My ipad2 shows "no SIM card installed", I have resorted the factory settings but in vain. May someone help?

My iPad cannot recognise any SIM card inserted. It shows "No SIM card installed". I tried restored itnbut still go the same error message. Who could hlelp

Sounds like the spacer could help. The chance of having broken connector is slim as the problem is gone with rising temperature. If it is the case with temperature, why i could not see the same problem with other iPad users from cooler regions? Room temp around15c should be a very normal working temperature, right?

You could try removing the sim card and cleaning it - then put it back.
I assume that there is supposed to be a sim card in your model of iPhone 5 ?

Ipad3 shows no sim card installed.

older iPad 3. iOS 7.1.2 shows no sim card installed. How do you remedy this problem?

Are you sure it isn't the Wi-Fi only model? If it does have cellular then you need a cellular account and a SIM from that provider.

IPhone 3gs shows no Sim Card installed in newly unlocked phone.

My uncle has just givin me his old I phone 3GS which was locked on Orange.
He has paid for the phone to be unlocked and orange have emailed over the confirmation that it is unlocked and how to unlock it.
This is where the problems start. Windows recognises that there is a phone and I tunes tries to activate the phone but it cannot and the No Sim Card installed message appears (even though there is a brand new Tesco I phoen sim). I have taken the phone into recovery mode and restored from there, however this has still not resolved the problem.
Once the system restores the software the phone restarts to the menu screen and the same message appears.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is so frustrating.

ITunes say's there is no sim card installed

I've had the iphone 3 for a while. I plugged it into the computer to update it, and when I unplugged it from the computer, it restarted. I tried to activate it without itunes, but it tells me to connecting to itunes to activate it. When I plugged it in to itunes, it say's there is no sim card installed. I ejected the phone, took out the sim card, put it back in and plugged it back in. Nothing changed. How do I get it to work again?

phones which are sim unclocked by jailbrake will be sim relocked when one update the ios version

HT1414 after restoring i keep getting no sim card installed when activating.

after restoring i keep getting no sim card installed when activating.

Was the phone unlocked offically by the carrier before restoring? If it was unlocked by a hack it will be locked again after a restore or update.

There is no sim card installed

Hey guys im in australia
ok so my wife inherits my old iphones we are both on the same network/carrier telstra
she had my iphone 4 I had the 4s things were great then I got the 5 she got my 4s and we gave the 4 to my sister in-law (who is with a different carrier optus)
Sister in-law put in her optus sim card and couldn't get activate the 4 it kept saying please insert sim card
so we put back in my wife's telstra sim card (the one that worked with this phone before) and the same thing is happening
can't activate the iphone it keeps saying insert sim and on itunes it says there is no sim card installed
I went to the apple store they unlocked the phone
but alas still no joy with any sims
im now thinking it must be the sim reader or something with the actual phone
any help or tricks would be great
cheers

Try to remove the SIM card and put it back again. If still no luck, it might be defective and you'll need to contact your provider to get it replaced.

No sim card installed error on iPad 3G

Hello to the forum,
My iPad 3G cannot read the micro sim card installed issued by Vodafone Greece. This micro sim card works perfectly on an iPhone 4. So what i did was i restore to factory settings and install the sim card, it didn't work, I restore the hole ipad and set it up from itunes as a new ipad, it didnt work either so far at IOS 3.2.2. I restore and update to 4.2.1 set it up as a new ipad and I am still getting the no sim card installed message. I restored network settings i tried with wifi on wifi off location services on and off NOTHING works still no sim...
Can someone please advise? What is the issue? Can it be Fixed?

Chiming in from the US, it seems that a lot more of us are having this issue as well lately. My iPad has worked well under 3 OSs and I have never seen that NO SIM message until this week. I am running iOS 5 since it was released, but have not yet upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and all of a sudden, I see that NO SIM message pretty much all the time.
I have never removed my SIM or had any trouble with 3G before this week. It's not a big problem for me since I don't use it very often at all - not even on a data plan now - but it's annoying and not what I paid for. And if it happens to my wife, she'll be in trouble.
Apple folks, has there been any official acknoeldgement for this issue, and has it been properly elevated so it will be addressed? There are quite a few threads on this out there.

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.

Did you remove your account information from the other person's iPhone?

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.

how to solve this problem. I don't have any sim cards that came with iphone.
Please help out to solve this problem.
It sounds like the phone was hacked or jailbroken, and updating it locked it to the original carrier. As it is not possible to update to any version other than the current one (5.1) the fact that you updated to 4.1 pretty much confirms the phone was hacked. There is no solution that you can get in an Apple forum.
