Activating iPhone 4s - NEED HELP

[xcroptic]

Hi All, first of all my name is Andrew and I am new in here and sorry if this is not the right section of the forum


I am from Malta and recently was in the UK and bought an iPhone 4s from "The carphone warehouse",
I Bought it as a factory unlocked phone from Apple so I can use it anywhere. (and i paid for this too)

When I came here in Malta I tried my SIM and was unable to activate the iPhone.

I checked the IMEI online from various websites to see if the phone was locked to any carrier that I did not know about, but all the results showed this:

So if its unlocked why it's not activating?
