SOURCE: SIM Card

Verizon is a cdma network and does not use sim cards you will have to go into the store to get the phone switched (they might charge you $20) or call customer service (1-800-922-0204) or do it online yourself by logging on to the vzw my account website.

SOURCE: sim card rejected

this happen if there is some problem in the sim card holder port ....

there will be loose contact inside the sim card holder is not touching the circuit board inside due to this your sim card is getting rejected ...

as you have told that the phone is a brand new one so i am sure that you will be having the warranty so just make use of it by contact the dealer with whom you have purchased or contacting the company customer care number to get more information about how to make use of your warranty ......

if you dont have the warranty then you must open the handset
and just remove the circuit board & sim card holder and insert it again so that the sim card holder touches the circuit board correctly ...
after this refit the phone then surely your sim will be accepted ....

it is better to use of warranty if you have ......
this is a simple problem if you dont have the warranty also you can only fix it ..
if you just open the handset & set that sim card holder to touch the circuit board that s enough everything will be done and works fine ...

if you are afraid of opening then you must just contact the technician ...
it is just a matter of very little bucks if you contact him also ...

any doubts you can reply me
i am always here to assist you
thank you
bye

SOURCE: I broke the screen on my phone, so I have moved my sim card

Press options when you open up your contacts and choose "save to SIM' or "copy to SIM' and it should work that way

Talk to your cell phone provider ( Verizon/ Sprint etc.) to see

The phone gets off itself even if the battery is fully charged gets hang. doesn't allow any application to run may be there is a virus and yes it works well when there is no sim inserted in it
Its not any virus. Your sim card is defective. Go to your network service provider and replace your sim card with a new one and your problem will be solved.
