Same Problem

Oct 30, 2008

-   I had the same problem (but I have the RAZR V3T). I kept on dialing and it gave me a "Call Failed" message. I had to dial the same number about 20 times for it to connect.

I've tried switching the sim card to my old phone and I still had the same problem.

Funny things to say, the phone started to work again when I wiped the sim card clean on the metal side.

Hope this works for all.

when that happened to me all i did was went to:
menu
settings
network setup
and make sure u are under the right network, cuz it resets itself sometimes or your provider doesnt have a strong signal might have to choose another network.

example: i have tmobile but had to use cingular cuz of a stronger signal.

hope this helps

I think it seems that your SIM Card Board has some failed pins. I think you need to replace your SIM board and it may help to resolve the issue. You may need to take the main board out and if I am not wrong that i have fixed this issue before you need to use the soldering gun to remove the defective one and put the new one back. This isuuse was very common on every V3 models when you used them for a while specially, you keep removing the SIM card in and out. I hope this will help you some ideas. If you have tried all these ways and it is still not solve your problem, I believe, your Main Board has defective and need to be replaced. V3 has these common defective as I have fixed so far bunch of them.
