    Hi all,

    Just bought a second hand, unlocked and jail-broken iphone. When I put in my sim card, a message comes up saying SIM LOCKED with the option s lock or unlock.
    When I unlock, i am asked to enter my pin. When I enter my pin, I have no reception and cannot make or recieve calls. I am on the o2 network and am wondering if the phone is unlocked or not??

    Can anyone help?

    Any chance there is one of those Turbo SIMs or Rebel SIMs in the iPhone?

    Sounds a bit odd.

    Can you post up a picture of what you are seeing?

    With the unlocked phones ur not able to have a sim pin, so try putting ur sim card into another phone and taking the pin off and try it ,

    I changed the sim pin as reccomended. When I am in the details section, it says in Network : Not Available and also Carrier : Not Available. No Service is at the top left corner.
