      Whatever the original carrier the iphone was on just stick in any sim from the same network... or you can try Subscriber Artificial Module (SAM) method which will require you to jailbreak using Redsn0w 0.9.6b6...

                You can buy activation sims dependant on the model.

                3GS:

                iPhone Activation Sim Card

                4G:

                Micro Activation Sim Card For iPhone 4 - iPad - iPhone 3G - iPhone 3Gs

                  Probably 02 you can get sims for as little as a pound,check your nearest newsagent,then just keep old of it.
                  What firmware/ baseband are you on now?.

                    i agree,, only the original sim will activate the iphone, had same problem here and because of that i keep a selection of sims from each entwork just in case..

                    ps anyone want to buy/trade a 3gs 16gb in black on vodafone for a 3gs 8gb in white on o2?

                    regards
