It may be caused that when you take out sim from old phome it has damaged, try for old one is it still working? if not then your sim is dead, also old phones made SIM-s to be bend and such SIM-s have difficlt electrical connection with new phones.
Also find if "this sim only" is activated in your phone.
It must give you signal, Insert sim card, or insert proper sim. If insert sim card warning card is damaged or have not enough good connection, if another, then this sim only is activated you first you must unlock it to work .

the memory card you inserted is not functioning properly insert an other card if it does the same then get your set checked

yes, your cellphone is recognizing the sim card, sim my be damaged

Sounds like phone is locked or firmware is bad

1. Try with a new SIM
2. Check the SIM Socket of phone
3. Try changing SIM IC of phone

no you don't there is a small sim-card icon on the back of the phone that indicates to you how the card should be inserted in.

Your phone is not recognizing your sim.Any sell phone that is charged can be used for emergency calls.

Try rigorously cleaning the sim card and phone connections (also battery connections - after reading forums the batteries on V3's are often to blame for their problems) with a cotton bud then leave the phone off without the sim card in it and charge it overnight. Then put in the sim card and turn the phone on. This might help. My V3 often says Insert SIM and it is very annoying so i'm getting rid of it but those methods have worked for me.

Hope this helps
