  • How to fix "no sim card" message?

    I keep getting the "no sim card installed" message when I'm in the middle of a phone call (iphone 4).  I turn the phone off then on and that seems to help but it happens again eventually.  Has happened every time I'm talking on my iphone in the past two days!

    Virgin use the Optus network here in Australia - which is why, the 3G phones showed you connected to the Optus network, and not to the Virgin network...They don't have their own network, they piggyback on Optus - which is why it would show that it is locked to Optus!
    They also said they would unlock my iPhone 4 - which has been done!  So there's obviously something wrong with the phone...

    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.

    Or if you've recently got the phone unlocked then you'll need to connect it to  itunes and then do a fresh restore to unlock it ,although for most users simply connecting to itunes for few seconds did the trick.

  • Fix "no sim card installed can not activate iphone"

    Ok, bought an iphone 3gs a few weeks ago. When it arrived it had a sticker on the side that said "phone is unlocked. Do not restore or update with itunes".  Well first off, they sent me the wrong phone. I paid for an iphone for at&t service. So i thought that doing a restore would get me the phone i wanted. Upon completing the restore i did a reboot of the phone and it was at the configure screen. Put my sim card in and followed the steps to activate the phone. It would not activate, suggests i try thru itunes. Connected to itune and waited, then the screen stated the quote above. I have done several restores and it will not activate. Is there a solution, or do i now have an $300 paper weight?

    Where did you buy it? It seems to me that you didn't buy the phone in an official shop. That sticker that says to not update etc... Seems like your iPhone is factory sim locked and that the person who sold it unlocked it with a non official software. Therefore, You should go p back to the person who sold you the phone and complain there.

  • How to make tmobile sim card work on iphone 4

    My daughter has a SIM pay monthly deal on T-Mobile and I have just bought an unlocked to EE/Orange/T-Mobile iphone4.
    Why can the number not receive/make calls or texts?
    SIM only pay monthly 10 (12 months) is the phone plan

    Are you seeing the EE (or T-Mobile) network name and network bars in the top right hand corner of the screen?  Turn off WiFi (Settings>WiFi - turn this off).  Is there anything next to the network name in the top right hand corner (3G, E or o)?  E is Edge and o = GPRS.
    If there's nothing next to the network name, turn off the iPhone and then turn it back on.  To do this, press and hold down the button on the top until you see the 'Slide to Power Off' message.  Slide and then wait for the iPhone to shut down.  To turn it back on again, press and hold the top button again unti lkthe Apple logo shows on the screen.
    EE and signal bars top left = Yes
    Turned off Wifi and next to the EE is 'o' which you say is GPRS? What does that mean please??
    Got this reply from another forum but still no success???

  • Hi, my new Iphone 6 started to show an alert that reads: "No SIM card installed" any ideas on how to fix this, now I can't use my phone and is only 1 week old... HELP SOS

    I have a new IPhone 6 just went to the store last Saturday to connect it, (I am replacing my IPhone 5s) it says that I am updated on IOS 8.0.2 but now started to show a message that reads like this: " No SIM card installed" and I have no phone line or anything, my carrier is Sprint and I just got back from there and they told me that this is something I have to deal with APPLE because they have nothing to do with software. Anybody experiencing the same thing? any light in the tunnel? HELP....

    Hello henry lfrommiami,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone gives you the message "No SIM Card installed" please follow the steps below.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    Turn airplane mode on and then off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Check for a carrier settings update. Go to Settings > General > About. Install any available update.
    Remove the SIM card and make sure that it's a valid SIM that your carrier provided. Also make sure that it's not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
    A SIM tray that comes with one iPhone model won't necessarily work with a different iPhone model. When you insert the correct SIM tray, the SIM tray should be flush with the device.
    If you have another SIM card, insert it. You can use a SIM card from any phone with the same format as your iPhone SIM card. If your iPhone works with that SIM card, contact the carrier that issued your original SIM card.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you still see the issue, contact Apple support.
    If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

    I've had my iPhone 5 forever & it started with a message No SIM card installed. How do I fix this?

    Insert a SIM card.

    If the problem continues, replace the SIM.

  • How did I end up with "no SIM card installed"?

    My phone was working fine I made calls and sent texts. The all of a sudden I received a message that said "No SIM Card installed".  The phone has not been out of my possesion and I don't even know how to get to the SIM card.
    HAs anyone else had this issue? How do I fix it?

    Take the SIM card out and replace it.  If that fails, get a replacement SIM from your carrier.  If that still fails your phone is broken and you'll need to go to Apple for evaluation.

    The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
    It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...

    You could try removing the sim card and cleaning it - then put it back.
    I assume that there is supposed to be a sim card in your model of iPhone 5 ?
