Right, I'm lost now...
Ok, lets do this step by step; this

won't do any good. Why T-Mobile told you to do that I don't know, as all that is is a "soft reset" which reregisters the phone to the network, which while good to do occasionally isn't a must. Besides, it won't actually stop the "Allow SIM card to send a message?" pop ups - just switching the phone off and on would have the same effect, and you've already done that.
As for this

well, as regards the back of the Nokia - 3330? - pop into a shop or visit a friend who has one and ask them to show you how to take it off. I had the exact same problem way back when I had a Nokia 3310, and that's exactly what T-Mobile customer service advised me to do as "it's very easy to do once you've seen someone else do it"... and they were right - it worked!
As for giving it some thought -
press
yes - the
free message will send, nothing will happen to the phone, and
the pop ups will stop.
press
no - the pop ups continue.
My advice? If you want the pop ups to stop, let it send.
