Aha

It can take upto 24 hours to be fully activated. Keep rebooting the phone every hour until you get connected. If not back up and running by the morning get onto CS to check for you again.... Phew !!!

Go into settings >about phone and see if it has a device id and IMEI number listed....

That's good news at least. Is your account paid up to date and have you checked service checker for any issues in your area?

When you changed your sim did you get your account swapped over to the new sim ? This is probably something really simple but I'm missing it at the moment, sorry....
