So I was using a Sim card adapter and when I took it out from the Sim port I broke some of the sim card reader pins.
Now my phone isn't recognizing any Sim card.
In frustrated since I can't use my phone.
Any solutions?
Unfortunately,you my friend are going to need a warrenty replacement.once you break these tiny little pins its all over...sorry!!!!?

Or replace the SIM reader. Happened to me on another phone. I ordered the part on eBay and took it to a shop to replace the SIM and sd card part. Get yourself a better adapter or it will happen again.
Take it back and say it was like that lol. That your SIM quit working out the blue. Provided your in the return window.

hi guys, i've been having a problem about my network. sometimes my data isn't working at all but it doesn't really says that it's disconnected to fix it i have to reboot. I tried different roms but my data still drops sometimes like 4 times a day.
so is there any chance that i broked the phone's data antenna even my calls still work? i have the phone for 6 months and this is the first time this has happened. i really don't want to exchange my phone to tmobile but if that's the only way to try then that's what i'll do.

I would suggest getting a new SIM card. In most cases a new sim card will fix that problem. I work for T-Mo and that's usually a good fix. If that doesnt work then try a factory reset. If that doesn't work then warranty. Good luck!!

yeah i have done a factory reset. So i'll ask t mobile for a new sim card?

Just go to a store and ask for a sim replacement. Since its a damaged sim they should just replace it for free.

I don't need to call them? i'll just directly go to a tmobile?

Yes sir. They will activate your number on to it and put it in the phone. Off you go. That simple.

When you bought your Vibrant, check in the box, there should be 2 sim cards.
i just called t mobile today and they said that my sim card is old which is weird. my sim card came with the phone 6 months ago. is there really a new sim card?
So they said i do need to change my sim card, will my number be changed?

If he upgraded to the vibrant and the rep happened to leave the sim in there then there would be another one. There is typically only one sim per box.Usually if you are an existing customer and you upgrade the rep will take the sim out of the box and keep it.

Nope. Number will stay the same. They just activate the new card with your number and deactivate the old. Yes, they came out with a new version of the sim card a while ago.

oh ok thanks. i really forgot to ask why did they put this sim if it's not compatible with the phone. I didn't know that they have a newer sim card.
thanks!

Well the one that you have should work fine. But like anything else they occasionally go bad. They updated the sims when they started upgrading the network. Just gives a better connection on 3g/4g.

I don't know if this is the right place to post, but here I go.
I am wanting to either replicate my sim card or have an adapter to use 2 sim cards.
I have unlimited data and my fiance does not. I thought it would be cool if she could use my sim card for data only and hers like she normally does.
Has this been done before?
Thanks in advance!

So today I was on the phone with my friend and all the sudden I couldn't hear him. I took the phone away from my ear and I see puk code locked please contact customer support. First off what does this mean and why is it saying this. I have not rooted my phone or made any modifications at all to my phone. And I have never removed my sim card. I have only had my phone for less the a month. Also sometimes my phone says I do t have a sim card inserted when I know I do. This has happened to me once before.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

its a known issue with the dna.
try reseating the sim card and rebooting the phone. If the issue persists or comes back ofter go to a verizon store and get a new sim card
I woke up this morning and my sim card was acting up I put it back in because I was lucky enough to have the tool with me and it's better now. I honestly thing it's my sim card because my brother also has this phone and he hasn't had any issues with his sim card at all

So I bought this DNA at best buy and the guy gave me two SIM cards, the one currently installed and another one. Can I remove the SIM card and put in the new one and it will go back to pre OTA? Or does the SIM card have nothing to do with it?

Nothing at all. Sim card just connects you to the network.

It also stores phone contacts
It can store contacts. That's more of a hold over feature from the pre-smart phone days. Honestly if you have an android phone and you're not syncing your contacts with google than you're doing something wrong. (I suppose there may be tin-foil hat wearing people out there that don't want to give google that information, but considering what you're giving them just by using an android phone those people should probably avoid the platform entirely). Even if you were planning to switch from an android to an iPhone it would make more sense to just import your google contacts in iOS than use the SIM to transfer them.
Is there a way to make the network unlock message show up without putting in a different SIM card? I've had my unlock code for a while I just want to use it.

Not that I know of but then again I could be wrong did they not give you instructions with unlock code
Sent from inside the T.A.R.D.I.S
They did it's the usual insert different SIM card then put the code but I was wondering if I can input the code without a foreign SIM card

No, there is no phone code for the unlock menu. Just pick up a prepaid sim card from walmart and unlock it, if your in the States. I ordered a simcard cutter with and cut an old ATT card I had in an old phone to unlock mine. Or if you have a friend or relative with a newer phone, pop their sim in for a couple secs and unlock it.
