Help with unlocking from att to tmobile sim

I have been using my iphone with att for a long time for services, and recently switched to tmobile due to better recption where i live...its also cheaper...i have already did the 2.2 jailbreak and unlock...but i did not unlock with the tmobile sim card in it, at the time of jailbreaking and unlock, i did not have tmobile yet. My question is, do i have to re do the whole thing with tmobile sim card in it for it to work, or can i just run the quickpwn and select unlock with the sim card in it? Or is there something else i have to do to make it work. What i dont understand, my daughters iphone will accept any sim card she puts in it, but mine always says "new sim card inserted connect to itunes to activate", i bought her iphone from a friend that was already jailbroke and unlocked with the 2.1....why would hers take any sim, and mine wont???
If anyone could point me in the direction i need to go, or give me a helpful link...i would appriciate it a bunch.

If you did indeed unlock it, it should be fine and take any SIM card. And no, you don't have to redo it with your new card in there. Once it's unlocked, it's good to go.

Sounds like you didn't unlock it. Try restarting the phone with the tmobile sim in it.

Everytime i have used quickpwn i selected the unlock option, and i tried to restart the phone with the new sim, but it still wants me to connect to itunes, but the top left corner shows tmobile with the connection bars...so do i have to do something in itunes to get this going, cause thats all it will let me do at this point.

And it says "different sim detected please connnect to itunes"

I used att during unlocking, because at the time i wasd doing the jailbreak for 2.2 i did the unlock also, and i was not using tmobile yet. I actually just switched carriers today...so i have the tmobile sim card in the phone, so should i just restore and re jailbreak/unlock all over again with the tmobile sim in it? I was hoping it was going to be easier then losing all my stuff.

There is a guide here that will help you out with Pwnage tool and also get you by that pesky itunes. You have to choose Activate iPhone. There is a newer version of Pwnage that does it through the Simple mode as the guide tells you how to do it with Expert

http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/452...59.TPB.torrent

That link is from the dev team at

blog.iphone-dev.org
If you are worried about the links. Its a torrent file so if you are not familiar with torrents i'll see if i can find somewhere online to download it from. Heck maybe its here somewhere i dont know. But with that the option Activate phone is needed so it will skip itunes which is described in the guide here
