Issue is the phone is not really 'unlocked' its been hardware hacked and the hardware hack is not working. The issue is the Gevey Sim is IMHO fragile and some claim a POS. IF it hasn't been updated to the latest ios he could 'jailbrake' it to sim UN-lock it and resolve all issue for the time being.
Just trying to understand the terminology, but by "hardware hacked" are you referring to the Gevey SIM card? Also, my understanding of the term "jailbreak" is that allows one to install non-Apple approved apps, but is there something about jailbreaking it that would SIM unlock it as you say? Not exactly sure I understand what you're saying.

So if it isn't unlocked, how does one unlock it? When I google unlocking an iPhone, I get a lot of sites selling software that supposedly does it, but why do I have a suspicion that most, if not all, of those sites are scams?
