IPhone 4S displays 'No Service' or 'No SIM Card Installed' version 9A406 does not fix it

APPLE´S SOLUTION LISTED DOES NOT WORK.
THE STATE THAT AFTER RESTORING PHONE IN UPDATED ITUNES, PHONE WILL GET A NEW VERSION THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NO SERVICE AND NO SIM CARD INSTALLED.
BUT AFTER DOING IT 5 TIMES, CHANGING SIM CARD 2 TIMES AND STILL SAME ISSUE.
HOPE TO HEAR SOON FROM APPLE. A LOT OF SILENCE.
AND STILL A LONG WAY TILL THE PROBABLE IOS UPDATE ON MARCH 9TH. AND ONLY HOPING IR WILL REALLY FIX IT.
IF NOT, THIS IS A USELESS PHONE AND ONLY AN ITOUCH.
MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM.
HELP PLEASE.

You are right. Sorry gdgmacguy. I did not mean to appear yelling. My bad.
This is my correct message.
Apple's solution listed does not work.
Apple state that after restoring your iphone 4s with the new version, it will fix the problem.
But after reading many other posts like mine, and trying it myself 5 times, the problem does persist.
Hope to see a real solution from Apple soon. Hopefully in ios 5.1
Cheers.

    iPhone 4S displays 'No Service' or 'No SIM Card Installed' with iOS 5.1.1 (9B206).
    I have just started getting theihs issue the last couple of days where I am having the turn my phone off and on about 4 to 5 times a day. I have looked on the available posts and seen that this is a known issue on iOS 5.0.0 but was fixed for iOS 5.0.1. I have got iOS 5.1.1 (9B206).
    Is anyone else having this issue or knows how to fix?

    i used to get that , but i simply took out the sim card , dusted it and the sim tray and put it back in , and now i dont get it
    maybe the sim isnt positioned correctly , just my two cents
    hope this fixes it for you

    You're phone is locked to a carrier. You will need to contact the carrier you got you're phone from to have them unlock it.

  • Iphone 4 shows "No services " or "No Sim Card Insert"

    Hi all,
    I have this problem with my iphone 4 recently.
    When my phone is not in use for more than an hour, it either shows no services or no sim card insert. I yet to experience dropcall yet but i have miss several calls because of this.
    Everytime if i experience this, i would on airplane mode and off it to regain back the network.
    Im using starhub, call starhub but they say its not their network problem, so it prolly my sim card or iphone problem. Anyone facing the same problem ??
    Please help, thanks.

    Get a new SIM card. If it fixes the issue than it was the problem, otherwise it could be a hardware issue. If switching SIMs doesn't work then try the standard troubleshooting methods restart, reset & then restore. See if any of that works...

  • How do i activate my iPhone when it says there is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are trying to activate?

    I just got a new iphone 4 because my old one did work, when i tried activating the new one it give me problems and wont let me do anything on the phone. When i plug it into itunes i get a message there is no sim card installed in this device. Is there anyway i can restore the phone or anything to get it working?

    Then something is wrong with the new iPhone 4. Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store of there is one nearby.

  • Iphone 5, after 8.3 update, "no SIM card installed"  alert began.

    after 8.3 update, my phone alerts me with a "no sim card installed", i reboot my iphone, it works for minutes then same problem, and i'm sure that's caused by the last update.
    Your wars with jailbreakers stuff aren't our problem, please throw your updates without crashing our iphones.

    I am having this same issue. I upgraded a brand new iphone 4, unlocked, never been jailbroken or anything like that, and after i downloaded ios 5 and upgraded the phone to it, i'm getting "SIM not valid. Only compatible SIM cards from a supportted 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".
    No idea what to do....
    Any help is welcome!

  • IPhone works great , Just have a new sim card installed

    I read a lots of comments about the Iphone 4S . I had all the problems where it did work for a few minutes and tried everything . Main thing is you need a new sim card 128mb not the 64 . Do not use your old Sim card that you have on the Iphone 4 , Looks like it wares and does problems. I helped many friends where I am now at the Red Sea in our resort in Egypt and thye had many problems but one main thing was the Sim Card.
    Other than this no problems at all.
    good Luck and hope that you like your Iphone 4S

    No carrier "automatically" unlocks at end of contract - many won't do it at all, even if requested.  I don't know what your carrier's policy is since you didn't say what country you're in.
    However, if I understand you correctly, you didn't change carriers so it doesn't matter if it was unlocked or not. Try the following steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons for at least 19 seconds until the Apple logo appears
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    4. Replace SIM card (don't care what Telstra says)
    5. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    6. Take phone to Apple.

  • HT5554 I've had my iPhone 5 for awhile & now it's saying no SIM card installed. What can I do to fix this?

    I've had my iPhone 5 forever &amp; it started with a message No SIM card installed. How do I fix this?

    Insert a SIM card.
    If one is already inserted, remove and re-insert.
    If the problem continues, replace the SIM.

    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...

  • Iphone 5 says no service even if sim installed or not installed please help

    My iphone 5 running ios 8.1 says no service even if sim is installed or not installed. normally iphones say no sim when sim tray is out or empty but it says no service.I ve tried to reset network settings put on airplane mode but still the problem persists please help

    In order until the problem is resolved:
    Remove the current sim, clean the contacts, re-install the sim.
    Take the iPhone to your wireless provider to get a new sim installed.
    Take the iPhone to a physical Apple store for evaluation. Make a Genius
    Bar appointment beforehand to avoid delay.

    Its an IMEI issue.  In my case, about a year ago, after originally purchasing my iP4 from AT&T store, I had a prox. sensor issue.  Went to the Apple Store, they replaced the phone.  Here is where it all stems from.  The IMEI of the new phone was never updated in AT&T/Carriers systems.  For iOS updates prior to iOS5, this was not an issue.  My phone did its iOS updates along the way with no probs.  However, when I updated to iOS5, the firmware did not match the IMEI with what AT&T/carrier had.  When I went to Apple Store for the issue about 3 days ago and was given a new phone....again....the new phones IMEI was never updated with AT&T/carrier.  I then again attempted the upgrade to iOS5 with the new phone and iOS5 bricked that one also.  Today, at the store, we tried 3 replacements with same outcome.
    So, after 4 hours and 3 replacement phones with Apple Store Tech (BTW totally gobsmacked), we solved the issue.  Luckily, due to iPhone 4S launch, there was an AT&T guy there with a computer tied to the AT&T network to work along with us.  The issue is......once the IMEI's on carrier account and phone do not match, iOS5 shuts down the sim card reader within phone.....forever. How to reverse this?......this is a question Apple needs to come up with, because with my case, they have 5 "bricked" phones. 
    What solved the issue was to get a new phone with iOS4.3.5, new SIM from carrier/AT&T, have carrier/AT&T (in their system) change/match the IMEI to the new phone and activate new SIM.  Then, do iOS5 upgrade. 
    Simple and makes total sense..........however........there is an internal firmware (Apple Security??) issue that bricks the phone once IMEI's dont match. 
    I am now on iOS5.....no problems......so far.  Good luck to all others.
