Unfortunately since the phone came from the US, it is carrier locked to AT&T — it cannot be used on other carriers.
What they would have done for it to be usable in NZ for that period was a hack, specifically an jailbreak and subsequent unlock.
Basically, your phone will not be usable until one of the various iPhone hacker groups release an unlock for the latest baseband. This may be a long time, if ever. It's a real shame you weren't informed of this and knew what the update would do.

You don't have to triple post, just edit your first one.
No, there is no way to unlock a locked phone unless the carrier supports unlocking. Magnum Mac will not do this, it was a lie.
