You can try cleaning the contacts on
teh SIM with a pencil eraser -- sometimes they oxidize and this cleans
em up.

Failing that take it to a store, try the SIM in another phone. If it
works there, maybe you have a hpone issue. If it won't work in
another phone, then you have a SIM that has gone belly up and the
cingular store can get you hooked up with a replacement sim in a
hurry.
