Connection Problem

[pheng617]

for some reason my connection says OFF.. so i go to manage connections turn on mobile network and wifi. it connects to wifi but on home screen of phone it says initialization failed. also my sim card i believe is messed up. I tried putting it into another phone it said insert sim. so im believing the sim card has broken. also i think it was due to the phone lock i setup on the phone though password was not entered in more then the amount of attempts set i am not sure why my sim card has gone down the pooper.
if it is the sim card. would it be replaced for free with insurance? any clues on how to fix this?

Make sure you are putting the SIM in correctly.

Try pulling the battery while the device is on. Leave it out for about 30 seconds and putit back in. This seems to fix a number of problems.

ive read in a post where "4.5 sometimes will kill your SIM CARD" though ive tried putting the sim into other phones and it just says put sim in. The only thing i can do currently is make emergency calls. Would you know if the sim card is covered by insurance on the phone? Also could the password security on the phone be a problem with the sim?
