My phone says that I need to insert the SIM card but it's already in. I've tried taking it out and putting it back in, cleaning the terminals, and it still won't work. I only got this phone in August. What's going on?
Optional Information: Make: Samung Model: SGH-T401G Already Tried: Removing and re-inserting the SIM card, turning the phone off and back on, and cleaning card and the terminals on the phone.
Hello, I am John Cappucci, Computer Science Engineer. I will be very happy and will do my best to help you.If you remove the SIM card and install a different one (from a friend, etc) do you get the same issue?
I don't have another SIM card. My friends don't either.
Please reset the phone.
To reset the phone follow the steps below:
It will not even go to the menu. As soon as the Samsung screen disappears it says insert SIM card.
OK, please remove the battery and wait 15 minutes, then insert it back. Please keep me posted
That still did not work.
Then unfortunately you will need to go to your cellphone provider store (AT&T, Verizon, etc, your provider) and tell them to check the GSM sim. It may be defective, they just change it with a new GSM sim using your same phone number.
