Original iPhone SIM card error!

Hello. I got an iPhone 2G, it was unlocked, once I updated it and well it got locked and said "Slide for emergency" I had to get it unlocked from a store. Now I have an AT&T SIM card (Before I did not) and updated it again thinking that there will be no errors this time because of the SIM card. So I updated it, iTunes said, "The SIM card on this iPhone does not appear to be supported." I had iOS 2.2 now kind of have iOS 3.1.3. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit and iTunes 10.5.2.11 (UK version (But I live in America)). My iPhone shows the AT&T sign by the way and shows time when I slide the bar but iTunes still shows the error. Please help!

Thank you for your answer. I did just that after I posted this thread, but AT&T was no help. But I was able to solve the problem thanks to jailbreaking and unlocking. Cheers!

  • No SIM card error

    I'm getting a no SIM card error. When I got a new SIM card it now says no service! My cell provider assures me it's not on their end, which makes sense as we have 2 more iPhones on the same account! Any ideas?

    I would try to verify the steps taken in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4148
    -If after you do all steps and issue still isnt resolved I would contact Apple Store or Apple Care (phone service) tell them all the steps you have done and look into replacement options.

  • No SIM card error - How to fix?

    I have started receiving No SIM card error messages and they are increasing with regularity.
    Suggested solutions that I have tried but still get the message.
    I had AT&T replace the SIM card.  Results:  Worked for 2 days.
    Revisited AT&T and they told me it was a bad port & needed to go to the Apple store.
    Researched Apple support and found quite a few people are getting this error message and Apple doesn't know why either.
    I am currently making an appointment but thought I'd see if anyone out there has had succes fixing this error.
    Read on a non-Apple support site that it could be a "new case" that is causing the problem and since I did get a new case, I removed it and still get the error.  Since it was only intermittent, I could restore the service by turning the Airplane mode "on & off".  This is working less & less.
    Has anyone had this error and successfully fixed it?

    The obvious solution... insert a SIM card or replace the existing damaged SIM card.

  • E65: Sim Card Error!

    I have problems with my E65 after upgrading to the latest firmware (v3.xxx)
    Every now and then it will prompt me with a message that shows "Sim card error" or "insert sim card".
    The sim card is always in the phone. It was never a problem before. Also, I have remove the sim card from the E65 and test it on another phone (HTC) and there were no such problem.
    That concludes the problem is on the E65. Pls kindly help.
    Thanks.

    I also had this problem on my E51, but have now managed to find the cause. It actually has nothing to do with the SIM card, so don't bother replacing it.
    If the phone is kept in one place and isn't moved, the message never appears, but then that defeats the purpose of having a mobile phone!
    The problem is caused by the connectors on the battery, which should form a tight grip around the the pin connectors of the phone. The battery that came with my phone never caused the problem, but when I inserted a replacement, every now and then when I put the phone in my pocket, the 'Insert Sim Card' notice would appear
    I then compared the two batteries and noticed the replacement's connectors were further apart than the original's. Carrying the phone in my pocket obviously caused some movement, which momentarily disconnected it from the battery and caused the phone to error.
    Since then, I have only used the original battery. However, I suspect the problem could be fixed by using a small instrument to bring the battery connectors closer together or by inserting a small piece of aluminium foil to ensure a constant connection.
    Not sure, but this may also work for N95/E65 users too.
    The E51 is a fantastic phone and the best one I have used to date.

  • DNA Sim Card Error

    I have had my DNA since mid February, and started having SIM card issues within a month. After the phone update came out to "eliminate" the SIM card error it went until almost July without one hiccup. However, a few weeks ago I started getting the error about every other day. Now I am having to remove and reinsert the SIM card multiple times a day. I have also learned to restart the phone to fix the issue when its inconvenient to remove the card (which is almost always). I have not done a factory reset because I have seen that it fixes nothing. I am still using the original SIM card because I have seen no results from others replacing the card. Verizon and HTC need to get this figured out ASAP. I will never buy another HTC product, and am strongly considering another company for my cell phone usage. The consumer should not have to deal with this issue, or pay for another phone. We should be compensated and offered out of the contract or an alternate device. What is going to happen if someone has a SIM card issue and cannot use their phone to call the police? Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen...

    It's not just HTC devices that have displayed this problem, there is a thread of people having this same issue with the Galaxy S3.  It seems as though the most consistent fix has been to put a small piece of scotch tape on the back of the SIM card before inserting it.  Sounds to me like there is just a little too much play in the SIM slot and the bit of extra pressure solves it.

  • Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

    Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

    Depends on the model of iPhone, and the actual cellular plan it has.
    If its an iPhone 5 with an unlimited Data Plan you may be able to do it.
    Any other model of iPhone or a plan without a data packcage will not work.

  • Can I use my iPhone SIM card in another phone?

    While I save up to get my iphone repaired, can I use my iPhone sim card in my Motorolla Rockr (my prior phone) or do I need to buy a new one? ATT said the sim in my Rockr is permanently disabled...
    I would just try it but I'm at work and don't have my iphone here. I want to pickup a sim card on my way home if I can't...

    You can use the sim card from the iPhone in any AT&T phone.

  • Lumia 1020 SIM card error after WP8.1 update

    I updated my wife's Lumia 1020 to WP8.1. Ever since there has been random SIM card errors. The phone just drops the network while it's idle (not during the phone calls) and gives an error message "SIM card error".
    Anybody who has experienced the similar thing after installing WP8.1 update???
    If there's someone from Nokia/Microsoft support team reading this: what should be done in order to get rid of this aforementioned thing?

    Sensonic wrote:
    Nope, it's not a hardware issue.
    The cause, yes. However, that firmware update might have – a guess – broken the hardware forever. Again, it could just be coincidence. I am not able to rule that out from the distance. You have two options: Wait for a firmware patch (which might do a lot of magic and repairs hardware) – or go for Nokia Care Centre.
    Sensonic wrote:
    Taking the phone to the Nokia Care Center and replacing the mother (main) board is not (IMO) a reasonable cure for this problem.
    The first step of bug fixing, is getting aware of the bug. Nokia Support Discussions are designed in such a crazy way, that this step might not have taken by this thread. I am just an end-user like you, but there are very different statements whether this board is monitored by internal support. 
    By the way, the next step is to reproduce this bug – for this, Nokia requires a faulty unit, normally. Therefore, I recommend to go for the Nokia Care Centre option – because waiting – until your warranty might be gone – might not be a good alternative.
    Or stated differently: Sit and wait might end in catastrophe in this case.
    Sensonic wrote:
    I suppose it's not a hardware issue.
    To double-check, we have Nokia Care Centre.

    Symptoms which sound similar, yes. Same Cause? I do not know.

  • What is stored, in addition to contacts, on the iPhone sim card?

    Other than Contacts, what is stored on the iphone sim card?

    The iPhone can store contacts to the SIM Card, but this is not supported by Apple, but the iPhone can actually write to the SIM Card. The iPhone can read contacts from the SIM Card, so if any contacts are present, it can read them perfectly.
    The SIM Card stores your personal phone number and has the User specific Carrier ICCID number among other possible proprietary information.

  • Torch sim card error

    Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem?? My sim card works perfectly in other cellphones. I have tried using it in my old BB, but also gives me the sim card error message. 

    Hi Lynn50 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    Was the BlackBerry® smartphone purchased from the same wireless provider as the SIM card?
    Thanks

  • Can I use my old ATT/iphone sim card in a new iphone?

    So, I want to get a new iPhone and put my first AT&T/iPhone sim card, the card that came in my first iPhone into.....will this work? normal activation thru iTunes? and tips, tricks, suggestions, etc.
    thanks in advance,
    Eric

    You have to activate the iPhone because you have to active your iPhone account. This isn't just another phone that you can switch SIM cards between and it work.
    I don't know what "back door" you're talking about but I hope that you would know by now the iPhone is not another regular cell phone. But it most certainly does work with any AT&T SIM.

  • Z10 Sim card error

    I am getting a Sim Card error these days on my device as Sim card is not getting initialised.
    I get an error as " The sim card is from an unknown source"
    The same sim works with other device.
    The phone was bought in end June 2014.
    Kindly help.

    Hello Ifagbemileke
    Welcome to http://supportforums.blackberry.com/
    Which version of software you have installed Z10?
    Possibly it fixes with a bar (radio)...
    I recommend you make a reload of the BlackBerry OS Link
    Connect your Z10 and run BBLink
    Then go to preference and press the reload option software
    Let the process do all your work, and then you start setting your BB
    And load your backup.
    And let us know if your problem evidences the persistence.
    You must have the latest version of the BlackBerry Link installed
    Good Luck!
