[QUOTE=geneven;984038]Well, offline mode didn't get rid of the message.

It DID knock me off the Internet, though. Why would that have helped? I said I wasn't using the PHONE. I didn't say I didn't want to use the Internet.

When I got my first N900 it didn't have a SIM and didn't give an error message.

I just want to go back to not having a SIM and not having an error message.

maybe your sim card validity has been expired
