I'm using SHR-testing from April 23rd.  In the Settings app, go to the 
Phone section, and there is a GSM on/off slider at the top.

My SIM contact issue started from the day I got my phone.  My original 
SIM didn't work, so I left it in my old phone until I could research 
which SIM I needed.  Once I knew, I went to the AT&T store and got my 
new SIM, which worked immediately.  I was restarting my phone fairly 
often with new distributions, and the SHR distro seemed to be the only 
one that had the problem.  It wouldn't register, so I'd reboot again and 
again, then I'd shut it down, re-seat the SIM card, and boot again... 
this time it found the network with no problem.  That pattern repeated 
every time I had to restart my FR.

Then recently I started thinking a little more about the problem, and I 
can always get "SOS Only" mode, so I started thinking maybe it's that 
the SIM isn't registering before the GSM daemon times out.  I never 
tried to restart the GSM antenna before this version of SHR, so I don't 
know if previous versions have the same slider.
