Edit : I checked that site u gave about virginizing, it tells about 0049xxx numbers but my IMEI starts with 011... And I jailbreaked my phone but didn't unlock it so i cant still use it as a phone.
By the way... my friend says that I should take the iphone to the store of my GSM to activate it with iphone, does unlocking solves those issues?

i don't think it really makes a difference. From what you said, I gather you did not buy this iPhone straight from Apple? The way I look at it as long as the IMEI on your phone's software matches the back cover, then it shouldn't be a problem. Also, unlocking it will not solve this issue. The IMEI fix that I told you about it only if you had a pre 1.1.1 iPhone and your IMEI was changed due to unlocking software. That never happened to me but it did happen to some people (I've had mine since 1.0.2).
Also, depending which GSM service provider you are going with for your SIM, they usually will not offer unlocking services. That being said, there are exceptions to the rules.
What firmware do you have? Did you buy it privately (from someone) or was it from a store (internet or brick & mortar)? Was it brand new with the plastic wrapping still on? This may shed some light as to why the IMEI on your box is different to the one on your phone.
