Most likely cause of that message is that the

iPhone is locked to a wireless provider other

than the one whose sim you are intending to use.


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

You may have to scroll to see the entry for Carrier.

To check if iPhone is locked to a Carrier, put the sim

you intend to use into the iPhone. If you get no error

message, the iPhone is not locked to a wireless provider.


There is a section in Settings called Carrier Lock.

Settings>General>About and scroll down to Carrier Lock.

If the iPhone is unlocked, it should say 'No SIM restrictions'.

If you get a different answer, the iPhone is locked.
