I'll try to keep it as brief as possible to bring everyone up to speed with my situation. I had a legit iphone 3gs while living in the states, however I was stationed overseas, I thought great I'll use my iphone there. To my surprise, this isn't allowed, I was told I'd have to purchase one of "their" iphones. I looked into jailbreaking/unlocking and took that route. Everything went fine, their simcard worked on my phone and all was well.

Fast forward to current day. I'm deployed for six months and for some reason I cannot connect to wifi's anymore. I've had a jailbreak since 3.0 and I've even stored all of my shsh files with both cydia and rock. After jailbreaking to 4.0 didn't fix the problem I decided just to run the apple update to the newest software legit, and if there was still a problem, they could fix it. I figured I could just jailbreak my phone when I got back home from deployment in six months, there'd definitely be a new hack by then.

Here lies my issue. After updating to the new iOS 4.01 the phone wants to be activated using my american sim card. My American sim card is back at home with no way for me to get it. I've tried to take all of my safety measure over the past year of jailbreaking my phone, can any of these help me out of my situation? All I really want is for my phone to work on wifis so I can skype my family back home. I have no care if its jailbroken or not until I get home.
