Invalid SIM-Card

My BB 7230 contains BB-Software Version 4.02.49. It was loaded from T-Mobile. I asked for an unlock-Code to work with Congstar SIM. T-Mobile looked in the IMEI-Database and found, this Phone isn't locked. It must run with the card.
But is doesn't. The Congstar card works fine in a Nokia Handy but in the BB 7230 soon after starting the
message comes : "invalid SIM-card". At the menu-position "SIM" the same (translated): no valid Sim-card.
T-Mobile Service knows no explanation and believes that this Phone is not able to work with new SIM-Card, for it were to old. I don't believe, that this is the true explanation of the problem
Who knows the reason und can give a solution?

You might contact www.horizonwirelessonline.com and inquire about the unlock. If they can't do it, no one can.

Due to invalid SIM card message can't run my iphone 4 after updating to iOS 7.0.2

Hi,
I updated my iphone 4 to iOS 7.0.2 and iTunes 11.1.1 but have not been started yet due to pops up a message " INVALID SIM CARD" though sim is active as well as pin is unlocked. Need your feedback soon.
Regards

Remove the current sim, clean the contacts, re-install the sim.
Contact your wireless provider and get a new sim.
Has the iPhone been previoulsy jailbroken or modified to work with
other than the original provider?

Invalid SIM card after trying to update iPhone 4 software to iPhone 4S software

When I have tried to download the new iPhone 4S software my phone has said, "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card." This has happened to me two other times. I have never taken out my SIM cards, and have always followed all the directions to update to the new iPhone software. The apple store has always been really confused when I have brought my iPhone in to solve the problem of having an "invalid SIM card" and has consequently figured out that my SIM card and iPhone have both been "fried" by trying to update to the new software and have subsequently given me a brand new iPhone each time. This is a very frustrating problem with apple, and takes too much time to correct every time. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Uninstatll iTunes. Restart your computer. Reinstall iTunes.

HT1937 iphone model A1387 problem with "invalid sim" card. How to reset

After about three months of trouble free use suddenly I have lost connection with cell phone carrier with a "invalid sim". I now understand its my model phone, A1387, so now how to fix this problem?

No not yet, its my understanding that this problem has been documented and their is fix out there somewhere. I bought this phone from Apple while on leave. Now I live in Kyrgyzstan, cell phone cariers are rare and to trouble shoot by purchasing another sim card, may work again but also may not work. So Iam seeking help with a more permanate fix/upgrade. I heard this is a problem with this model or this OS.

Invalid SIM card on iPhone 3GS

I live in south america btw. I updated the phone to iOS 5.0.1 and it didn't function correctly so I even had to fix it and now it just tells me at the activation step that the SIM card is not valid. Help ?

where is your phone from? was it originally sold as officially unlocked?
sounds like you're using a hacked phone, and by updating it, it has relocked to the original carrier.

No SIM card installed, No SIM, Invalid SIM card

Hello,
I'm getting No SIM card installed on my iPhone 4. I got a new SIM card and 15 minutes later same error. I've reset network settings and also tried a restore with no luck. Genius Bar recommended wiping and starting over without restoring from Backup. Was going to erase mine and start over tonight but....
My wife bought a brand new iPhone 4 from AT&T today... At exactly the same time both of our phones came up with the No SIM card installed message! Her brand new iPhone 4 said the same thing.... This is after I sync'd it up to iTunes, only a few songs and a bunch of apps.
There is something going on with either the network or something with the phone or iTunes causing a problem with the phone. I've almost pinned it to something in iTunes 10.1 because I think this started happening about the same time I updated to iTunes 10.1. Both of us are now on iTunes 10.1.1.4.
iOS 4.2.1 on both phones... Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
Thanks

I am having the same problem. I went to AT&T to get a new SIM card as someone suggested in another thread. Now I still get the same error message, but a lot more often at least once or twice a day. I have done hard resets each time and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Tech support suggested going to the Apple store, but the closes one is about 3 hours away.
As far as iTunes update, I think you are on to something because that is about the time mine started acting up. I am hoping an update in iTunes or the phone software will fix the problem.

"Invalid SIM card" message

that is the message I got on my phone today. It also says that "emergency calls only" but I have no problem making a call.
Any idea what this is about? as another peice of the puzzle, the back to my phone somehow vanished - could that have something to do with it?
thanks.

Hi hkj333:
I've seen this error message come up before, and I believe I have a solution you can try. Go to Settings> Wireless & Networks> Mobile Networks> Network Mode> Change it from Global to CDMA. Once done, the error should go away. From the sound of it, it's likely caused by your phone reading the SIM card that is not active in the Verizon Wireless system. Give it a shot and please follow up with your results.
Thanks,

My device showing invalid sim card what is the problem

sir i have a iphone 5s device with IMEI of 358805053170932,the device is brought from US ,And now currently in india ,the device carrier is Locked with US network provider Cricketer ,i did the country unlocking of the device but still the device showing the sim card is not valid what can i do to use the device

And how did you "unlock" the phone? Only the carrier can unlock the phone. And according to this Cricket does NOT allow for unlocking. In any case you will need to contact them. Apple does not unlock phones and there are no "codes" that unlock the iPhone.

My iphone 4s has been reporting invalid sim/sim card failure intermittently for a week. tried to solve problem permanently - in mid of reset all settings my sim card failed again. help! not backed up on icloud, just itunes. don't ask. thanks!

my iphone 4s has been reporting invalid sim/sim card failure intermittently for a week. I thought it was a one/two-time thing, so had to manually eject SIM card and put back in. Today, after it happened twice in 12 hours, someone told me to reset - i thought they meant reset all settings, not network settings. while in the middle of resetting, there was an invalid SIM card again. so a few questions - which should i do first? try to manually back up from itunes (not connected to cloud - will be after tonight!), or eject SIM card? don't know if one will jeopardize the other. also, the last time i backed up was 6 days ago - have taken hundreds of pics since then - are those all lost? is there a way to essentially not reset? i thought the reset was okay because it said i'd lose no data or media. Help! thanks much!

Please! Help me with my SIM card problem!

When I first bought the Blackberry Flip 8220, I was constantly having a problem with my SIM card and the signals. My signal would constantly drop down to none and would go into SOS mode. Not only that, but it would also say either "SIM Card Error,""Invalid SIM Card," or "Insert SIM Card." So, the RIM sent me a new replacement for the cellphone. For the first few days, it worked just fine but, as the time passed by, the phone started to have the similar problem. What's worse is that as the time passed, the more problem started to show up! Now, my side buttons aren't functioning and the rate of my phone experiencing the problem with the SIM card and the signals, similar to the ones mentions above, has risen drastically. For now, the side buttons aren't my priority but what I would like to find out is how come my phone is experiencing such problem with the SIM card and how I can fix it. Please, help me! Due to this problem, I can't even receive the international calls.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
I don't believe that RIM issues SIMs...the carriers issue the SIM cards since these activate your phone on their network. RIM doesn't care what network you use...but the carriers do
So, what I'd suggest is that you go see your carrier and find out what's going on with the bad SIM. It is also possible that the device itself has a problem with the SIM card contacts...in which case the advice is the same, your carrier provides your service, so going to see them is the right thing to do.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!

IPhone 4 invalid sim

Hi,
Late last year I returned my iPhone 4 to an Apple store as it was faulty. As it was out of warranty I paid a fee and had the phone replaced. I had not used this phone as I received an iPhone 5 at the same time. Today I went to set the phone up for a friend and it came up with a invalid sim card error saying "only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the sim card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement sim". I have tried two different sims and receive the same message. What is going on? and is this phone even going to be covered by warranty anymore (90 day service limited warranty?)

Being that apple have actually replaced the phone i have no idea who the provider would be (its definately not optus) trying to track down a telstra microsim now to try out as thats who the original phone was locked to before i had it unlocked (properly through telstra) so hopefully that works
