong.. The onscreen instructions that appear on your Iphone when you click 'Accept' are different from the written instructions that come with your Gevey Sim.. The Written instructions are correct..

Fourth - More ambiguity from company flyer. The sim card and gevey device are both yellow in the flyer, making it hard to know which to put in the Gevey sim tray first. It's like the colorless diagram 1st - Sim Tray, 2nd - Gevey Sim, 3rd - Your phone carrier's Micro sim Card.

------------------------------------------------------

With the exception of cutting the 'L' shape out of my simcard so it would fit, following this video was what put me back online with T-mobile.. Hope this review helps.. -Jeff

UPDATE: If your battery life is terrible after installing GEVEY, it's NOT the card, but the hacktivation method.. SAM [Subscriber Artificial Module] worked for me. GREAT battery life now.

ALSO important: on the 112 dial step, translate ‘within 2 seconds’ to mean ‘as soon as the red ‘END’ [call] button appears, hang up. Won’t actually connect, and works great.
