It might be that there is some corrosion on the leads that connect to the SIM card. You can try using a soft pencil eraser on the leads to see if you can clean them up, being careful not to get any debris from it in the phone to avoid any future strange complications.

Samsung Geino, my sim is inserted but my phones keeps saying insert sim i carnt phone anyone blah blah help

Hi,when a phone keeps saying insert Sim card, is either the Sim card has problem or the Sim tray of the phone is bad and will need tobe replaced.

To confirm, Take the Sim card and insert it into another phone, If it still says insert Sim, that means the Sim card is bad, But if the Sim card works with another phone, That means the Sim tray of the phone is damaged.

Sim tray is located on the phone where you insert your Sim card in on the phone to make sure the Sim works with the phone.

Have a nice day.

WHY DOES MY PHONE SAYS INSERT SIM

try taking SIM and battery out placing it back in an powering on.

If you try this and it still does not work you may need a new SIM card. Take it to a local dealer they should have a new SIM they will put your number on it and you will be back in business.

If the new SIM doesn't not work you will now know it is your Phone, which means time for a new one.

good luck

I changed sim card, now they both display ''Insert SIM''

try taking out both cards and popping the battery on the phone.

Wait a few minutes and then turn the phone on with no card in it.

Turn it back off when it says no card found and insert the newer card and power it back up.

It seemed to keep a memory of the blank card.
