Why still use a sim patch
solution for iPhone while other unlocking methods
available?
- You already using a
jailbreak & activated iPhone with version 1.1.2 or
below.
- You are going
abroad for holiday or for business with your iPhone
& do not want to carry a pair of scissors with you.
You simply put the local country's sim card
into our
FirstSim
tray & insert it into your iPhone & start using the
new network to save roaming cost.
- You feel unhappy
because your sim card has been cut or you have join
a new network, and now you do want want to cut your
new sim card anymore!
- You want to unlock
your iPhone safely & do not want to downgrade the
bootloader of iPhone , which it is known to be
dangerous & can brick your iPhone which is not
software repairable. Downgrading the bootlaoder is
not reversible & will void your iPhone warranty!
- Other unlocking
methods are good as well but they have to downgrade
your iPhone bootloader which may not be compatible
with future iPhone new upgrade. We do not know will
iPhone new firmware refuse an older bootlader or
now, so it is not so safe!
