[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1381449"] Yeah, it sounds to me like the phone wasn't unlocked. Your "special additional SIM card" is most likely a Gevey SIM, which does a hardware unlock and is a PITA in newer phones. Depending on what iOS version and baseband you're running, there may not be much you can do for the time being. If you stop upgrading the phone whenever a new iOS version comes out, there should eventually be a solution for truly unlocking it. [/QUOTE]
