    Remove the Jailbreak, Restore then upgrade.

    If it is factory unlocked you won't loose your unlock by upgrading to iOS 7, so any sim will still work.
    You will definitely loose the jailbreak (ability to add 3rd party apps like those from cydia), if you upgrade to ios 7.
    The jailbreak may take some time before it becomes available,
    so for now, you have to decide which you prefer:
    (a) new os,
    Or
    (b) jailbroken apps.

    I like new tech, so upgrading to ios7 was my choice.

    U can go straight and upgrade ur Jailbroken iPhone to iOS7 and ull be ok. It worked for me.

    But its recommended than u remove the jailbreak before u update to iOS 7.

    Keep in mind that if ur unlock dependes on the jailbreak then u will lose ur unlock after u update.

    Eject your sim and see if there is something below the sim (givey). It's pretty cheap to check the unlock status but well it still will cost you. You're save to upgrade to iOS7 if there isn't. You will loose the jailbreak but trust me iOS7 is real good.
