A fix for ‘no SIM card detected’ on iPhone

A couple of months ago I picked up a second-hand iPhone 3G and jailbroke it so I could run it on T-Mobile. The thing is amazing. It replaced my iPod Classic, Palm m515, and Motorola Razr, and does more than all three devices did.

The only real issue I have had with it is that twice now I have lost service due to the phone not recognizing the SIM card. Fortunately, the fix is easy: just power the phone off, remove the SIM card, breathe on it like you would an old Nintendo cartridge, reinsert it, and power back on.

I’m not saying this is the fix, but a fix that worked for me.
