Ask your wireless carrier.

Where did you acquire this iPhone? Common scam

is to sell iPhone in working condition so buyer can see

it works, then seller reports iPhone as stolen/lost for

insurance claim. Insurance company works with

cellular provider to blacklist the iPhone and suddenly

it no longer works.

Or is your iPhone still locked to a wireless carrier as

you imply in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5001327?tstart=0

Well I bought this on contract (orange UK) but unfortunately due to some circumstance I left UK and that broke my contract, recently when I updated my phone it got locked. I gave my phone to an apple service centre in India and they told me they unlocked my phone but still it doesn't show any sign of network.

Apple service centers cannot unlock an iPhone, only the carrier (in your case Orange) can do so.
