Cut out a small bit of paper and position (/shove) it behind the sim
card within the phone. It stops the sim card moving around which has
lead to the "insert sim card" messages for me in the past. Modern
Nokias are more accurately designed in the sim card placement
department, but then the battery life has evaporated instead!
