Why won't my iphone4 accept my SIM card (previously in use) after a restore?
My SIM worked fine in my phone until I did a restore and now when I attempt to set it up I get a 'SIM not valid message'

iPhone 4
After a Restore I got this message
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported. The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
Answered in your other post. No need to post more than once in this forum.
Hi, I read the response to sona jee's post and am wondering how, without being able to get into the phone, the carrier would be able to unlock it? (Aside from emergency calls there is only access to the setup process: choosing language, region, and network, before getting stuck on the 'SIM not valid' message.) Also, my phone was unlocked by the carrier, does this mean they hacked it? (There's no other way this would happen?)
It was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was locked to. It was hacked. Legitimately unlocked phones do not re-lock.
The unlock process involves the carrier it's locked to communicating specific information about the phone to Apple, where it goes into a database as 'unlocked'.
So I need to go back to the original carrier and get it unlocked properly. Is there some way to verify it's done right this time?
Yes. That is what you need to do. Keep in mind that a previously hacked phone may not be able to take a legitimate unlock any more, depending on what damage was done by the original hack.
Here is how it's done: How to unlock your iPhone for use with another carrier - Apple Support
Thank you very much, hopefully it works.
