    Do a factory reset? It deletes everything but it's worth a try

    If that doesn't work, sound like a phone problem

    Bring it into an apple retailer or a phone shop

    Was it factory unlocked?

    This could be the cause of your problem

    Did you upgrade to 5.1.1 just before the problem? Did you buy it new as a factory unlocked phone? If not was it factory unlocked or jailbroken and unlocked?

    If if was not a factory unlocked phone and you upgraded to 5.1.1 then you will have to wait till jailbreak and unlock comes out to unlock it again.

    Resetting netwok settings, location on the airplane mode for 2min fixed it.
