    Wipe the device with jl_cmdr and reinstall the OS. Here for jl_cmdr http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/how-...l_cmder-53502/
    Get OS 4.5.0.140 here http://forums.crackberry.com/f33/new...nguage-220337/
    Or you can get the OS from your providers site by going here BlackBerry - BlackBerry Desktop and Device Software Download Sites I think vodaphone is using 4.5.0.124. Either one will work though.

    Its possible the virus could have zapped your memory card. Try getting the mini-sim card adapter and put it into your computer, re-format it, and put it back in. Then do a battery pull and let us know what happens.

    Good luck!

    Easiest thing for you to do to fix this is to go to a carrier retail
    store and have them give you a new SIM card. Wiping the phone
    and reformatting the microSD card is of no use for your issue.

    I had this happen to my bold, coincidentally 36 hours after I did an OS upgrade. Had nothing to do with the software, I did everything that was suggested to you, nothing worked. I'm on ATT and it turned out to be a carrier issue. Still the same sim, same memory card, its been 2 months and it never happened again. So whatever ATT did, it game me the dreaded SOS bad sim message, it fixed itself in about 10 hours. Don't know how or why to this day. I have a Bold.

    okay well i went to sleep, woke up, left my blackberry on and the battery still says its a t100% what would cause this? obviously thats not a sim related problem... even when i pop it into the charge it still says at 100% but theres a charge sign next to it :|
