Christopher, As I understand it, your cellphone network provider routinely updates hardware and software in their system. As a result of this, occasionally older SIM cards may not function.
I am told that this is somewhat routine, and that when this happens network providers simply provide a new SIM card. Thus we recommend that you contact your provider (NorthState), and request a replacement SIM card. Before you discard your old SIM card please update our database at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FreeRunner_unable_to_work_with_3G_SIM_cards. Then, when you get the new SIM card, please indicate whether this new SIM card solved the problem.
