Based on the fact that A) as soon as your phone registers on the netwrok it reports the version you are running; B) that this appears to be a problem on multiple carriers; C) that I and many others are running pirated copies of the OS successfully, I was just saying I highly doubt that RIM is disabling SIMs.
I think the idea about RIM intentionally leaking the OS would be more likely than this scenario.
Any other person with knowledge of systems administration could back me up on how easy it would be for RIM to actually do this if they wanted to.
Ill just leave the topic of my old sim card and phone out of it, cause my writing sucks and is already confusing enough.

You could be right.. but who knows.
