Get a replacement Nano-SIM from your carrier.

    Ok, that still doesn't mean anything or provide any useful information to help with your issue.
    I'm going to take a guess, you bought a second hand iphone from a girl and now you want to use it with your phone carrier, but it says invalid sim.
    sounds like you bought a phone that is still locked to a different phone carrier, contact that girl and find out.

  • My iphone keeps saying no sim when the sim is in it

    my iphone keeps saying no sim when the sim card is in

    There appear to be a number of posts about this topic.
    I have the same problem with my iPad 2. Worked fine for months, and now suddenly the iPad seems to 'loose' the SIM card and reports in the top-left corner it reads: 'No SIM'.
    Some findings from my side, while trying to address this:
    - when I switch to flight mode and then turn flight mode off again, the problems goes away, but comes back after a few minutes
    - same happens when I do a full power off.
    - I got a new SIM card from my provider. Same issue.
    - once you 'lost' the SIM card, it never comes back. (only after full power off - see above).
    - I contacted Apple Care today and they told me that this was not a known problem to them. Well, now it is :-)
    - Apple Care suggested to me to perform a full reset of the iPad. This is standard procedure and this was not a specific recommended action in relation to this problem. But suggest to perform this procedure anyway. In Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. With this you do not loose your data, but you will need to configure your network/password settings, game center password, etc.
    For now this appears to have fixed it....
    Good luck,
    Anton

  • My iPhone 5 says my SIM card is not present

    My iPhone 5 says SIM card missing. This happens several times a day and the phone will not work.

    Power the iPhone off first and try removing and reinserting the SIM card.
    If no change after that, contact your carrier to request a new SIM card.
    If no change after that, call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • Why does my Iphone 5 say No SIM

    why does my iphone 5 say no SIM

    Because it has no SIM?
    If it has a SIM card, have you tried removing and inserting it again?

  • Iphone 4 says no sim card

    my Iphone4 was just working fine, lost service then all of a sudden it's saying "no sim" & I turned off my phone, turned back on & still says no sim..

    May also clean the gold contacts on the SIM while it is out. Use a soft white rubber eraser (NOT the pink one at the end of a pencil; much too abrasive).

  • New iPhone 5 / Says No SIM, even with SIM! Paying for Help! :)

    I'm going to make this quick! :/
    PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING!
    I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a iPhone 5.
    I cut the SIM card with a SIM card cutter. Micro to Nano.
    I use AT&T, and I'm just a teen.
    My new iPhone 5 just arrived!
    I bought it off eBay, from a trusted seller.
    It is real, and when I booted it up for the first time, it sets it up, and asks to put in a SIM card to activate it.
    I put it in, and it acts like I didn't even do anything.
    No "Searching..." or anything!
    It just stays at "No SIM", like when it arrived.
    Here is the phone I bought:
    goo.gl/QClXyj
    It says, "With Contact."
    All I know is, is that my family uses AT&T and pays every month or whatever.
    We have data plans, 10GB Family Shared.
    I asked the seller if it would work, right after putting in my SIM.
    I also asked this other person from other forums, and he said yes.
    I took it out, blew on it, no dust or anything.
    By the way, I put the SIM card back into my old iPhone 4, with a nano-to-micro adapter and it works, so the SIM card isn't the problem. (I think.)
    I tried rebooting the phone, etc.
    Please help, thanks!

    I FORGOT TO ADD!
    IT DIDN'T COME WITH A LIGHTNING CHARGER!
    I WILL HAVE TO BUY ONE ONLINE SOON.

  • IPhone 4s says "Invalid SIM" with IOS 7.1

    I have an unlocked Iphone 4s for T-mobile which allowed me to use the iphone on a metropcs plan with a metro SIM card. I switched to metro on Sunday, today being Tuesday, and it worked perfectly, perfect 4g, perfect T-mobile carrier. Yesterday, Monday, I took a trip to publix and my phone read "No service" and I figured it was an itch and I had no service in publix. But this morning, Tuesday, it still read "no service" even at school, which worked fine on Monday. So I restarted my iphone and then it read "Invalid SIM" and I looked up how to fix that: restarted it by taking out sim and putting it back in, didn't work. Airplane mode on/off, didn't work. Then I read to update completely, to IOS 7.1, which I did and it still did not work. I cleaned my SIM card, didn't work. Reset all settings, didn't work. I read all over that the SIM card may be damaged due to the updates but my sim card wasn't working even before I updated. I'm currently about to restore my phone in hopes of fixing it sigh, but tomorrow, if still not working, I will take it to metro and request a new SIM. Any other ideas guys :---(

    Hi,
    I also noticed a SIM related problem iPhone 5 after upgrading to IOS 7.1.
    It does not happen consistently, but I noticed that in certain times, iPhone "reception signal level" turns into "NO SIM" or "No SIGNAL" although SIM is perfectly fine and singal strength is high.
    I have no idea why it happens, but it started only yesterday after I upgraded to IOS 7.0.1.
    Apple engineers, please check this.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Get a sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to. If you don't know what carrier that is, you'll have to call AppleCare to find out.

    My iPhone keeps saying No SIM.  How can I get it to recognize the SIM card?

    TRy removing the sim card wipe it clean then insert it again. Your sim card tray might be dusty. Another option is turning your airplane mode on and off.
    btw, is your network signal strong in the area where you are currently? Ask ATT  if there  is any area outage

    No, I did not find a way to fix it.  Went to Apple store to be told that the phone is dead and I would need to purchase a new phone.  A little frustrated with the fact that it is Apple who caused the phone to not work!
