Does the iPhone need to be reactivated when a newer version of ios comes out or when it is restored?

I just bought an iphone4 and I just wanted to know that if I updated this iPhone or if I restored it that if it would ask me on my phone to insert a valid SIM card. I'm asking this because my SIM card isn't a perfect fit in this phone. Thanks. Btw I'm asking this cause I have ios 6.0.1 and wanna upgrade to ios 6.0.2 if possible

iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1

If your Device has not been Officially unlocked by the Carrier it is Locked to there is every chance that it will fail to activate after an update.


If Officially Unlocked... you will have no issues.


However you state...

This would indicate that the Device is Hacked...



If this is the case... Then...


Sorry... But...
