My phone is saying my SIM card is not in it. It is and I have removed and reseated it and still shows problem? Next step?
My phone started up this AM with a message my SIM card is not being detected. I took it out and put it back and still have this message. The phone has gone into a cycle of rebooting looking for the card that is there.....so there is an issue. What next? Phone is only 7 months old. Do I go back to the SAMS Club where I got it and see if they can address it or do I go the VW store locally? Help?
Try pulling the battery for 30 seconds then reboot the phone. If that doesn't work go to the verizion store and see if a new sim card will work. Then there is always the factory reset, which the store might have you do if the new sim card doesn't work.

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. -
My phone blacked out, re-set it and now says my sim card is not installed! Help!
What do I do if my phone blacked out, then re-set it, but now says my sim card is not installed!
Honestly it sounds like you purchased a no-contract phone and not an unlocked phone.
Without the receipt it is impossible to say what was really purchased. Contact Apple to get a copy of the receipt. If you did infact purchase an unlocked iPhone, then they will resolve it.
What model iPhone do you actually have? Paying $700 for and iPhone 4 would have meant it was purchased approximately 2yrs ago. Also, there is no 35gb model.
If it is the iPhone 5, the unlocked version was not available at launch but rather released (online only) on November 30th. Later it was available in store. -
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. -
I cannot configure my phone after just updating to ios 5, it says 'your iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached' i also cannot connect to itunes on my computer,it says 'your sim card is not supported' what can i do?

Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
If that is the case, no support can be provided here. -
I tunes is saying my sim card is not supported what can i do to sort it out
i tunes is saying my sim card is not supported what can i do to sort it out
Where exactly did you get the phone? That message indicates that the phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use. Note that if the phone is locked to (for example) Orange in the UK, then you can NOT use it on Orange in France. They are not the same carrier, even though they have the same parent.
It's possible that the SIM you have is defective, but I would normally expect to see a different message if that were the case. -
It says my sim card is not supported but I don't think my Iphone4 is locked
It says my sim card is not supported when I put my tpg microsim in my iphone4, but I'm assured my iphone was not locked by the person I bought it from, who said they bought it from apple, and apple doesn't lock thier iphones
Casper,
Sounds like you got tricked by the person who assured you iPhone was bought from Apple.
Anyway, Hutchison Telecom owns the mobile carrier 3 and not Vodafone. If hutchison told you that only Apple can unlock your phone well that is incorrect, because my sister is with 3 and she had her iPhone unlocked by providing them the IMEI number, after a week or so she got an sms from them saying unlock is sucessful all she had to do was remove the 3 simcard and insert a different simcard and connect to itunes sync. If unlock is successful you should notice your new mobile carrier in iTunes summary, eject iphone power off and restart your iPhone.
I'm with O2 had mine unlocked just by filling in the unlock form provided by O2's website, 3 days later received text message that I can connect to iTunes and unlock, simple as that. Although I still have 14 months remaining on contract O2 provides this iPhone unlock service for free, but only Pay as Go customers need to pay £15.
Vodafone and 3 are quite doggy to customers and customer services is quite bad, every one has a different answer to unlocking iPhone either they say only Apple can unlock or you have to pay to get it unlocked. In your case try and find out which mobile carrier you are locked to, it can't be both Vodafone and 3. If it's Vodafone then you need to fill out a form on their site, takes about two weeks to get a reply and costs $25 / £15, (friend unlocked on Vodafone Pay as go).
I hope the information provided is helpful to you, do it the legitimate way and not jailbreak it. -

Send it back to him and have him unlock the phone for you so you can use it with your carrier.

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!

i buy anew i phone 5 from ksa from karfor market to use in egypt
when i insert the sim inside i the i phon dosnt work and say the the sim card inserted in this i phone is not supported
so i try the sim in another i phone it work
what can i do for this proplemThe iphone where the sim didn't work is probably locked to a carrier. You need to contact the carrier of that phone. If it's unlocked, then I'm not sure what the problem is, given that the sim works in another phone.

My iPhone 5 says my SIM card is not present
My iPhone 5 says SIM card missing. This happens several times a day and the phone will not work.
Power the iPhone off first and try removing and reinserting the SIM card.
If no change after that, contact your carrier to request a new SIM card.
If no change after that, call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
