IPhone 4 keeps on losing signal and tells me that no SIM is inserted?

But I've never removed the SIM card before and I haven't dropped/damaged this phone yet.
I have this phone for about 6 months now.

Does the phone need replacing?

Yes it does. The warranty might come in handy since you didn't harm the device.

This happened to me too. I read online somewhere that it would help if I put it in a bowl of rice for 7 days straight. I thought it was a joke, but it actually worked. I would try that.

  • My iPhone 5 keeps losing Wi-Fi and has no service? I got my iPhone 5 almost two months ago and I love it! I've always been happy with apple products until just this Saturday I was at my aunts house where you get no service and when I got back to my house I still had no service and could barely get Wi-Fi. I had then gone to my aunts house where I only got Wi-Fi if I moved close to my router. I'm so upset with this. Is there a fix? I really don't want to get a new iPhone
