In other words, the SIM may work on their network, but sometimes they won't consider the device authorized.

With that said... good luck! This would be cool if you could get it working.
This seems a non-sense to me. After all, there are many cell phones, unknown to carriers.
Also, i believe that carrier only knows IMEI code of the device, not the manufacturer/model number.
