Have you rung your service provider and activated your sim card? It is important to have the phone turned off while doing this. If you haven't changed your number, turn the old phone off too (just in case), and ring them to activate your new sim. You have not posted whether you are using your old or new sim, but judging by the other people with the same problem, this sounds like the case. They will want the serial number off the back of the sim card to do this.

When you place a new or a existing SIM card from another phone provider into your mobile phone and it asks for a Security code then :-
This phone is locked to the original mobile phone provider. You need to contact this mobile provider to ask for the unlock code (security code) for this phone. You need to provide proof of ownership etc and the phone's unique IMEI number which is located inside the phone under the battery. They use this number to generate the unlock code for your phone.
They should provide you with instructions on how to enter this code into the phone.
Once you unlock the phone, then you can insert a new SIM card in this phone or sign up with another phone provider using this phone.
You could ring the phone provider and ask for the unlock security code because you are going overseas and wish to use your phone with a prepaid SIM card from another country. This maybe a free service.
The other way to get your phone unlock is to use a phone unlocking company on the Internet, they usually charge a couple of Dollars for their services. Use Google and search for "Security unlocking code” for phone unlocking companies in your area.

This is because many Blackberry Storms included the Vodaphone SIM card for when you are traveling abroad. Since you do not need it for using the phone in the US, and the SIM has not been activated for international use, you can remove it. The error message will not hinder the performance of the storm, but the message is rather annoying. It is located in the battery compartment, just below the battery and to the left of the memory card slot. You will need to remove the battery in order to remove the SIM card. Keep it in a safe place in case you ever need to activate the phone for international use.
