    It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
    If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked.

    The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
    It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...
    If this is the case... you are out of luck... Because...

    Login to your iCloud account from the computer, go to Find My Phone, and remove the iPhone from the devices list.  Then proceed to restore.

    "No SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" after updating to iOS 5.

    Its an IMEI issue.  In my case, about a year ago, after originally purchasing my iP4 from AT&T store, I had a prox. sensor issue.  Went to the Apple Store, they replaced the phone.  Here is where it all stems from.  The IMEI of the new phone was never updated in AT&T/Carriers systems.  For iOS updates prior to iOS5, this was not an issue.  My phone did its iOS updates along the way with no probs.  However, when I updated to iOS5, the firmware did not match the IMEI with what AT&T/carrier had.  When I went to Apple Store for the issue about 3 days ago and was given a new phone....again....the new phones IMEI was never updated with AT&T/carrier.  I then again attempted the upgrade to iOS5 with the new phone and iOS5 bricked that one also.  Today, at the store, we tried 3 replacements with same outcome.
    So, after 4 hours and 3 replacement phones with Apple Store Tech (BTW totally gobsmacked), we solved the issue.  Luckily, due to iPhone 4S launch, there was an AT&T guy there with a computer tied to the AT&T network to work along with us.  The issue is......once the IMEI's on carrier account and phone do not match, iOS5 shuts down the sim card reader within phone.....forever. How to reverse this?......this is a question Apple needs to come up with, because with my case, they have 5 "bricked" phones. 
    What solved the issue was to get a new phone with iOS4.3.5, new SIM from carrier/AT&T, have carrier/AT&T (in their system) change/match the IMEI to the new phone and activate new SIM.  Then, do iOS5 upgrade. 
    Simple and makes total sense..........however........there is an internal firmware (Apple Security??) issue that bricks the phone once IMEI's dont match. 
    I am now on iOS5.....no problems......so far.  Good luck to all others.

    trying to active my old iPhone 3gs. it showing that activation server is temporary unavailable and on the iTunes showing that there is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. I unlocked my phone then i upgrade it, after that this happen. i tried with other sim same message come again and again.if any body know solution let me know. thanks

    Was the SIM card activated on another phone? I assume this is an ATT style trying to use on T-Mobile? Was the SIM installed correctly? Is the carrier (like T-Mobile) operating IOS 6 devices yet?
    If the SIM is a valid SIM from say T-Mobile, you may want to contact them for assistance activating the SIM card.
    Activation and SIM issues typically point to the carrier. And if this was a CDMA phone say working with verizon, it will NOT work for ATT or T-Mobile as they use different electronics on the 3GS. The SIM slot is for international use only.

    THERE IS NO SIM CARD INSTALLED IN THE iPHONE YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO ACTIVATE - and there is? Has anyone suffered this and what to do? Thanks

    Possible causes:
    1)  Improper SIM card placement.
    2)  Faulty SIM card.
    3)  "No service" area of the cellular network.
    4)  Unsupported carrier.
    5)  Network locked iPhone. Trying to a activate a locked iPhone on a different cellular network. (Other than to which it is originally locked to).
    6)  The computer doesn't have an internet access on which you are trying to activate your iPhone using iTunes.
    7)  Apple server busy (rare).

  • TS1368 my iphone is displaying "there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate" wn i connect it to itunes

    my iphone is displaying "there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate" wn i connect it to itunes,bcoz i hv installed ios5.0.1 for my iphone 3g.can you tel me how to solve dis problem?

    I’m having the same issue.
    My phone indeed has no SIM card. I kept the 3GS after upgrading to an iPhone 4 and I was simply using it as an iPod Touch.
    As far as I had been told, I was perfectly OK to do that and it had been going fro update to update without any issue up to now.
    The problem is that iOS 5 requires a new activation, and that this model cannot be activated with a valid SIM. Obivously, I’m not going to take a new line with AT&T ad pay $xxx every month just to be able to activate my previous phone.
    I contacted AT&T but they had no clue how to get out of the problem and said it was in Apple’s hands anyway.
    I tried restoring 4.3.5 on the phone, but so far I haven’t been successful :-\
    I’m open to any suggestion

  • There is no sim card in the iPhone you are attempting to activate

    updated the phone today from 4.1 to 5.0, phone was jailbroke when i bought it, now when i plug in the phone  all that comes up is "There is no sim card in the iPhone you are attempting to activate"  i have tried all 4 mobile carriers in this country and still nothing.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks. I don't think this one was ever jailbroken, but I'll have to ask to be sure. Even so, a lot of people with 3gs's seem to have this same problem even if their phone was never jailbroken when they upgrade to 5.1.1.

  • There is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate what should i do now

    there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate what should i do now
    I upgraded my i phone 3gs from 4.1 to 6.1.6 then the above problem arised

    I too am having this problem. All I want to do is use my iCloud backup of my phone to fix a bug in IOS 7 that loop-prompts me to connect to iTunes. Anyone that has an answer to to OP would be greatly appreciated. There have been almost 3000 views on this page and only 8 posts that aren't much help at all so far. Enough with this 'Do you know how to read' white-space. I'm here for answers!!!
    However, I suppose I already have the answer. This is simply another example of Apple using their software to limit consumers of certain demographics (namely, people who have the phone but don't pay for service from a carrier). A SIM card is only required for activation because the software administrator says so; and for no other reason. The hardware is there and its perfectly functional otherwise. I shouldn't even need to activate in the first place. Just restore my freaking phone!!

    You cannot active a phone if it does not have a SIM card in it. Period. End of discussion.
    If you get this error and it has a SIM card in the phone then either the SIM card is defective or the phone is defective. Get a new SIM card and try again. If the problem occurs with the new SIM card the phone needs to be repaired.
