as pollytintop wrote, disassemble the phone and fix the contacts - its not that hard and the phone will work again normally

since nick deleted his crappy answer (again) we can try to start fixing the problem

I think what he did will be obvious. Why lie about it?

its worth a shot

I see, maybe he won't get caught cheating like you did last month. Pretty poor advice.

just replace the SIM tray and he will be fine

nick - please stop talking crap - you have not the slightest idea what you're talking about and fraud or cheating or whatever you might call it is not ok.

fixing the problem wouldn't be that hard - but giving criminal advises is just plain stupid!
