IPhone 4 "NO SIM CARD INSTALLED"

My parents got me a brand new iPhone from Vodafone. Everything has been working fine for 1 week till I suddenly got this error " NO SIM CARE INSTALLED". I can fix it easy but I have to remove the SIM and re-insert it, a thing which isn't hard but I need to keep that little "key" with me.
Any solutions ?
P.S Sorry for my bad english.

Hi Friend,
Eject your SIM card from your device and then place it again inside. If the issue persists, probably your SIM card broke. Contact your carrier to get a new one.
Hope it helps

  • Iphone 3gs "no sim card installed" issue after updating iOS

    I have an iPhone 3Gs. Last week I started updating the iOS of the phone then, I was brought to the page wherein I need to activate the phone. After going through some tabs to tap, the screen says " iphone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable, try to connect to iTunes. So I followed what is instructed. I connected the phone to iTunes but the message says, There is no sim card installed on your iphone. Before I updated the phone, the sim card was not inside the phone, so I inserted it back after the message "no sim card installed, try to disconnect and insert your sim card". But still nothing happened, the message keeps appearing. Also, I can see a "No service" message on the upper Ieft part of the phone. Is the sim card not inside the phone before updating the iOS the main reason why the phone cannot recognize the sim card? first time iphone user here, my aunt gave me this iphone. I really need help. Thank you so much

    Ask your aun if the phone was hacked/jailbroken. Those problems are symtomatic of a hacked phone.

  • IPhone 4  "No SIM card installed"  even though the SIM card is  in there

    Hi,since today I have no mobile phone network on the iPhone. Whenever I start it up it says: No SIM card installed. Although they put in it. I switched the iPhone several times, and took out the SIM card and inside she put back in, but nothing happened there. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Thanks

    Could be a bad SIM card. My son's iPhone 4 started doing the same thing so I took it to a local AT&T store and they replaced the SIM for free. It's worked every since.

  • Is it safe to sell my iPhone with the SIM card installed?

    I sold my iPhone 5 and forgot to take the SIM card out. I deleted everything off it. Do I have anything to worry about?

    You should have removed it. You cannot delete anything off the SIM, and the iPhone does not write anything to the SIM, however it does contain your wireless account info. But, since it is gone, not a lot you can do about it, but if the card is not active and disabled by the carrier then the person buying the phone will not be able to use it anyway. They will have to get their own and will get rid of that one.

  • My iphone 5 had msg "no sim card installed" yesterday and today I can not charge my phone.

    Yesterday at work I received a message on my iPhone 5 "no Sim card installed".  I did a hard reboot and went outside for verizon signal.  After a couple of minutes the phone was back to normal.  Last night I plugged phone in to be charged it started to charge--around 8pm.  Went back to phone at midnoght to unplug and phone was down to nothing.  The the lighting plug icon and battery meter was showing and meter is in very low red area.  I tried different plugs from my other apple devices and still no luck.  Are the two problems related or two separate issues? How can I fix the problem?

    Hello ejsheb
    Charging your iPhone and having cellular service sounds to me like two separate issues.  Check out the article below in the sections of Power/Battery and General phone and connectivity issues for troubleshooting issues with charging and getting an alert that No SIM installed or No Service.

  • HT4623 please help me when update my i phone 3G i finish update but face problem , appear me msg There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone You ar attempting to activate. Please disconnect

    please help me < when update my i phone 3G < i finish update but face problem , appear me msg There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone You ar attempting to activate. Please disconnect

    Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier.  Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier.  You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

  • 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.

    ATT Iphone 6 intermittently says no sim card installed, but works the rest of the time.  thoughts?

    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.

  • Iphone 3gs no longer will work  after iOs5 update,comes up with message ' there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help me please. I am working as a volunteer in a remote location in Asia and no where near an Apple shop etc?

    I have tried to  update my 3GS phone and now it longer works as it comes up with message there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help please as I am no where near technical support as I am working as volunteer in remote Asian country

    Hi Allan,
    Thanks for asking, I knew I had forgotten to mention something. The phone was indeed unofficially unlocked, since there were no apple stores or even premium resellers in the region I lived in during the given procedure had to be done.
    I understand this could be a further complication, especially the fact the home button does not work. However, I was wondering if there would be a possibility to use a third-party application instead of iTunes to restore the iPhone? IF someone does know of such an application, I could easily solve further problems myself. Basically, the main issue here is my lack of ability to enter DFU mode.

    It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
    If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked.

    The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
    It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...
    If this is the case... you are out of luck... Because...

  • AT&T Unlock iPhone 4 without a Sim Card installed question

    I just put in my request to unlock my iPhone 4 from AT&T.
    My contract has expired, and my old phone number is no longer active as of about 2 weeks ago, I also no longer live in the US (I've already travelled abroad), but they said that it would have no problem to unlock my iPhone as it's all done via iTunes.
    I still have my old AT&T Sim card, but the number is not activate and like I said I'm in another country.
    I have heard for the unlock process to be completed you need an activate sim card installed in the phone. Does it matter what carrier's sim I use (can I use a local one?) or does it absolutely have to be an AT&T sim?
    I'm in Dubai now and have an active prepaid du sim card (they said it can easily be cut to micro-sim).
    Contacing AT&T from here is a nightmare (the "international" number they gave me won't dial out and the website won't let me access my old account info since it's closed now and thus can't access their web chat either).

    From another poster in the Communities: 
    Stipulations      
    •     Phone must be off contract or you must be in the military traveling abroad.     
    •     Account must be in good standing for the last 30 days.     
    •     You must have valid email or phone number where you can be reached when the unlock is completed by Apple.  
    How it works:      
    1.     Call AT&T at 1-800-331-0500 and go through the prompts to get to a customer service agent     
    2.     Have your IMEI # ready along with your active email address and current phone number     
    3.     If your phone qualifies then AT&T will submit a request to Apple to authorize the unlock on your phone. (AT&T will tell you right then on the phone if it can be done )     
    4.     Make sure you get your case number in the event something doesn't go through so you can get support from AT&T.     
    5.     Once you recieve the email from Apple, open iTunes and transfer purchases, backup your phone and then perform a restore.     
    6.     Once this process is complete your phone should now be unlocked to use other carriers.
    It will be up to you to find a way to call a US 800 number from outside the country; do a web search and you should find suggestions.
    Regards.

  • I upgraded my 3gs to the iOS5 software, but it keeps telling me on my iphone and my itunes that it cannot activate my iphone! Then my iTunes said there is no SIM card installed. HELP!

    I upgraded my 3gs to the iOS5 software, but it keeps telling me on my iphone and my itunes that it cannot activate my iphone! Then my iTunes said there is no SIM card installed. HELP! I can't seem to even restore, which is what I was told to do by the Apple Store.

    Hi there,
    if your phone has ever been replaced by Apple (within or outside of warranty), have Apple check their records to which carrier your iPhone (its IMEI number) is currently locked to.
    If it is locked to any other than the carrier you have your SIM-card from, ask the folks at Apple to have your phone's lock adjusted to your carrier. Once that is done, there is a good chance that your phone will work again.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris
