Maybe the mods want to make this a sticky - not my call.
After spending hours, surfing, reading, asking, surfing, reading and asking more I believe I have the final solution to this problem. It may sound easy, but unless you know, you're unlikely to try it. I found the answer buried deep in a little known local iphone forum.
Firstly, it is my understanding that if you register your phone as a 'New Phone' you should not be getting the message 'new sim detected' after you've jailbreaked and unlocked.
People that register their new phone as an old phone (like I did) could/will encounter the dreaded 'new sim detected'. connect to itunes' after they jailbreak and unlock.
I obviously did the former, registering my new phone as an old phone. I was able to jailbreak with no problem but the unlock would not get passed the 'new sim detected', even though it was clearly showing as unlocked as I could see Vodafone scrolling.
Here's what you do...
Taking your registered as an old phone, jailbreaked, unlocked device, JAILBREAK AGAIN!
This is not 'hacktivation' and therefore will give you no push email problems. Hacktivation is only if you jailbreak BEFORE registering your phone, which of course, in this scenario, you've already done (as an old phone).
So, I hope that helps. It took me several days to piece it all together. Now I feel I can finally give back to these forums.
God bless,
JB
