Interesting... I wonder if you were in an older market with an original
SIM and phone that were not on the USA-410 network. Cingular sent you a
USA-410 SIM to conform with their new single network designation, but
your phone was "SIM-locked" to the original network, and you PUK-ed it
up when it really wanted a network unlock code (that your local store
is unlikely to have).

This seems really odd given the number of SIM-locked phones out
there... you think Cingular would realize the potential problem and
entice you to get a new phone (and pop the new SIM in at that time).
I'll have to keep an eye out for this since I still have a USA-150 SIM.
