have you unlocked you iphone?
mine is unlocked using a t-mobile (UK) sim and works fine when syncing..
First I did jail break and enabled SSH using iNdependence. Then I did this unlock:

At first things were fine on my iPhone, I was able to place a call using the T-Mobile sim card and receive text messages. But now, a few days later I'm trying to sync for the first time with my T-Mobile sim card installed and I'm getting this message in iTunes:
Additionally, I've noticed that my iPhone no longer recognizes the T-Mobile network in the upper left corner.
Any ideas? 😕
PS: I also get the following message on my iPhone when ever I power up:
"Incorrect SIM
Please connect to iTunes to reactivate iPhone." The only buttons it gives me is to "Dismiss".
I can still use the iPhone's other functions, just not the Phone (haven't tried texting).
you may have to do a restore (back to 1.0.2) and then re-jailbreak/unlock etc..
i followed the instructions from modmyiphone.com and they worked a treat..

Alright I fixed my problem. The problem seemed to be 1.0.2 restore file I downloaded. I re-downloaded it from another site and it worked great! Restored my firmware and all my problems are fixed!
