Here it is. My fried sent me her old iPhone. I live in Bulgaria and I am currently using Globul. I went through the process of jailbreaking and then unlocking my iPhone 3G, and now I want to switch SIMs. But, everytime I take the old AT&T one out and put my GLOBUL one in, the iPhone goes into emergency call mode or something and I can't do anything. What do I need to do so that the Globul SIM works in the iPhone? Answers are MUCH appreciated!!!

The iPhone 3G will require a 3G sim card. Go to a store and ask your cell phone provider for a new sim and use that. Sim cards are free.

iphone needs SPECIAL SIMS (1253 type in place of usual of 1200 or 1201) as well as being form approved operators. The globul SIM is probably a std 3G SIM, I have a SIM from an approved operator but it wont work in iphone as its a 1201 type. the easiest way is to restore the iphone to official firmware and instead buy a SIM overlay that converts ANY SIM to an authorised one these have a small chip on a flexible PCB (you need to cut out a small bit of plastic from your SIM corner to add this) it sits on top of the SIM in the holder and acts as a go between..
