SIM card failure? - bucketobolts - 06-16-2009
Anybody ever had a SIM card to fail in a cell phone? I set my phone on the dresser last night about 9pm all was fine. Get up this morning to put it in my pocket and have a "Insert SIM card" message. Swapped my card in my sons phone same thing. But his card worked fine in my phone. It must have been over loaded
cratchhe:Guess I'm going to have to carry it back to the phone store to get another card programed. Looks like I just lost all my contact #'s. If anyone want to send a PM with your #'s I'll update when I get it fixed.

I haven't had that trouble in a long time... if it's a motorola/nextel phone... use an eraser on the contacts of the sim and it should come back... if it's verizon, I hope that you have their online contacts backup service...

I have a Samsung phone. My service started out as CTC, a local company, then it was Cingular...Then AT&T and now who knows?
My contract has been up for a couple years. Unless they renew automatically. Maybe it is time to go service shopping?

Eraser trick might work... never tried it on a samsung though...

Just tried the eraser trick. Nothing:crying:
I tried the card in an old Motorola phone we had in the back of the junk drawer with no luck. I'm thinking it is dead and stinkin'.

So what you are saying is you have not had to listen to it ring all day? Some guys have all the luck.:biggthumpup:
