Ok, i unlocked my phone, i got the anysim to successfully work, and finish. I also did the jail break me and that worked, and then i updated back up to 1.1.2. Everything went fine, but then I for some stupid reason updated the installer on the phone, and then i downloaded some new wallpapers from the installer, and then everything got messed up. Now everytime i try to unlock , anysim is telling me no sir, we cant unlock this iphone. Any reason why?

"updated back up to 1.1.2"? is it 1.1.2 OTB? if so, then it can't be unlocked. otherwise, if it was 1.1.1 OTB i would restore it and start the process over again and see if that works... but maybe someone else here would know a more specific way of trying to fix it

If you read the actual post, he mentions his phone was previously unlocked, so no it's obviously not a 1.1.2 OTB.

With regards to the original post, the reason it won't re-unlock is because the iPhone remains unlocked after running anySIM 1.2, it even survives restores.
What you just need to do is downgrade back to 1.1.1 or 1.0.2, install Oktaprep and then update to 1.1.2 and Jailbreak and your iPhone should be up and running with your Sim.

so what your saying is dont reinstall anysim? Because I have already restored the phone back to normal with 1.1.2 . So do i need to reinstall anysim?

Here are the directions i have for unlocking my iphone, its the clearest and bests i have ever seen.

You do not need to unlock again. Anysim 1.1.2 will hold through the restores and updates.

but anysim is not on the screen anymore is what im trying to tell you. I did a restore back to normal just like i bought it brand new. So what im asking is with anysim not installed at least where i can see, is it still on the phone in the backround or something?

Ok, so tell me what to do step by step please with knowing this

also, id like to know once it is unlocked, which services can i use on it that is prepaid with free nights and weekends? I know att has the go phone service which is prepaid with nights and weekends, but is there any other service that has better rates? I dont want a phone bill because i will need to put down a deposit with every company.

ok, i cant get it to upgrade to 1.1.2 now. I get an error on itunes everytime. So then after the error, the only option i believe i have is to just restore the phone back to new. Something is really wrong here.

ok, i got it to upgrade, i went out and bought a tmobile side kick, which i plan to resale on ebay with no sim card, got activated with new service with tmobile, and now i cant get the tmobile sim to work. I did the jail break and it said it completed fine, and the phone rebooted, but the tmobile sim doesnt work. I still got the same message with anysim 1.2 that anysim can not unlock the phone. The first day i tried it worked, but i messed it up some how, and now everytime i try to unlock it it says it wont do it. I was told to reinstall Oktaprep and update to 1.1.2 again and i did that ok, along with the jailbreak, but still no tmobile service working. How can i get this to work. This has been a hell of a week and still no success
