My wife and I have both been having this exact issue since we've received the phones on the 10th. The problem seems more common around lunch time. I'll have 5 bars of service and the 4g icon will be active, I'll start a phone call or text message, which will fail, then I get the "no sim" message. 30 seconds or so later the signal comes back. If I keep redialing or trying to resend the text it will eventually go through, but it sometimes takes several attempts, with the signal drop/no sim process repeating.
Verizon technical support has maintained throughout several calls that I am the first customer to report this particular problem and after trying new sim cards without improvement I will need to go to the store and swap out phones because "all information leads to it being a problem with your hardware".
Apparently Samsung has not acknowledged this as an known issue yet. Also, since I'm the first customer to report this, and millions have been sold it must be a very isolated issue.
I'm hopeful that new handsets will fix the problem, but based on information in this thread I'm not incredibly optimistic.
