3 SIMs are fine. You just need to follow these instructions to enter "3netaccess"

Where as with 3netaccess you get your own public IP address so it's useful for VoIP, P2P, VPN etc.

Sorry to be the pessimestic, but go to the APN settings, and enter '3services' then browse in Safari to http://three.net.au (You can only get here from a 3 SIM card) then take a screenshot and post here :-)
Hold down home key then hit the lock/power button, the screenshot should be in your photos folder now. for the screenshot

He says restore. When it goes through the initial activation it will receive the carrier unlock.

I'm on the phone to Optus, they are saying my sim might be too old. I might try the restore as I'm not confident they really know what they are on about.

OK
Basically, once you get the SMS..
- Turn off the phone
- Put the 3 sim in
- Connect to iTunes
Special thanks to my buddy for those instructions.
