Lumia 535 Keep getting Sim card error.

When the error appears on the screen, i take the battery and sim card out, put them back in and it works fine for anywhere between 1 minute and a couple of days, any ideas????????????????

I did this to my 1520. Did you do anything to the card reader recently before this happend? You may have damaged your sim or the card tray. Hope it is a sim card issue and just switch it with your provider. If it isn't do a factory reset in your phone that may help, if that doesn't it may be the worst which would be to replace the tray or get the 550 in Dec.

For the 1520 I had been screwing around with it and may have broken one of the reading pins for the sim card tray. I got so fed up with the process of fixing it and downgraded to my 925 until the 950 comes out.
