    sim reg failed either means:
    a) sim card hasnt been registered or is expired - if it works in another 3 phone then it isnt this
    b) phone hardware problem (doubtful)
    c) phone is barred - most likely -esp as it is from ebay
    ask 3 cust services and they should be able to tell you if it is blocked.
    if it is then file ebay claim and paypal claim if poss (unless he will refund you)

    it should still work on 3 even if you have used all your code tries (you only get 3) only way you could get a working code would be from 3 database
    the phone can be reset to get the 3 attempts back but not cheap and i dont think that is the problem - i still think it will be barred
