Another SIM Card Error
My iPhone has quit working because the SIM card is not registering. I have attempted to hook up to iTunes, but I am getting an error stating "iTunes cannot activat your iPhone because the SIM card is not inserted or a SIM PIN is required"
The phone was working just fine earlier. I started to download the update from iTunes, but had to interrupt and this is when the problem started.
I am in the US.
Please Help
Never ever ever interrupt updates - you will have a temporarily bricked phone. You cannot leave a computer with half an OS updated.
Perhaps try a http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 but you will lose the content of the phone, which at this stage, probably isn't a problem.

I have problems with my E65 after upgrading to the latest firmware (v3.xxx)
Every now and then it will prompt me with a message that shows "Sim card error" or "insert sim card".
The sim card is always in the phone. It was never a problem before. Also, I have remove the sim card from the E65 and test it on another phone (HTC) and there were no such problem.
That concludes the problem is on the E65. Pls kindly help.
Thanks.I also had this problem on my E51, but have now managed to find the cause. It actually has nothing to do with the SIM card, so don't bother replacing it.
If the phone is kept in one place and isn't moved, the message never appears, but then that defeats the purpose of having a mobile phone!
The problem is caused by the connectors on the battery, which should form a tight grip around the the pin connectors of the phone. The battery that came with my phone never caused the problem, but when I inserted a replacement, every now and then when I put the phone in my pocket, the 'Insert Sim Card' notice would appear
I then compared the two batteries and noticed the replacement's connectors were further apart than the original's. Carrying the phone in my pocket obviously caused some movement, which momentarily disconnected it from the battery and caused the phone to error.
Since then, I have only used the original battery. However, I suspect the problem could be fixed by using a small instrument to bring the battery connectors closer together or by inserting a small piece of aluminium foil to ensure a constant connection.
Not sure, but this may also work for N95/E65 users too.
The E51 is a fantastic phone and the best one I have used to date. -

I have had my DNA since mid February, and started having SIM card issues within a month. After the phone update came out to "eliminate" the SIM card error it went until almost July without one hiccup. However, a few weeks ago I started getting the error about every other day. Now I am having to remove and reinsert the SIM card multiple times a day. I have also learned to restart the phone to fix the issue when its inconvenient to remove the card (which is almost always). I have not done a factory reset because I have seen that it fixes nothing. I am still using the original SIM card because I have seen no results from others replacing the card. Verizon and HTC need to get this figured out ASAP. I will never buy another HTC product, and am strongly considering another company for my cell phone usage. The consumer should not have to deal with this issue, or pay for another phone. We should be compensated and offered out of the contract or an alternate device. What is going to happen if someone has a SIM card issue and cannot use their phone to call the police? Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen...
It's not just HTC devices that have displayed this problem, there is a thread of people having this same issue with the Galaxy S3. It seems as though the most consistent fix has been to put a small piece of scotch tape on the back of the SIM card before inserting it. Sounds to me like there is just a little too much play in the SIM slot and the bit of extra pressure solves it.

I'm getting a no SIM card error. When I got a new SIM card it now says no service! My cell provider assures me it's not on their end, which makes sense as we have 2 more iPhones on the same account! Any ideas?
I would try to verify the steps taken in this article:

-If after you do all steps and issue still isnt resolved I would contact Apple Store or Apple Care (phone service) tell them all the steps you have done and look into replacement options. -
Hello i try to use another SIM card with my iphone 4s now it said i need to unlock the phone with my Sim carrier ... here is what it says below
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.So.. You need to contact the carrier for the iPhone's original sim card, and request they unlock it. The carrier is the only one that can unlock the sim of the iPhone.

My iPhone5 prompts while setting up "This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you are attempting to use.Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier" or "Request that this iPhone be unlocked" How can I unlock my new iPhone5 to function properly?
That means that the phone is locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
Where exactly did you get this "new" iPhone 5? -

Use of Iphone 3Gs with another SIM card
I purchased an Iphone 3Gs in France from Orange without a contract, i.e. paid the full price and therefore it should be unlocked. I now want to use it for trips and put another SIM card in it. Now after resetting it, it simply tells me that the SIM is invalid... Any suggestions?
Call Orange. Even though it should have been unlocked, they still lock it until you ask them to unlock it. They're obligated to unlock it, so don't let them tell you otherwise.

The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.
what does it mean?Have a look in Settings>Carrier
Again YOU cannot unlock it - only the original carrier can do it -

This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.Sounds like you are trying to use an iPhone that is locked to a particular
wireless carrier with the sim from another wireless carrier. Contact the wireless
provider that the iPhone is locked to and ask if they offer unlocking and if
you qualify. Only the wireless carrier that the iPhone is locked to can unlock
it. -
hi i updated my iphone but it says that This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked. how can i unlock this one?
Your iPhone was hacked or jailbroken before and through the update it locks back to the original carrier. Only the original carrier can unlock the iPhone. You have to contact them and find out what the procedure you needs to follow.
