Although I knew that this screen did not display, it seems it is not working 
to touch.
That is why I'm hoping the reset might work.

The sim card goes inside the phone, usually you have to pull the battery
out to get to it. When you sign up with a phone company (either pre or post
paid) the phone company will give you a sim card to put in your phone.

Not sure why you can't get past the screen telling you there is no sim card
though, I have several phones without sim cards which work just fine (aside
from the previously mentioned restrictions re making calls etc).
