Help How to bring up g1 Unlock screen?

I have an unlocked T-Mobile UK G1, I followed the instructions for rooting it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480) not realising that would involve a factory reset which would reapply the lock.
It won't connect to Virgin Mobile UK and it doesn't ask for an unlock code!
I'd be very grateful for any help.

Turns out Virgin Mobile had disconnected me!
So please ignore the above, but any information about the following would be great...

Turns out they logged over 1GB of data traffic in a few hours!
I'd connected, the phone auto-sync'd, I'd downloaded telnet. Possibly it had sync'd again after upgrading. Nothing else. Now way is that anything even remotely resembling 1GB of traffic.
The online bill shows them charging me
