Omg arrgghh help!!!

I have a second hand iphone, had it for all most a year now.
All was working perfect until this afternoon.
I have "no service" in top left corner and the error message "RESTRICTED NETWORK-your selected cellular network is restricted. you can choose a different network in settings"
I have tried a O2 payg sim, my contract voda sim, and a orange payg sim all are the same. I have tried my voda sim in a old nokia phone and it works fine sugesting a fault with the phone.
Anyone came across this before, or know how to fix it?
I have restored and unlocked/jailbroken using Pwnage and its still the same

Please lord let not my iPhone be Knackered!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try holding the Home button and the On/Off switch at the same time to reset the phone.
