    Do they really fix problems?
    Everytime I'm told to do a sim exchange when a problem comes up with texts or something else. But atleast for me . It never once solved anything.

    sometimes old sims can cause issues with poor connections and things.

    Messages not sending or coming in. few times calls not coming through even when you have full reception. Generally related to call or texts.

    If you ring up any network they always tell you to change your sim first. Ive done this so many times for others and myself just for the sake of keeping them quiet but it not once solved a problem.

    To me it just sounds like an excuse to get the customer of their back about it. But it creates even more problems.

    In my experience the sim replacement is only needed if you lose a phone, dip it into water, or if its a very old sim card.

    In your case its probably the network, but have you tried using a different phone for awhile

    Oh yeah. Different phones carry the same issue. Just the networks always insist on a pointless sim exchange

    First thing i do is do a hard reset.

    If that doesnt fix it i try it in a different phone.

    Then ring the network and then sim exchange comes
