Hi, I have an iPhone which I bought off the internet last year.

The phone is locked to T-mobile so I got a gevey sim off you.

I rang T-mobile and they said that I am unable to get my phone unlocked to any network as there is a IMEI mismatch.

Is there anyway for me to get my phone unlocked people?

Any advice would be very helpful!!!

I'd be enquiring as to what the problem is before worrying about the unlock.

I want my phone to be unlocked to any network so I can put my 02 sim card in it.

I have a gevey sim card but its a nightmare having to keep unlocking it.

Aren't Gevey sims illegal? I'm pretty sure thats something to do with the emergency services.

As I thought, Gevey sims are 100% illegal.

Buy a legitimate iPhone. If there is an IMEI mismatch then the phone is stolen and someone has tried (and failed) to change the IMEI.

Typical "i bought it odd eBay" story you get when handling stolen phones.

I am in no way accusing you of theft
