I am getting a random error message on my Motorola RAZR V3 Celluar phone. It says I should insert the SIM. The message goes away when I reboot, but it reappears. Can anyone help?

Turn off your phone then take the battery and sim car out for ten seconds replace then reboot your phone. This performs a soft reset. If it still doesn't work back as much stuff up as possible (contacts, pictures, apps, ect.) and perform a hard reset.

Good Luck!

WARNING: If one of theses messages appear :

If you're getting "Contact Service Provider" error message, then you simply need to leave the phone on with a SIM card on it for about 8-12hrs. This should reset the unlock counter of the phone. Unlock Motorola RAZR V3

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. If you have Motorola phone tools installed in your system, then you can directly copy the messages from the phone to your Computer. And, if you are unable to see the messages through the SIM card reader then the messages would be in the phone and not SIM.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks

Have you used the external antenna port? If this is damaged it renders phone useless. Somehow connected to main antenna.

well the back plate made need to be tighten or replace the housing

you may have a frimware problem.....first try and get the phone service to see if that corrects the error......or you may need to get the phone reflash.

you need to have the phone firmware reflash...take the phones to a professional mobile repair store and have them fix
