Ipad1 says no sim card installed.  Used to work until ios 5 upgrade.

This has been an occasional problem, fixed in the past by switching into airplane mode and off again.
No it just remains on 'no SIM' all the time.
Confused & frustrated.
Tried taking SIM out & in again
Tried resetting network connections
No joy.  Any ideas !!

For those who might be interested on this topic, I found out there are no issues with the new version of iOS not the iPhone itself.
The problem was the SIM card.
According to the seller, the micro-SIM card used on the iphones tends to fail due to equipment's heating.
It was replaced by a brand new one and it is running with no error messages anymore.
With that said, if you face this kind of problem, try to contact your local carrier' store to replace the SIM card.
This worked for me and hope it works to whom might face this kind of issue.
Regards,
Eduardo

    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.

    Use a supported SIM card.
    Remove/re-install the SIM.
    Try a different SIM.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Why does my iPad say No SIM card installed?

    When I plugged in my ipad to charge a message came up that said:  No SIM card installed.  Is this OK?

    Check the right and left sides of your iPad for a small hole the size of a paper clip (remove your smart cover if you have one).  If you see this, then you have the wifi + cellular model.  If you do, use a paper clip to remove the sim tray (or the sim removal tool that came with your iPad if you have it) as shown in the image below. 
    If the tray has a sim card in it, push the sim tray back in to re-seat it in the side of the iPad, then turn it on to see if the error message re-appears.  If it re-appears, take it to a Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
    If you have a sim tray but it is empty, you'll need to go to a Verizon store to get a sim card for it.

    Hi CusMan!
    I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot that issue:

    The article is written toward iPhone users, but the steps for troubleshooting on the iPad are the same. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
