It sounds like it could be a software problem I'm afraid - I had a similar problem with a 3310. I changed the sim card reader, cleaned all the contacts carefully with an alcohol rub, cleaned the PCB with a toothbrush - all no joy. Apparently a software problem can cause this. The phone will need reflashing, which will cost you probably a similar amount to that new Nokia 1100. I've seen those advertised for £29.99 - I forget where, I think it's The Link or one of the network's phone shops.
