Hi, I recently updated my iPhone from an iOS 7 Beta to the actual firmware which was released. I struggled with the updating, getting error after error on iTunes until it finally let me update. Now on the setup screen for iOS 7, I get as far as sim card verification where I encounter this error:
"SIM Not Valid; The SIM car 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."
Now, this sounds like a routine "unlock your phone" answer. But the problem is, the SIM card was working perfect up until I updated to iOS 7. Right now I just want to be able to use my phone, even if it means downgrading to iOS 6.x.x. Is there anyway I can possibly bypass this? Can it be unlocked from its current state or do I have to downgrade? Any suggestions?
