iPhone unlockers and buyers beware about the newly released Gevey SIM unlock for iPhone 4 for up to iOS 4.3.1 and basebands 2.10.04, 3.10.01 and 4.10.01. The iPhone dev team member MucleNerd, has announced on his twitter account some bad news about Gevey SIM. MuscleNerd said that Gevey SIM is illegal in USA and probably other countires as it dials 112 (emergency) then hang up.

One of the steps in unlocking your iPhone includes dialing 112 and hanging up within 2 seconds. 112 is an emergency number in US and this may change depending on your country. In US, when you dial an emergency number, it may get routed to 911.
So if you are hanging up on a Government Protection agency even before they can take your call. This action is very much ILLEGAL in US. If you are lucky you can get away with it. Otherwise you may be in trouble with the Police.
This is what he has announced on his Twitter account:
From his tweet:
That “dial 112 then hang up” in gevey http://is.gd/FGNeJi is illegal in USA, and probably other countries. Buyer beware.
Unfortunately, MucleNerd confirmed that there is no way to make Gevey SIM method legal.

Its funny to see how people beleive everything they read online! When a devteam member shouts that gevey is illegal, you will see many sites posting about how terribly illegal the gevey sim is. Do you people not see that this is just a gang war: The software unlockers against the hardware unlockers. Devteam’s method is certainly not more legal then the hardware unlock method. Think for yourself: Do you think Apple likes the Devteam hacking into their iOS devices and adding functionality that Apple itself doesnt want.
About Gevey: there is nothing illegal about it. Yes you have to dail 112 to activate the Gevey unlock. And NO you dont let it connect! You simply press 112 and hang up way before it connects! ( yes it is illegal to dail 112 and wait till it connects, but there is no need for that at all) Ive been using my gevey sim for over a week now and im quite happy with it.
Perhaps one day ill be using the Devteam unlock method again.
Both are quite nice for a simple user like myself and i apreciate both Gevey and the devteam for the contribution to the iPhone scene. Just dont fall for the things that they shout about eachother in their war in who is best/fastest to unlock the latest iPhone
