iPhone 3GS can be downgraded from iOS 6.x to iOS 5.x.   Lets Unlock iPhone

The iPhone Dev Team has released RedSn0w 0.9.15b2 to fix problems faced by iPhone 3GS owners and also to offer baseband support for the iPad. iPhone 3GS owners can downgrade from iOS 6.x to iOS 5.x, provided appropriate SHSH blobs have been saved.

A blog post reads: "Version 0.9.15b2 fixes a few issues for 3GS owners: old-bootrom awesomeness is no longer forgotten directly after a restore, and iPad baseband upgrade /downgrade support is fixed (same production date cutoffs apply!). If your 3GS is currently tethered at 6.0 even though you have an old bootrom, just re-run redsn0w's jailbreak step (no need to restores). Don't forget you can add some pizzaz with your own boot logo or a nerdy verbose boot."

iPhone 3GS users looking to downgrade may follow this tutorial. IBTimes UK warns readers it will not be held responsible for damage to the device during installation. Ensure all important data has been backed-up and the battery has at least 80 percent charge.
