What is more annoying is that fact that the Sim card is still there. It has not been removed. It hasn't even been touched at all.
"SIM card removed - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted."
Note - Different cellphones use slightly different messages, but they all claim the Sim card has been removed. What would make more sense is a message that says "Your Sim card is broken. See your phone company for a replacement."
And the only way to get the phone to work properly again is to restart the phone... which appears to be a roughly 70 / 30 chance that you get the message again...
"SIM card removed - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted."
Or it works normally - for the moment. And then decides not to work later on and gives you the message again.
"SIM card removed - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted."
Thus when I woke up this morning.
"SIM card removed - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted."
So I restarted it and it worked fine. So I took a shower and then checked it again.
"SIM card removed - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted."
Very annoying. To me it would make sense to have the option to click "Retry Sim Card" on my phone instead of having to restart it each time. Obviously it is not "trying hard enough".
I have checked various forums on the topics, people with the same problem - people who try removing the back, replacing the battery, removing/readding the Sim card, etc.
And the only conclusion that seems to be a permanent fix is to go to your phone company and replace the Sim card.
This follows the idea that the Sim card is just old and broken, and the only solution is to replace it.
My thoughts on this is that Sim cards must suck donkey balls if they break so easily for no apparent reason. Why are we using a piece of technology that breaks so easily?
