I ordered an iPhone 3gs online, in the title of the product they wrote "unlocked". i wasn't smart enough to understand that it's not factory unlocked, but cydia+ultrasn0w unlocked. anyway, i got the iphone and i upgraded it to ios 6 by a mistake. that's when i found out that it's not unlocked. i checked on some imei check sites, and i realize that my iphone is locked to at&t. So i used that service that many ebay sellers has to offer, and i "factory unlocked" my iPhone. the day after, i checked on every imei check site possible, and it says everywhere that the iPhone is unlocked. But... still i can't activate it, even when i put at&t sim, both if i try wireless or through itunes. even if i jailbreak to pass through the activation screen, it won't read any sim i put inside. if i try to activate wireless it says that the servers are temporary not working or something like this, and if i try via itunes it says "there's no simcard in the iphone you're trying to activate.:mad: if anyone already encountered the problem or knows what to do.. please help:eek: me! im desperate:(.

-i tried restore.
-i tried to use another iphone 3gs simcard holder (that plastic piece that you put the simcard on it and then you push it to the iphone)
