Yes, you may be using, but your phone is telling you it is locked to a carrier if the new sim card you are trying to use is not supported. Perhaps the carrier you used in Kuwait has a carrier lock on your phone.

The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a service provider that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported service provider or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your service provider. Please contact Apple for more information.
