I would appreciate an option to manually switch off the SIM card without having to turn the device off and back on again (e.g. under the PIN code section of the System settings).

Isn't Airplane Mode enough?

I have been using the flight mode, but it is not the same as disabling the SIM card. I have encountered connection problems to the mobile network, where a new network search didn't work any more, even though there was a network available. Switching flight mode on and off has not helped to resolve the problem in these cases, I had to switch off the Jolla completely in order to get a new network connection. Therefore, I would appreciate if it was possible to fully disable the SIM card without having to reboot Jolla.

hmm... I was about to send my phone to warrantly repair for SIM card issue, but I managed to fix it by shortening my SIM card a bit with using sand paper for the cutted edge. You can check if your SIM card presses the little triangle switch to the bottom when inserting it, maybe you are experiencing this too.
