My sim card is not showing in my Iphone why
My iphone is not using my sim
I too am having similar issues and am very frustrated with this...it interferes with serious work I do with homeless teenagers to have a call dropped with a message that sim is undectectable and not be able to connect back with them. I'm going to address this to the media and see if they can shed some light if Apple chooses not to fix this problem.

while updating 4.0 version to 5 version system shows sim card is not valid. My iphone is not working .Please help me
I would imagine your iPhone was hacked to make it work on your local carrier.
Updating the iOs to 5.xx will lock it back to the original carrier .The carrier holding the lock are the only
entity able to authorise the unlock .You will have to contact them and see if they unlock and the terms the apply -

If the iPhone was unlocked unofficially, it has been locked to original carrier again.

When I put my sim card in it comes up with no service. But I put it into a friends one and it started to work and recieve text. I'm not sure why it's doing this and what to do to solve it. Does anyone know?
Most likely you phone is locked to another carrier. Also, see this:

My sim card is not recognized by my iphone, whenever I insert it it says NO SIM?
I got the iphone as a gift from my uncle who lives in America. It could be that it needs to be unlocked. I live in Yemen.
Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
Contact them to find out their requirements for unlocking. -

When i put in it the sim card and then turn the iphone the home page of iphone does not come and message come told me invalid sim or iphone is lock but my sim card is not invalid and my iphone is work with all network in sweden
That usually means your phone is locked to a different phone carrier than the one you're trying to use.
YOu would need to conact the carrier the phone is locked to and see if they can unlock it for you. ONly the carrier that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it. -

i connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone. what should i do.?
First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier. -
every time I swap between my SIM cards with the iPhone all the messages that we're sent whenever the SIM card was not in my phone never show! is there anyway I can stop this and still get the massages?
Hello SeamusFitz,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
In order to get your messages to show up on your other phone, you would need to have a backup of the phone with the messages, and then restore the new phone from that backup.
According to article iTunes: About iOS backups found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 iTunes will backup your Messages.
iTunes will back up the following information
Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos).
This will help you backup and restore your device:

My phone will not turn off, has not done so for ages, Today I tried to upgrade which failed . Now my screen shows only the itunes symbol and a usb lead. When I connect to itunes it informs me the sim card is not supported though it works on other phones. HELP
Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message. -

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.
