Hey there Iron4rent,

It sounds like your SIM card is giving you an error a few times a day. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help isolate and resolve the issue:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4148
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Toggle Airplane mode On and Off.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Remove the SIM Card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Restore the iPhone.
If you still are unable to resolve this issue, contact Apple support for further assistance.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
