To me it sounds like this phone is locked to a specific network. Is it for a different carrier than the one you're trying to use it on? If so, to check whether or not it really is unlocked or not, go to Options, Advanced Options, SIM Card, and then type in "MEPD." You won't see anything showing that you're typing, but it will show a screen with a few things. You're looking for "Network." Next to network, if it says enabled the device is not unlocked. If it says disabled, it is unlocked.
