My phone is displaying "no sim card installed".
My iphone 4s is not recognizing the sim card as being installed. How do I fix this situation?
Spoke with Apple Care this morning and they had me go to my carrier to have my sim card swapped out. Apparently this is not all that uncommon.

My phone is saying No SIM card installed, when I clearly have my SIM inserted?
My phone is saying No SIM card installed, when I clearly have my SIM inserted. I can't make or receive calls. What can I do to fix this?
Did you already try to remove it and put it back again?
When changing the SIM card, power off the device prior to opening the SIM tray. After you have changed the SIM card for your iPhone you may need to reconnect it to iTunes.
iPhone keeps a record of previously inserted SIM cards, but if the carrier name of your SIM does not show up in the status bar after you changed the SIM you will need to reconnect iPhone to iTunes. If you do not connect iPhone to iTunes after changing or reinserting the SIM, iPhone may not work as expected.
If iPhone does not work with the SIM card after connecting to iTunes, you might need to restore your iPhone. Consult the iPhone User's Guide for more information on iTunes and iPhone.
If your iPhone does not show up in iTunes (on the left hand side of the iTunes window under Devices), please see the following links for assistance:
iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Windows

If this does not work, contact your provider, maybe your SIM is damaged. -
i have been using a jailbreak iphone 3gs. recently i have officially unlocked. i have updated the os. but i am unable to activate my phone. it says no sim card installed. cud u help?
Jailbroken phones can not be discussed here.
It's highly likely that it is now bricked. The jailbreak most likely did permanent damage. There are lots of reports of previously jailbroken/hacked phones that become unusable when attempting to apply a legitimate unlock. -
HT4994 my new i phone suddenly says no sim card installed. Any ideas about whats going on
Help any ideas my I phone says no sim card installed
The SIM card might not be resting properly in the tray which causes the issue. Remove pop out the SIM card, turn off the phone, make sure it's resting properly and firmly into the tray, pop it back in, and turn on your phone!
This should solve your question -

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...

my iphone is displaying "there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate" wn i connect it to itunes,bcoz i hv installed ios5.0.1 for my iphone 3g.can you tel me how to solve dis problem?
I’m having the same issue.
My phone indeed has no SIM card. I kept the 3GS after upgrading to an iPhone 4 and I was simply using it as an iPod Touch.
As far as I had been told, I was perfectly OK to do that and it had been going fro update to update without any issue up to now.
The problem is that iOS 5 requires a new activation, and that this model cannot be activated with a valid SIM. Obivously, I’m not going to take a new line with AT&T ad pay $xxx every month just to be able to activate my previous phone.
I contacted AT&T but they had no clue how to get out of the problem and said it was in Apple’s hands anyway.
I tried restoring 4.3.5 on the phone, but so far I haven’t been successful :-\
I’m open to any suggestion

TS4148 iPhone 4S displays 'No Service' or 'No SIM Card Installed' with iOS 5.1.1 (9B206).
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 -
please help me < when update my i phone 3G < i finish update but face problem , appear me msg There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone You ar attempting to activate. Please disconnect
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.

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. -
I have tried to update my 3GS phone and now it longer works as it comes up with message there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help please as I am no where near technical support as I am working as volunteer in remote Asian country
Hi Allan,
Thanks for asking, I knew I had forgotten to mention something. The phone was indeed unofficially unlocked, since there were no apple stores or even premium resellers in the region I lived in during the given procedure had to be done.
I understand this could be a further complication, especially the fact the home button does not work. However, I was wondering if there would be a possibility to use a third-party application instead of iTunes to restore the iPhone? IF someone does know of such an application, I could easily solve further problems myself. Basically, the main issue here is my lack of ability to enter DFU mode. -
I have recently upgraded from the iPhone 3g to an iPhone 4, and I was going to give my 3g to a friend, but it comes up with the message as above, whenever the phone is turned on...
There is a sim card installed...
My carrier (virgin) say that they have unlocked the phone from optus.
How do I fix this?
thanks
AnushkaVirgin use the Optus network here in Australia - which is why, the 3G phones showed you connected to the Optus network, and not to the Virgin network...They don't have their own network, they piggyback on Optus - which is why it would show that it is locked to Optus!
They also said they would unlock my iPhone 4 - which has been done! So there's obviously something wrong with the phone... -
I got my iPhone 4 unlocked from AT&T but whenever i try to connect my phone to iTunes for restoring, iTunes say me "there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate."
sorry. you cannot discuss and find solution about the jailbroken phones in this forum.

HT1976 I get no Sim Card installed message when trying to use my phone
My phone just stopped working - I get a "No Sim Card Installed" Message. I have not changed any settings.
So you have not changed anything or updated
try reseating the sim (assume it is a microsim not a hand cut )
and go through Apple troubleshooting
Restart ,reset ,restore
May be the sim has gone "bad"
