Some of the reasons sim card not working in your mobile
1.Bad SIM -if it wasn't unlocked you'd get a message asking you to enter a PIN.Get the pin from an online vendor like Unlock Zone Unlocking the LG CU500 mobile phone .
2.With a warning that you have 10 attempts to enter the correct PIN code or it could be locked forever ,if you don't get that message it's "mostly likely" unlocked.BUT find a phone with a known working SIM and see if it will work and connect to the network.
3.May be a hardware problem try flashing with a custom rom.
4..This has to be a problem with the SIM card slot, which is soldered down to the logic board. It's possible that it's a mechanical problem , you might be able to open it up and discover
that the card-detect switch is failing to detect SIM card insertion.
5.The os system has been updated and your phone is not being recognized with the right settings , this happened after a update a year or two ago.

Hi, maybe there's a problem with the SIM card or the SIM card is not compatible. Also, your phone might be network locked. You may check that in the following guide for LG phones: http://www.fastgsm.com/en/page/how-to-unlock-lg-gt540-optimus-gs290-kp500-cookie-gd510-pop-ks360

SOURCE: Sim Card Problem In LG Vu

This happened to me too. A temporary fix is turn off your phone and put it in front of a really cold air conditioner for about ten minutes. Then turn it on but make sure you keep it in front of the ac to keep it working. What happened is your sim card reader has a thermal problem so you will need to take it in unless you want to spend all your time in front of the ac (which will get expensive...)

How do i unlock my sim card to use it in a new

Mobile phone manufacturers make GSM phones with a SIM lock, a built-in capability to restrict the use of these phones to specific countries and network providers. In this way, phones can be locked to only accept SIM cards from a specific country, network or service provider, or only a particular SIM type. In fact, most mobile phones are shipped with country and network provider locks these days. Unlock SIM card. It is now either mandatory or voluntary for the provider to unlock the SIM card of the customer. Still, some providers are reluctant on doing it even after a customer has fulfilled their service contract. A few others will unlock the SIM card of a customer only if he/she has an active account in good standing for at least 90 days. Some network providers charge a fee for releasing the unlock code. Unlocking laws vary from country to country. For example, in Belgium, networks are not allowed to sell locked handsets. In The Netherlands, providers must provide unlocking codes, but are permitted to charge a fee for this during the first 12 months after purchase. The Hong Kong government does not allow networks to sell locked mobile phones, though the restriction does not apply to some PDA phone models, such as those offered by BlackBerry. In the US, unlocking is now legal. Unlock SIM card and special codes. You can unlock a handset by entering a special code, or in some cases, over-the-air by the carrier. In most cases, a locked phone will display a message if a restricted SIM is used, asking for the unlock code. The code needed for removing all SIM locks from a phone is called the master code or network code key. The phone itself verifies the unlock code, which is either stored in a database or calculated with the help of a complex mathematical formula supplied by the provider.

How to unlock LG Rumor from sprint

The LG Rumor is a Sprint CDMA device. This means that it is activated on a network using the Electronis Serial Number programmed into the device. Once the device is powered up, it registers to the network and if that ESN doesnt match an active acct, then no service, and you may get a message asking you to activate your device. Sim cards are only in GSM devices (not including nextel and a few devices that have been dubbed world phones, allowing them to work on both CDMA and GSM services.)

So, all this was to explain simply that you can never put a sim card in a LG Rumor. There is nowhere for it to go. SRY!!!!!
