Cellular Phones/Sim card not working

Question
My sim card is in my phone my phone is saying it's not. I have a motorola i776.

Answer
Can you please restate your question? I believe you are saying that your SIM card is saying it's not working? Are you saying that you seeing a message on your phone regarding the SIM card? If so, what exactly is it saying? If it says "Insert SIM", then the SIM is likely not locked down in place. If you have a prepaid SIM, there may not be any money left on the account. Have you taken the SIM card in and out of the phone a lot? Is it a new phone? Did it work before? Is your SIM from Nextel? Let me know the answers to these questions and I am happy to try to help you. Thanks. DebiN
