    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked/modified/jailbroken to work

    with wireless carrier other than the one it was purchased from. The

    update has relocked it to the original carrier. Contact the original

    carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify - only the

    carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.

     

    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?

     

    Be advised that the previous modifications to change from original carrier

    to your local Carrier may have rendered the software unable to be

    officially unlocked.

     

    Try removing the sim, cleaning the contacts and re-installing. Get new

    sim from your wireless provider.
