I've dealt with this issue ever since I bought this phone - and would rather throw it across the room and watch it burst into 1,000 pieces than have to see the error pop up again. All I did was cut out about 1-inch by1/4" inch strip from a postcard - or any heavy weight paper. In other words, not cardboard, but not copy paper. More like the weight of a vhs cover box, cereal box, etc. I inserted one end of the strip above the sim card and below the phone shell (over the part of the sim card that's not showing); and folded the rest of the paper strip (might have to tear some off) to be double ply above the part of the sim card that is showing. Put on the cover; you should have to press firmly to get it to fit on and smash the double-ply strip down. Make sure the double ply is only over the sim card, not any over the battery. This worked for me!

I just bought a lg vu cu920 havent activated it yet question is does it need a sim card and activation to get to menu it didnt come with manual

From what I know, this phone is used through ATT, so Im assuming this is your carrier? If so, you will need to contact ATT for a sim card for this phone. If there is already a SIM card in the phone, you can contact att to activate you on that SIM card.

Will a boost mobile sim card from prepaid phone work in my unlocked lg vu

Yes it should if the LG mobile phone is unlocked. If not, when you insert the Boost SIM card in the LG it will ask for a Secutity Code.
If the SIM card won't work in the LG, please get back to me.

My LG Vu does not read my sim card

I had the same problem with mine. I took it to an at&t store and they put a new sim card in it and it still didnt work. I ended up having to get a new phone sense for some reason at&t said they didnt know what was wrong with it.

Sim Card Problem In LG Vu

This happened to me too. A temporary fix is turn off your phone and put it in front of a really cold air conditioner for about ten minutes. Then turn it on but make sure you keep it in front of the ac to keep it working. What happened is your sim card reader has a thermal problem so you will need to take it in unless you want to spend all your time in front of the ac (which will get expensive...)

My LG VU is not reading my sim card but when i put Sim card in another phone is works

The sim card goes in the other way. The cut should be on the bottom left facing up. Try it and see if it works.
