so i bought this iphone 2g 16gb off of my friend
he had it jailbroken and unlocked and a whole bunch of pictures
so i wanted to restore it , i restored it and it told me to add a valid sim card
i bought a go phone activated it and used that sim card
it detected it
then the screen looked like as follows
it said:
itunes logo and said to connect
and their is a slide for emergency calls
i can make calls and recieve calls with the prepaid sim card
i connect it to itunes and it says activating
and after it says that it can go through and to contact att or customer care

You need to unlock it to use a go phone sim card when you restored the phone you un did the jail break and un lock

how would i go about unlocking it when i cant even access the basic features?

Search the forums can use redsnow to jailbreak it and use a app in cydia called ultraslow to unlock it .. It will bypass the activation screen when you jailbreak or if u can get a actual att sim from a friend to borrow for a sec just to activate to get passed the screen then you can see what software is loaded and what baseband.
