Help any ideas my I phone says no sim card installed

The SIM card might not be resting properly in the tray which causes the issue. Remove pop out the SIM card, turn off the phone, make sure it's resting properly and firmly into the tray, pop it back in, and turn on your phone!
This should solve your question

My phone is saying No SIM card installed, when I clearly have my SIM inserted?

My phone is saying No SIM card installed, when I clearly have my SIM inserted. I can't make or receive calls. What can I do to fix this?

Did you already try to remove it and put it back again?
When changing the SIM card, power off the device prior to opening the SIM tray. After you have changed the SIM card for your iPhone you may need to reconnect it to iTunes.
iPhone keeps a record of previously inserted SIM cards, but if the carrier name of your SIM does not show up in the status bar after you changed the SIM you will need to reconnect iPhone to iTunes. If you do not connect iPhone to iTunes after changing or reinserting the SIM, iPhone may not work as expected.
If iPhone does not work with the SIM card after connecting to iTunes, you might need to restore your iPhone. Consult the iPhone User's Guide for more information on iTunes and iPhone.
If your iPhone does not show up in iTunes (on the left hand side of the iTunes window under Devices), please see the following links for assistance:
iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Windows

If this does not work, contact your provider, maybe your SIM is damaged.

Jailbroken phones can not be discussed here.
It's highly likely that it is now bricked. The jailbreak most likely did permanent damage. There are lots of reports of previously jailbroken/hacked phones that become unusable when attempting to apply a legitimate unlock.

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.

IOS 6 installed but now it says no Sim card installed....what the??

Ok I believe I got iOS 6 installed finally...... But........I start the ohone up now....it wants me to pick language and then country which I do....then it says there is no Sim card installed ....say what?.....its been in there for 4 years......whats up with this.....does Apple have a cure for this?
I have removed it a few times and reinstalled it....same thing

Most likely your phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock. When you updated, the hack was removed and the phone re-locked to its original carrier. It will now operate only with a SIM card from that carrier.

HT4623 my new i phone 5 say the sim card u inserted i this i phone in not sported but i put in another one the sim card work what can i do for this

i buy anew i phone 5 from ksa from karfor market to use in egypt
when i insert the sim inside i the i phon dosnt work and say the the sim card inserted in this i phone is not supported
so i try the sim in another i phone it work
what can i do for this proplem

The iphone where the sim didn't work is probably locked to a carrier. You need to contact the carrier of that phone. If it's unlocked, then I'm not sure what the problem is, given that the sim works in another phone.

Had a simalar problem. But we weren't getting any service. AT&T said it was a defective SIM card and pretty much everyone that bought an AT&T iPhone 6 from the online store had a defective sim. had to buy a new sim from best buy because att were sold out because the problem was so wide spread.

I just got a notice to update my firefox to 4.0 and when I downloaded the new software it indicated: that I can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. Any ideas about what might be wrong and how to fix it?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Original iPad 3G 64GB intermittantly says no sim card installed

My iPad, original 3G 64 GB intermittantly says no sim card installed. There is no pattern as to when this occurs. Retarting the iPad sometimes helps. I have removed the sim card, blown out the sim slot and reintalled the sim card. I have done everything I can think of short of restoring back to factory condition. I have since been lent another iPad (identical to mine) and have installed my original sim card. So far, no issues. This leads me to believe it is an issue with the iPad itself. Can anyone offer any suggestions or help?
Thanks,
Art M.

If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so.
