1-be sure to backup
2-be sure if your iphone factory locked, you only can use factory micro sim
3-there is teather jailbreak with unlock if you want
4-most important---- if you want unlock please update your iphone without upgrading baseband

That signifies that your phone was not unlocked through a jailbreak. Keep in mind that outside of the US, it's much easier to purchase an unlocked iPhone, or even have your carrier unlock it for you.

If I were you I might try talking to the place that did your first unlock. I don't mean any offense, but it seems like there are some parts that you aren't entirely sure about (every phone has a baseband, for instance, but which one it has can mean the difference between locked/unlocked--yours is listed in Settings>General>About>Modem Firmware).

Updating and keeping an unlock isn't always easy if your phone isn't factory unlocked. Do you know offhand if your dealer used a Gevey SIM?
