Call your carrier for assistance... They have to do something from their end to resolve that... They might have to give you a new SIM card or register your Bold to the Network.... But out of Curiosity, hoe did you get it to connect to your home network with out a SIM card????

I guess I should have asked that question first before trying to assist!
