Tour says, "Insert SIM card" after quick reset

I have a Blackberry tour 9630, and for no logical reason it started saying "insert SIM card" after I reset the phone. I've tried a battery pull, and that did nothing. In fact, I have no idea if my service provider, US Cellular, even uses a SIM card. Is this something I will have to discuss with my service provider or is this something I can fix? I can't seem to even see a SIM card on the phone. In fact, I don't even know where it would be.
Thanks

I also have US Cellular and this problem happened to me while travelling last week    I don't  know why it did it but I had to go to "Options, Mobile Network" and change the Network Technology back to "1XEV" which returned it to normal.  I dont know what caused it to switch to "GSM/UMTS"

  • My BB Bold 9900 / 9930 says Insert Sim Card even when there is a sim card inserted

    I've been using this simcard with my BB Bold 9930 for  5 months now and then 2 days ago my phone opened at the blackberry protect log-in pagethat happens when you use a new simcard (which I didn't). so i entered my username and password but then it will show that the username and password doesn't match but when i opened it in my computer and checked it.. it was a match. so i tried switching off my phone and then opening it again but then it will come out again and then again doesn't recognize my password.. i've been doing this until i reached the last attempt where after which they will disable your account for 15 minutes before you can try again. so what i did was to wait and try again until i was able to open it. it was working until yesterday when i restarted my phone again and then after a while the log-in page appeared again but this time it accepted my password then an "initializing sim card" appeared on my phone for a while after which the Insert sim card sign was there. so i tried turning it off and removed and re-inserted my sim card for 6 times it keep saying insert sim card everytime i open it. so i tried using another sim card of my friend which is the same network as mine and inserted my sim card on another phone! my simcard worked on the other phone and so as my friend's sim card worked on my blackberry! i don't know why my blackberry doesn't recognize my simcard! i can't switch to a sew simcard (number) because i am on a postpaid line now and it has a contract for 2 years, so i couldn't throw it away and use a new one! 
    Help anyone pls. how could i make my simcard worked on my blackberry again! Thanks!!

    If you're having issues with your SIM card, Globe Telecom should allow you to swap it for another at no cost to you.  Explain your experiment of exchanging SIM cards with your friend and how another SIM card worked fine in your phone.  This is clearly a faulty SIM card so it needs to be exchanged, no two ways about it.
    If Globe is unwilling to do a simple swap, which any other carrier worldwide would gladly do, tell them you'd like your issue escalated to RIM for resolution because you're obviously not getting anywhere with them.  Carriers would prefer not to escalate so they might give in and give you a new SIM card.  You shouldn't have to pay for it, either.
    I hope that helps you.

    Hi kpnit4rl,
    Please remove your battery and sim and reinsert it again. If the problem persists, maybe your phone is locked.

  • I sent in my Iphone for repair.  They sent me a replacement and it says insert SIM card.  Its an Iphone, I thought they had internal sim cards?  So confused.

    I just received my Iphone 4S back from Apple. Sent in for repair due to unable to connect to WIF box was shadded gray.  They sent me a replacement phone and when I turned it on it says to insert the SIM card?  Very confused as I thought Iphones did not need a SIM card. 

    Hi
    Don't understand your confusion as all mobile phones require a SIM. You would have installed it yourself the first time you got the phone from your carrier or they may have helpfully put it in for you and you did not pay attention at the time. A trip to your carrier may help as they may issue you with another SIM card?
    Did you leave the SIM card in the phone when you took it in for repair? If so then the store that did the repair should have transferred it for you? Get back to them and ask them the question.
    Have you used the SIM slot tool (looks like a paper clip and is in the box the phone originally came in) to check if the SIM is still there? Maybe it just needs re-inserting?
    Just a few things you could try?
    HTH?

  • E51 error- "Insert sim card"

    I have an e51 and have a ASDA mobiel sim card. Even when it is, sometimes, it has this white background with a bit at the bottom that says "insert sim card" but there is already a sim card in there. 
    I tried for ages, but nothing works, wiped all of the installed programs etc, still nothing. The problem doesn't exist when I put the sim card in another phone.
    I then switched the sim card to a 3 card and the same thing still happens
    Although now, the problem has become worse as the Device refuses to boot. I hold down the power key for ages and the backlight lights up as well as the notification light, but the device doesn't boot.
    Can anyone help?  
    Thanks 

    hi henrygu
    Well, i advise you to do hard reset for your phone as it may be your last thing to do before visiting Nokia Care Center . It might works.
    And about contacting Nokia Care Center, each country has one or many of them for technical support, so check your own in the Nokia website related to your country
    I hope that helps , and let me know
    Phones I bought from 1st till now:

  • My phone is saying No SIM card installed, when I clearly have my SIM inserted?

    My phone is saying No SIM card installed, when I clearly have my SIM inserted. I can't make or receive calls. What can I do to fix this?

    Did you already try to remove it and put it back again?
    When changing the SIM card, power off the device prior to opening the SIM tray. After you have changed the SIM card for your iPhone you may need to reconnect it to iTunes.
    iPhone keeps a record of previously inserted SIM cards, but if the carrier name of your SIM does not show up in the status bar after you changed the SIM you will need to reconnect iPhone to iTunes. If you do not connect iPhone to iTunes after changing or reinserting the SIM, iPhone may not work as expected.
    If iPhone does not work with the SIM card after connecting to iTunes, you might need to restore your iPhone. Consult the iPhone User's Guide for more information on iTunes and iPhone.
    If your iPhone does not show up in iTunes (on the left hand side of the iTunes window under Devices), please see the following links for assistance:
    iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    copied from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2309 About swapping SIM cards
    If this does not work, contact your provider, maybe your SIM is damaged.

  • Xperia M4 trouble after inserting SIM card

    Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.

    how to solve this problem. I don't have any sim cards that came with iphone.
    Please help out to solve this problem.
    It sounds like the phone was hacked or jailbroken, and updating it locked it to the original carrier. As it is not possible to update to any version other than the current one (5.1) the fact that you updated to 4.1 pretty much confirms the phone was hacked. There is no solution that you can get in an Apple forum.

    It has NEVER been possible to purchase an unlocked iPhone 3G in the US. Your phone was hacked. Updating it has re-locked it to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.
    The phone is now useless to you. There is no legitimate way to fix this. Buy a new phone. Preferably in India.

  • 6120 restart after insert SIM card

    hello every body,
    I have a problem with my 6120 classic, that when I insert SIM card the phone is restart. the phone can work only in offline mode with the SIM inserted or work without the SIM.
    I tried to press green button with * with 3 to restart it but I have the same issue.
    Thanks.

    Does it just have this problem with your sim or all sims?
    If it's just your sim ask your network to issue you a new sim card.
    If it happens with any sim that you put in your phone then take it to a nokia care point for help.
