I have some friends that bought a french iPhone 3G and paid an extra 100 EUR to have it unlocked. When connecting to iTunes with a Danish SIM card though, iTunes says something along the lines of "SIM card from unauthorized provider". But they paid Orange (official iPhone provider in France) for it to be unlocked.

How are you supposed to use it with another provider in another European country? Is it at all possible? I have found contradicting reports on this. Someone said you have to register the IMEI somewhere.
