Hi everyone. I have the SGII from the UK and now using it in America. The phone recently randomly says "insert SIM for network access" or something to that effect. Ill be in my basement on wifi, and then go upstairs and leave, turning off wifi, and it says that there is no network connection...

Hi All, I have returned to American from studying in the UK for a year. I brought my I9100 with me, and I purchased it in the UK on the Vodafone network. Now that I am back, I went to AT&T to get a SIM and start using my old saved number. They let me try putting one of their SIM's in my...
