this will happen to those who thought their iPhone 3G is so called "legally unlock" from Hong Kong, and in actual fact, it is those locked iPhone with turbosim implanted in them and sell them as "legally unlock iPhone" (as indicated by their iPhone model in the very same thread).
I saw a post in the links posted, it sorta tells you if your Iphone 3G is using some sorta sim-hack tools.QUOTE(taken from the apple support post)
It seems this may not be an Apple Problem. My legally Factory unlocked phone may not be so legal so I have discovered. My phone hardware may have been modified similar to the ones that use a sim card modifier. When the baseband (modem firmware in Settings>General>About) is updated along with 2.2 then it stops the hack from working. Going back to 2.1 doesn't take the Baseband back.
To check if yours is a fake factory unlock see the settings page and the items should be Airplane Mode, WiFi, Carrier and Fetch New Data. In the fake ones "Carrier" is missing. .....mine's missing. If you have a fake one and didn't upgrade to 2.2, then don't, ever.
I hope this helps not just only newbies like me. Sorry if this is a re-post from somewhere, or in the wrong post.
