t-mobile Sim card not valid

I'm on t-mobile. I didn't get on with the L6 motorola phone and so i
bought a nokia 6630 on ebay. It's got a t-mobile brand on it, but when
I put the sim in I get the error message "Sim card not valid". I've got
various Three network bookmarks and icons so I think that the last
owner changed the phone's network. How can I change it back to work on
t-mobile. The phone comes with plenty of downloaded games etc so I'm
loathed to upgrade the software from the nokia site for fear of losing
them.

Any help please

Sounds to me like the 6630 is locked to the three network. I believe the
only way to unlock this phone is with the unlock codes from three.

Sounds like it's blacklisted to me, or possibly locked to three. Either
way you've been had.
