Any chance the SIM is loose in its mounting?

It looks to me like there is a bit is wiggle space in the SIM slot.

One of my kaisers uses an old sim where a layer of laminate had been peeling away. This meant that when I inserted the sim, the loose laminate folded back on itself and acted as an insulator between the brass phone and sim contacts. So I removed the offending laminate but still had the occasional "no sim installed". The problem was that the sim was now a little thinner. I applied pressure to the centre of the metal belt that holds the sim in place ensuring that the contacts were "always together" and have not had any problem since.

I hope this simple solution works for you.

ANother thing you can try is rubbing the gold portion of the SIM card on your jeans or clean it off with a pencil eraser. I had that problem, and it stemmed from a little corrosion or crud building up on the face of the SIM card, and by rubbing it on my jeans it cleaned the corrosion off and the sim was able to make good contact with the points in the card slot.

Sometimes sim cards go bad. I've had about half a dozen go bad out of about 40 devices that I have supported over the last couple of years. AT&T acts like it's a common occurence and no big deal. I just take the device to one of their storefronts and they replace it immediately.

Did you try unplugging the battery, put the sim card and then reinsert the battery and start?

hey just wanted to say thanks. i just added a piece of paper between the card and the metal part and it worked. just wanted to say thanks.

I had the very same problem today after putting a brand new sim in the phone.

Found that I had put the damn sim in the wrong way round. Oops.

[bornwild]

I had the exact same problem and in my case, putting a piece of paper in did not help at all. I had to get a brand new sim card. :)

i had a similar problem. it couldn't read my sim card, but read my gf's tmobile sim card and her phone read my sim card fine. then i next day i took it to an ATT shop, asked for a new sim card and it worked perfectly fine now. even the guy from the shop couldn't tell me what is the problem, he said, it happens every now and then.
