My iPhone 5 keeps saying sim failure and invalid sim I need help please!?!?!

I really need help I just got my iPhone 5 yesterday and its telling me "sim failure" and then "invalid sim" shows up on the top left corner. I had an android before so I didn't need a SIM card so I went to apple and they gave me one and them went to sprint to activate my iPhone to my number but it still shows those annoying messages!!!

this is my second nano sim and i made an appointment at apple and they swapped my iphone for a new one and still the same should i call customer service? its getting me so ****** cause i have to pop the sim slot everytime it tells me sim failure so it can go back to normal then in 5 mins it shows up again

  • IPhone 'SIM failure' and 'invalid SIM'

    My iPhone 4 with Bell mobility was working just fine. I put it down and when I came back an alert saying 'SIM failure' appears and then instead if my carrier in the corner, it says 'invalid SIM'. Should I take my phone to Bell to get my SIM replaced or go to apple? And is this a hardware problem?

    Try removing and re-inserting the SIM. If that doesn't fix it, get a replacement SIM from Bell.

  • After unlock my iPhone 4 iOs 6.0.1  is not accepting any sim , i tried using new sim  first it shoes no service then sim failure and invalid sim . what should i do do make it work

    after inlocking  my iPhone 4    iOs 6.0.1  it shows no service when i used a new sim .

    If it is showing invalid SIM error, then the unlocking is not complete. Depending on what carrier authorized the unlock, most require the phone to be restored before the unlock is complete. Once you restore, you should receive a message stating Congratulations, your phnoe is unlocked. Then you restore the  backup of the device from before the unlock restore.

  • I have up graded to a 4s and can't get passed the set up when connecting to IT tunes to activate- it keeps saying this 'Apple device hasn't been started '- help please

    I have just upgraded to a 4S and having trouble on set up. I get to the point that asks for connection to IT tunes and a message appears on my computer saying 'this apple devise hasn't been started' . I have checked that my SIM has been swapped with O2. Help please.

    It sounds like you might be on a Windows computer and the Apple Mobile Device Service isn't running. Check this support document with help for that error. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567

    If you didn't establish a rescue email address, you will need to call applecare support.  Ask for account security to reset your security questions.  After the advisor is able to verify your identity, they can reset your security questions.

  • My iPhone 3GS has went black and is completely unresponsive? Help please.

    Hi everyone
    Having a problem with my 3GS , got a black screen out of the blue yesterday. Home and powerbutton isn't letting me back in. Just dead. Any advice plz

    If a hard reset didnt cause the phone to start up it isnt looking good. You can check iTunes and iCloud to see if you have any backups. For the phone I would see about getting it serviced.

  • IPhone 4s and Sim failure and No service issue

    Ok,
    Few days back I asekd questions regarding few other issues with iPhone 4s. here is it, https://discussions.apple.com/message/17068754#17068754
    Few gentlemen told me, to replace sim card. Here is what I did,
    1) I am from India. I was using Vodafone 3g micro sim. Everyday, 4-5 times in the ideal mode I got messages like Sim failure and invalid sim. I have to restart my iPhone everytime. Then only it was working.
    2) I posted the question, people said its my card problem
    3) I bought new BSNL 3G micro sim card for iPhone. I inserted the card and got 3G working.
    4) After 3 hours, I saw No service message. I waited for some time, i went to outside to see if it was a network issue. Nothing changed.
    5) I rebooted my iPhone, it immediaetly picked the network.
    6) After few hours, again it lost and said no service.
    7) I then didn't rebooted it.
    8) In the morning,  I saw Sim Failure and invalid sim message. Useless
    9) I now rebooted and Sim is working with 3G network.
    Now please ,
    is this iPhone issue? It is for sure. I am tired now. Battery is dying and with this Sim Failure and No service, I am totally disappointed.

    Hi Ahelpyguy...
    I read all your messages above , I am facing the same problem as u faced.
    My Iphone 4S and it was working fine (5.0) until i upgrade to 5.0.1(9A406).
    Now I am facing alot of network issues.  I get messages liek NO Sim , SIM FAILURE. 
    I even restored the sowftware from ITUNES but i am still facing the same problem.
    I was using Vodafone first but I heard that due to problem in micro sim reader of Iphone 4s i shd use a 128 K or 64 K sim.. Since only Airtel provided 64K sim ...I installed that in my phone. But still i am facing the same issue.
    I would appreciate if you can tell me whats Tweaked version of 5.0.1.
    the current software installed on my phone is 5.0.1 (9A406).
    Thanks
    Prateek

  • My iPhone just said "SIM failure" and now says Invalid SIM in the upper corner. What's this all about?

    My iPhone just said "SIM failure" and now says Invalid SIM in the upper corner. What's this all about?  Any ideas on how to resolve this.

    Looks like the Sim card had a catastrophic failure. Burnout, short somethng like that.
    You can try to take out the tray and reseat the sim card inside and see if that gets it back.
    Also try resetting the phone at least once by holding down the home and power buttons until the Apple Logo shows up.
    If none of this works you'll have to contact your cell carrier to get a new sim card, as it probably fried and is no longer functional.

  • My iphone 4, sim failure and no service

    I just replaced new Iphone 4 last week in Apple store, Chadstone and after 3 days, it says sim failure and no service suddenly. I tried many times, switched off and on but still says no service. Do you have any ideas and solution please.

    Hello, I have been having the same problem which seems to have occurred out of the blue. I pay my phone bill on time and as far as I know I haven't used up all available space. Sprint service can be problematic but this time the Sprinters were not responsible. To be honest I can't tell you why this occurs. I can tell you how to fix it :) just reset your phone (first reset the settings and if that doesn't work, restore the phone to factory settings). If this does not clear your problem you should talk to your service provider. I just reset my phone's settings but 30 minutes ago, and BAM all's well again. :) lets hope it lasts ;) good luck.

  • My iphone keeps saying no sim when the sim is in it

    my iphone keeps saying no sim when the sim card is in

    There appear to be a number of posts about this topic.
    I have the same problem with my iPad 2. Worked fine for months, and now suddenly the iPad seems to 'loose' the SIM card and reports in the top-left corner it reads: 'No SIM'.
    Some findings from my side, while trying to address this:
    - when I switch to flight mode and then turn flight mode off again, the problems goes away, but comes back after a few minutes
    - same happens when I do a full power off.
    - I got a new SIM card from my provider. Same issue.
    - once you 'lost' the SIM card, it never comes back. (only after full power off - see above).
    - I contacted Apple Care today and they told me that this was not a known problem to them. Well, now it is :-)
    - Apple Care suggested to me to perform a full reset of the iPad. This is standard procedure and this was not a specific recommended action in relation to this problem. But suggest to perform this procedure anyway. In Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. With this you do not loose your data, but you will need to configure your network/password settings, game center password, etc.
    For now this appears to have fixed it....
    Good luck,
    Anton

    Dear sir
    I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
    Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
    And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
    Please tell me whats the matter?
    My phone serial no  86034HTCA4T
    Modem firmware  04.12.09
    Thanks

    Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
    the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
    contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
    used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
    iPhone unuseable.
