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 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

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.

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

What Does iPhone Say After Inserting Non-AT&T SIM Card

Has anyone put in a non-AT&T SIM card in their iPhone? What does it say on the screen? Does it ask you for a code?
Just cross-checking with mine.

You don't need to open the iPhone to remove the SIM. There's a depressed button on the top that you can press with a bent paperclip, and the SIM tray pops right out. Actually, it's something that's recommended to do prior to sending iPhone in for service, if and when necessary. But, SIM cards for third parties are still not supported for use within the iPhone, and I'm sure there's some software or hardware limitations in place to prevent it from being hacked (for the time being).

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.

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.

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.

Never-hacked 4 gets "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone" after update to 7.0.2

I was using iOS 7.0.1 an hour ago. Upon update to 7.0.2 I get "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate."
I know I haven't a SIM. I threw it away. I moved on. New carrier - HTC phone. I've been using my iPone 4 as an iPod without the SIM for over half a year. Before that I did the same with my iPhone 3 for much longer.
What hoops do I have to jump through now to recover my iPhone 4?
The phone has never been jailbroken or altered.
ATT was my original sevrice provider while I bought my device from Apple.

All iPhones require activation after a restoration and an iOS upgrade. There really was no reason to throw your deactivated SIM from AT&T away. You'll need an AT&T sim to activate that phone. It doesn't need to be active, however. Borrow one from someone to get your phone activated

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.

I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan

You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source.

I have iphone 4s after update ios7 "There is no SIM card installed"

i have iphone 4s after update ios7 "There is no SIM card installed" i purchased from austuralia but now i am in egypt and i made the update here but the result my iphone not working now with any sim card
what can i do?

Maybe the SIM card is faulty one has not bee inserted correctly. Take the sim out and reinsert it. Try a different sim. Maybe the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier and when you updated it it relocked
