this morning i woke up and started up my phone and it said "insert sim card." the previous night i was texting and making phone calls like normal, so when i saw this tonight i was caught off guard. the sim card is in the phone and everything! i swapped the sim card into my old phone and it works fine.
any idea why my tilt wont recognize my sim card?!
thanks for your help guys!
Check ur sim on some other set, than anyone can comment on ur problem
i put it in my old nokia and the sim card worked fine. maybe its just the tilt thats messed up?
yah a hard reset didnt help either
try the sim card from a friend of relativs phone to verify if the phone is broken
ohh yeah i did that! so i suppose my phone is broken then i loved my tilt! this really sucks. but my birthday is coming up next week so ill reward myself with a tilt2
I have this same issue... My sim card is not being read by the Tilt.. I'm at work now, which SUCKS...
I'm going to have to wait until I get home to swap the simcard into another phone and put another simcard into the Tilt to troubleshoot.
anyone have solved this problem... It happened to me today!!! :-(
If I had a nickle for every post like this, I would have a hand full of candy.. YAY! CANDY CANDY CANDY
have you tried wedging some paper in there like everyone else?

so my father went to boston the other day and for some reason his sim card got messed up he has an nokia its an older modle that he had for years it think its the 1110 model number will anyways they gave him a new sim card he puts it in and he gets a message saying restricted so i put my sim card in it and i get the same thing and i put his sim card in my tilt and it works fine so i think it might just be the sim card is new and the phone is so old anyone else knows what else it could be ??
update is a nokia 6230
Doesn't sound like a sim error. Could be the pone does not support the newer technolgy?
yeah i know it from the start and it was the sim card he decide to get the iphone but was really cool i saw the new htc touch pro or the fuze as att called it i played around with it and everything and its sooooo badass its so much smaller then the tilt but a lil heavyer it takes really good pictures a big improvement from the tilt and it also comes with opra ready on it which is realy nice i really like it alot and cant wait to get it next month

I have also experienced the same problem. Tried different sim cards, hard resetting and even flashing new rom. It just happened all of a sudden so maybe is hardware related unless someone else can provide a remedy or two to try out.
Take a pencil and try cleaning the sim card with the eraser. If that doesn't work, try sliding in a thin piece of paper on the back of the sim card once you've put it in the phone. Sometimes the holder gets loose and the contacts wont mate well. If that doesn't work, try putting in a different sim. If that doesn't work, then I think it'd be safe to say that it's a hardware issue.
I experienced the same thing a few months ago and swapping the sim card worked for me.
I've had the same problem. Just push/bend the metal sim card holder/bracket in a bit, then insert the sim card.
bent it down and stuff, works until I move the phone around a lot... trying a piece of paper now.... gonna flash the factory rom if I can, and take it in.
new sim card isnt working either. looks like I am gonna go get the piece tightened down, cause I have pressed it down a few times.... I'm in Springfield, MO for school (smaller town compared to St.Louis) and they'd never even seen a tilt. great
I've got the same problem. My SIM card works on my wife's Motorola V220, but her's doesn't work in mine.
Tried the piece of paper trick.
I'll try the bending trick too.
Hi
ive got a problem whereby my phone stops recognising my simcard and i can't
get it to recognise it unlless i hard reset
the hard reset works for about 3-4 hours and then it stops recognising it.
( during the 3-4 hours i don't move the phone just so it HOPEFULLY proves it isn't hardware.
Any Ideas
thanks ben
( it is on 02 and i have tryed other 02 cards and an orrange card )
I know this has been covered a few times and can be found easily using the search...
Most liklely it is hardware, as the ROM does not really ever affect that. One thing to try is when you open the sim card door, there is a metal bar that goes over the card and holds it in place. Remove the card and press down on the tab untill it touches the golden tabs below it. Then put the card in. This should put pressure on the card and keep it connected. If that does not work, you may need to replaced the sim card reader
Hardware definitely. Had the same problem and luuckily had extra parts. Swapped it out and works like a charm now.

Swapped what out ?
The SIM card reader ?
Where would I get one ?
Who would install it ?
I have this issue and I want to go back to my TyTN II.
Thanks.
I wouldn't count too much on the hardware. When i got my Kaiser yesterday (slightly used) it recognised every simcard i had in store, except my own, which i wanted to use. Simcard in different phone (a soaked Herald, but somehow sometimes working) told me the sim was fine. So i transferred my contract to a out-of-the-box simcard from KPN-NL, and that one somehow worked. I didn't really bother to have another thought about it, but is it a known hardware issue then?
hi guys.
i have big problem with my kaiser sim card. probaly the sim card slot cant read the sims. in the past 2 days i can fix this problem. i change rom, radio, hard reset and tried 2 different sims without success.
the phone works fine expect the sim.
when i boot in to wm it ask me to insert sim card. sim card is insert right. i own the phone 2 years.
what is my next step?
thanks
It wounds like your ribbon cable is wearing out.. That is was the first sign on my sons Tilt....
Is there a way of replacing that ribbon? I guess mine is starting to wear out too!!
i´m taking same problem, my Kaiser is shuting my sim card each month aproximately, I clonned the sim five times, I reflashed from the original rom to another with the hope to solve it but problem stills there, my kaiser ****s to my sim in a month or two...
Any solution?
Now I make bigger my problem, I cracked the touch digitizer and I must to disassemble it, may be the problem is soled when i clean parts inside, I work as industrial Electrician and dust is floating around in my work
i've try to find similiar problem and i can't find the answer...
guys my kaiser can't read my sim card
i lose it when i use android, so i use wm 6.0 again...
the signal got well for one night, but since this morning it never read my simcard...
i've use mtty, change radio, use wm 6.1, wm 6.5 and it still can't read my simcard...
can anybody help me with this problem??
about my english please forgive me, i'm still learning...
thanks guys for your help...
Hey, I can't really help you. But the same has happened to me a few times: every time, it eventually started to work again after some time. Could be a few hours, could be a week - so be patient. I have no idea what the problem is, but at some point it started working again after I put someone else's SIM in my phone then switched back (both SIMs were of the same provider). Good luck!
you are not alone
I have exactly same problem with you.. since 2 days ago my kaiser won't read any sim card.
Actually it had happened a few weeks ago, my kaiser fell from my hands and hit the floor. After that, my kaiser stop reading sim card, but after one night it started to works again just like Cerberus_tm said.
2 days ago it happened again I really careless.. but this time until today, my kaiser still won't recognize any sim card.
I have done some reading in a few old thread about this case. I'm not sure myself but based on those thread, I can conclude that the problem could be because of the sim card doesn't make contact with card holder, or there is a problem with the flex cabble that connecting our sim card holder.
FYI, if you are interested in fixing the flex cabble, the price is about 700.000 IDR here in bandung.

ithink i just wait till it works again.... teu boga duit euy....
Fixed my sim card no work issue
It was intermittently working so I knew I was close and yes the poor Tytn II 8925 has been dropped about 1/mth thanks to the stupid sprint magnet case that always seems to let go after I get up from a chair. I tried raising the gold contacts that touch my sim card, that did NOT work. I tired putting one layer of masking tape on my sim card, that did NOT work either. I even got a new sim card from my carrier $10, that did NOT work. Finally I tired pushing down on the steel house that holds the sim card, that worked!
Just put a piece of paper on the back of sim card while inserting it into the sim holder, my kaiser suddenly started acting like this, I slid a piece of paper at sim's back and now its working pitch perfect
Sorry Sim card error back (not fixed)
Seems to work after battery removal and 3 restarts, getting ready to dump the phone.... It works for a couple of hours, then all of sudden sim card can't be read....can't live like this.

perhaps by way of radio uprgade you can handle !! You can get more information at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
perhaps try reinsert the sim module if you are ok to open the device up? or replace the simcard module flex cable
