Hello and welcome to CPF.

It doesn't seem like a phone lock issue. It could be that your N70 might have a faulty SIM card reader. But first, try updating the phone's firmware. Check out the Nokia website for more info. If that doesn't work, flash the firmware. If it still doesn't work, then more than likely you know it's a hardware problem. If you don't want to do the repairs yourself, you can contact Nokia support and have it shipped to a service center. With the N70, I doubt that it would still be covered by the manufacturer's warranty because this phone was released quite a while ago, so you're going to have to pay for the repairs (which the prices might be steep). If you don't want to deal with the hassle, just sell it as a parts phone and get a newer model.
