    Hi, I am looking for some advice on jail breaking. I recently bought an iPhone 3GS, which was jailbroken. Up until now it was running fine in iOS 4 Software, until today when we decided to upgrade it to iOS 5 software. Now it will not accept the SIM. Does this mean it is locked again, and if so, can I re-jailbreak it again? Personally I don’t care if the phone is jailbroken or not, but I just need it to be unlocked. Also, I am not sure which iOS 5 software version has been installed.
    Help would be much appreciated.
