you could restart your phone > check the correct APN settings and also disable or uninstall any taskillers and antivirus

it doesn't hurt to get a brand new SIM card (this is usually the problem)

most likely then its the SIM card, if the SIM its older than 6months it will be wise to replace it, for the most part SIM cards are free but it varies per country/carrier/network

most likely that's the problem, also you can use SUS to repair your phone
