Ask your cellular provider to unlock the phone if they are able, and if they will unlock it.

OK, first - typing in all caps is the equivalent of yelling at people.
If your device is disabled, then you will need to follow the steps in the link below that best apply to your situation. If you do not have a backup in iTunes or iCloud to restore from, then I'm afraid that you will lose whatever data you have on the device:
iOS: Device Disabled
Best of luck,

You contact Koodo and ask their terms for unlocking
According to Apple's latest info they do offer unlocking from their network

Apple does not unlock phones. The carriers do. Once unlocked the phone can be used with any SIM that will fit in your phone. Contact your carrier.

How do I set up my phone to use in Europe

how do I set up my phone now that i am in Europe and not in the USA

If it's an unlocked phone, there is nothing to "set up". Just put in your SIM and fire it up.
If it's locked to a US carrier, then you're out of luck. The only GSM carrier in the US is AT&T and they will not unlock iPhones under any circumstances. Verizon and Sprint use CDMA. They will unlock the SIM for customers in good standing to use for international travel, but if service with them is terminated, the SIM slot will be re-locked.

How can I dial to a phone number using land line, internal PC modem and LabVIEW 8.2

I will start to write a LabVIEW 8.2.1 program which dial to a phone number using my Dell Inspiron, Windows XP. Does any body have an idea how can I do it? or better if any body have a vi ready.
I will appreciate your help
Thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The link Somil provided is very good.
Neddless to say that you need a modem. And the modem's user or programmer's guide.
Most modems have the same command structure, however, there might be some nuances depending on the manufacturer and the model, hopefully taken care by the driver. Oh yeah.. You'll need the driver.
I remember reading some posts and possibly some examples somewhere in this forum. I'm sure a search will reveal a lot of information.

How to tell which GSM band phone is using

I've looked and can't find any info on this...is there a way to tell which of the 4 bands the phone is using and/or a way to pick which band it's using?

The band in use is based on the network you are on. You have no control over it and no real need to know it. In general for a given location there is only one band that is available. The following Wikipedia article discusses bands:

How can I unlock my UK phone for AUS use when sourced from UK Apple Store (so without service provider to do it for me)?

So my Aus iPhone that I had unlocked to do a bit of travelling went for a swim in the Med- my service provider back home informed me that in order to claim on insurance internationally that I should get a new one from an Apple Store and send them the bill etc etc. I did that, and all was fine with the rest of my trip on a prepaid UK sim. Now I am home and want to put my AUS sim in (where I am under postpaid contract) but my iPhone is not recognising it, with an error message of 'Invalid Sim'. My service provider cannot help as the product was sourced from Apple originally and not them. Can someone let me know how this can be fixed?

Okay, so if you purchased your iPhone from an Apple store in the UK then it is fully unlocked. Apple in the UK sell fully and officially unlocked iPhones, so you should not have a problem with inserting any sim card into your phone. The phone will be unlocked as long as you purchased the phone in the UK for the full purchase price and not as sim free rather than unlocked.
Have a word with your provider, as there could possibly be a problem with your sim card. Get a new sim card and try that. There is no reason why this should not work on an unlocked iPhone.
