Put in a sim card if there is not one there.
Remove and reseat the sim card.
Get a new sim card from your wireless provider.
Did you cut the sim to nanosim card size from a bigger sim?
Did you recently restore your iPhone or update your iOS version?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?

    My brand new phone says 'no sim card'. what do I do?

    Try removing the SIM and putting it back. Try resetting the phone by pressing and holding the power and Home buttons until the silver apple appears. Contact AT&T for a new SIM.

    Hi kpnit4rl,
    Please remove your battery and sim and reinsert it again. If the problem persists, maybe your phone is locked.

  • Why does my phone say no sim card?  How do i fix?

    I dropped my phone and now it says No Sim in the upper left.  I cannot use the phone.  how do i fix?    

    This happened to me recently. I had to turn the phone on and off twice. I also had to press on the top of the frame of the phone where the sim card is. My issue actually happened when the phone had not been dropped. Good luck.

  • Why would my phone say no SIM card?

    I just bought my phone yesterday and today it said it had no SIM card so i turned the phone off and it was there again. But that kinda worried me, why would it say that?
    Also Today the EDGE was off the E wasnt there. and i did the same procedure and it came back.
    Just wondering if these things mean anything, since im new.
    Thanks

  • 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

  • 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.

    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.

    It has NEVER been possible to purchase an unlocked iPhone 3G in the US. Your phone was hacked. Updating it has re-locked it to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.
    The phone is now useless to you. There is no legitimate way to fix this. Buy a new phone. Preferably in India.
