I have a setting where I lock my SIM card on my iPhone each time I turn off and on the phone. When the phone enters into its normal state, i have a passcode for the phone, then it asks me to unlock the sim card. Now the problem I have now is I have restored my iPhone since I thought maybe restoring it might make a few bugs its had would go away and with the update that was recently released, it might be a good idea. Now it is asking me to activate my phone using an UNLOCKED AND VALID SIM CARD. Well, my SIM is locked because it had to turn itself off and on and it wants me to put in a SIM that is unlocked before it can activate. What do I do? There's an easy fix.Do you have another GSM phone laying around?
