Iphone not reading SIM card

any ideas of what to do?

How do you know the problem is the SIM card?
If you really believe it is a corrupted SIM card you need to get a new SIM from AT&T. Apple does not provide new AT&T SIMs.
Take the iPhone to AT&T and have them check it out.

    If you are both on the T-mobile network, the sim card should work.  If you did a Erase All Content and Settings, then she should be at the point of activation as a new device...talk to T-mobile and be sure the sim she is using is a valid sim card.

  • Iphone not recognizing SIM card

    Since I bought my Iphone about 5 months ago, a few times it would say that there is no SIM card inserted, when in fact there had been one. I would remove and reinsert the card or do a hard shut down and restart and the problem would go away. Yesterday, as I was scanning my applications a error message came on saying it did not recognize a network. Then I noticed the functions on would not work. Basically it froze. So I restarted it. Once the apple logo went off there was an icon of a USB to be connected to iTunes, with no other functions working. I then patched it to my laptop and the error message on the laptop said that there was no SIM card in the Iphone. thinking its a SIM card problem I inserted someone elses SIM in my iphone. Same problem. I inserted my SIM in another iphone. No problem. It was not a SIM card issue. Without the iphone recognizing the SIM card the phone could not even be reset.
    I took the phone to the Service provider in Malaysia MAXIS. They said the iphone is defective and had to be taken in for repair. The problem is they will most probably replace the phone, However there policy with Apple they say is that I have to WAIT 6-8 WEEKS for a new set. How ridiculous is that?
    The worry I have now is that all my apps that I bought, what will happen to them? All the online games that I have been leveling up for months, what happens there? I could never sync my phone with my laptop when it came to the apps. It just would not sync!
    It is disappointing to think that Apple does not have a solution to customer software and program issues.

    You're right - it is ridiculous however thats not a decision made by Apple, but by Maxis. If Apple were asked to rpovide immediate replacements, they would do so and Maxis would have to pay the price. Under warranty, in other countries we can go into an Apple store and get an immediate replacement.

    Gave my old iPhone 4 to my husband. He has now got himself a sim only contract, but SIM card is not registering with phone and showing no service. What can I do?

    Take it to the Cell provider's store and let them do it.
    Just make sure the phone is completely wiped.

    I Have an iPhone 4. Since few days my iPhone is not recognizing my SIM Card. I tried all the suggustions for the net but none worked out. How can I recover my iPhone from this problem?

    Um... ya think?  You might have mentioned that up front...
    Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement phone is $149.
    You broke it.

  • Upgraded 3GS to 6.0.1 now will not read SIM card

    I tried to update 3GS to the new 6.0.1 but it now says the there is no SIM card and it can not be activated.

    Your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to unlock it and it has new relocked to the original carrier. Contact whatever carrier it is locked with and find out what their unlock process is. If you do not know call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number.

  • 5800 not reading sim cards anymore!

    hi guys, I am in the UK on the O2 network and i just recently cancelled my contract with them. I was using the 5800 with this contract and it was cancelled today when i checked my phone and there was no operator signal.
    So i proceeded to switch that simcard to one of my other contracts and now the phone won't work with the other simcard(o2 as well). The phone is unlocked( i paid to unlock it), and now whatever sim i throw into it it just says "insert simcard" when i go into the network settings.
    What has happend?

    Hey Kevz65, Welcome to the Nokia discussions forum!
    Here are some steps to help figure out what is wrong with your phone, and hopefully in the end get you up and running.
    -Ensure that the SIM card is inserted correctly. For device specific instructions how to insert SIM card, refer to the User Guide of your device available either in the sales package or on the local Nokia web site.
    -Ensure that the SIM card is attached tightly and properly in the SIM card slot. The SIM card lock is not bent or damaged and it is closed.
    -Use the original battery that comes with the device.
    -Try with a new or different SIM card. If another SIM card does not give error message, contact your network operator or service provider to verify that your SIM card is not corrupted or is properly configured.
    -If the problem persists with another SIM card, please contact Nokia Care.
    If your SIM card reads "Not Accepted", your first step would be to contact your network operator or service provider.
    I hope this helps!

  • N95 suddenly not reading sim card

    Hello I woke up this morning to find a comedy of errors with my n95 - after 2.5 months of perfect operation (bar a few resets) and with the latest firmware - the **bleep** thing refused to turn on despite leaving it on with the charger plugged and with full battery the night before. After several frantic attempts and battery reinsertion the phone burst back into life, but attempted charges came up with the message "phone not charging" this eventually went away but now the main problem.
    The things not reading ANY sim card I put in it, these cards work in any other phone I put them in. Has the handset cocked up and needs to be sent back or is there some option I have not tried?

    Does it ask for a pincode from cold start (switched off)?

  • HT1843 Not reading sim card

    My iPhone will not read my sim care.

    If your iPhone is under warranty then you should have no problem seeking assistance at an Apple store.... but before you do, and I don't know if with SIM problems you still have access to standard menus but on the assumption that you do: try opening Settings, hit General and scroll down to Reset and then do a Reset Network Settings. Often a good place to cure intermittent network issues and maybe you are experiencing something along these lines.

    It sounds like your phone is broken. And now that you have had a non-Apple shop open it Apple won't help you.

  • I bought an iPhone 5 but does not accept sim card.How to do?

    I bought an iPhone 5 but does not accept sim card.How to do?

    Exactly, what do you mean by "does not accept sim card"? Are you saying you purchased a carrier locked iPhone & you can't use a sim from a different carrier? If so, that's the way it works. Carrier locked iPhones can only be used/activated on the carrier's network the phone is locked to. Either return it for a refund or contact the carrier the phone is locked to to see if they offer official unlocking.

  • HT4972 my iphone is not installed sim card.so I can't update my iphone.

    my iphone is not installed sim card.so I can't update my iphone.

    That's correct, without a supported SIM card you can't set up the phone.
    If your carrier supports unlocking, you can use any SIM after your phone has been unlocked by the provider:
    iPhone: Wireless carrier support and features
    iPhone: About unlocking
    Follow the instructions in this article to unlock your iPhone for use with different carriers.
    Follow these instructions to initiate the unlocking process for your iPhone:
    Check if your carrier offers unlocking. Only your carrier can unlock your iPhone.
    Contact your carrier and request an unlock.You may need to meet certain requirements to qualify for unlocking. After your carrier submits the unlocking request, it may take up to seven days.
    Once you receive confirmation from your carrier that your iPhone unlock has been processed, proceed to the next section.
    If you have a SIM card from a carrier that is different from your current carrier, and you've received confirmation from your current carrier that your iPhone is unlocked, follow these steps:
    Eject your SIM card and insert the new SIM card.
    Complete the setup process.
    If you do not currently have another SIM card you can use, follow these steps to complete the process:
    Back up your iPhone.
    Erase your iPhone.
    Complete the setup assistant and restore your backup.
    Additional Information
    If you experience issues or receive the following error message displayed in iTunes or on your device, follow the steps below:"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported. 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 store."
    Restore your iPhone.
    Contact your carrier to verify that the unlock was applied in your carrier's system.

  • HT1937 Have a AT&T iphone 4 and it will not let me login to the iPhone without a sims card and if you use a AT&T sims card it won't work

    Have a AT&T iphone 4 and it will not let me login to the iPhone without a sims card and if you use a AT&T sims card it won't work

    Define "won't work"...
    You can not activate an iPhone without a SIM. If the phone is carrier locked, you must have a valid Sim from the correct carrier.
    What EXACTLY is the message you're getting?

    You say "... but now panorama is not working".  Panorama never was supposed to work before iOS 6, so you'll be using it for the first time with iOS 6.
    The way to enable panorama is to open the camera, click the "options" button at the top center, and select panorama.
    Does this work on your iPhone?  If not, what symptoms of failure do you experience?
