I could not see if my texts were being sent and I could not read received ones. I followed this video (easy and clear to follow) and reset my phone, now the phone is working again - great! Thanks for sharing this video, it solved the problem and saved me money as I was very close just to binning the phone - cheers!

Back up all data on the internal memory.
From the Start screen, touch the screen and slide left.
Scroll to and tap Settings.
Scroll to and tap about.
Scroll down and tap reset your phone.
Read the warning about your personal content being erased.
Tap yes.
Tap yes again to confirm.
i just saved you doing all of this annoying stuff.

[@InsaneMetalSoldier]

I'm buying this phone from a friend. So, this is how you get rid of all his stuff and set it ready for you to use. Right? There wont be any kind of old crap from him anymore? Thanks!

Turn on the Nokia Lumia 520
Make sure the battery is fully charge or not empty
Go to menu: Setting > About > Reset Your Phone
The process of formatting Nokia Lumia 520 will do by it self
