My iPhone 4 does not recognise the SIM card ater upgrading for IOS 5.1.1. What can I do?

I upgraded mg iPhone 4 to IOS 5.1.1 yesterday. Since then it stoped recognizing the SIM card.
Does anyone have this problem?

HiACristina
I have the same problem that you had. It worked for about 16 hours afetr the update but stopped. Are you with O2 by any chance? Did you have to get a replacement SIM?

How can I get my iPhone 3GS to recognize my AT&T SIM card after upgrade to iOS 5.1?

I upgraded my previously-unlocked iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 today, from iOS 4. I hadn't upgraded the OS in awhile (since the phone was unlocked before a trip overseas).
iTunes says: "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone." I tried taking out and reinserting the SIM card, but that didn't help. It seems that I cannot restore to factory settings now, since iTunes doesn't think my phone has a SIM card and so won't connect to my phone at all.
I realize now that I should have restored to factory settings before upgrading, but given that I did not, how can I fix this retroactively?
Help?!
Thanks!

I did.
I've connected to the M-Cell for a few minutes once. It dropped the one call I tried to make, and my phone hasn't reconnectted since. My roommate has the same phone. We have the same thing happening.

HT201269 Do you have to remove the sim card after erasing the iphone

Before sending to Gazell do I need to remove the sim card from the iphone 4s

Thanks ~ in todays environment the last thing I want is people getting my personal information.

I updated my 4s to ios7, and had to restore it (stupidly forgot my passcode and disabled it), and now it wont activate, for 2 days... I can't activate it through iTunes because the sim card is locked. What do I do?

I need help reactivating my 4s!
I updated the software to ios7, couldn't remember my passcode (never used it before, and ios7 turned it on) and ended up disabling my phone. Erased it remotely via Find my iPhone, and now that I'm trying to restore it, it wont activate. It's been this way for 2 days now. I get the "activation server is unavailable" error. I realize Apple is struggling with their servers during this software update and launch of the new iPhone 5, but really, 2 days now??
I am currently living abroad, and am using a sim card that must be unlocked. So when I plug it into iTunes, it will not activate because the sim card is locked.
Help!! Is there anything I can do?

Try disconnecting your iPhone temporarily and then reconnecting it after a while.

IPhone 3GS can not detect SIM Card after upgraded to iOS 6.0.1

Guys I really need your advice please...
I upgraded my iPhone 3GS 32GB from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 a couple weeks ago and since then it can not detect the my SIM Card ever. Before it's been upgraded, the phone was working just fine, but now it's just like a gameboy to me. I've been trying to find solution and some stores want me too pay quite amount of money to fix it but I refused.
By the way, it has been jailbroken with RedSnow, tethered of course... and all the features are working perfectly, the WiFi is working, syncing is working, Bluetooth is working, downloading apps from App Store is okay, but only Mail and Safari won't work. I haven't got a chance to go to Apple Service Center to fix it yet, but the store I went said that Apple may say the same.
Thanks in advance.
ps to Admin: I'm a newbie, so if I posted this in the wrong room please forgive me.

Thanks Chris for your solution.
But just for you know that I bought Apple to get the 'after service', they should've warn the users not to upgrade to a higher OS if it can caused the phone 'dead'. Mine was totally unusable when it's just been upgraded. It stayed in the recovery mode and couldn't be restored. So I brought it to the nearest store and they did that to me, and eventually the phone is working, only it cannot detect my SIM Card...
The problem is not about upgrading an iPhone to a newer version of iOS. Your problem was upgrading a hacked phone, one of the well known consequences of which is re-locking and/or bricking the entire device when restoring in iTunes. You chose to hack your phones firmware and operating system, so you must accept the consequences of going outside the bounds of normal use that Apple prescribes and supports.
Had you not hacked it in the first place, you likely would have never had a problem, and if you had, Apple would have offered support to deal with it. Your choice, your decision, your consequences.

IPhone not recognising the SIM card after changing country

bought 2 iPhone 5 from Australia and unlocked to any network. Recently came to Bangladesh for a holiday and one of them is recognising the sim and other is not. Any suggestion?

What message does the second phone have on its screen?
Did you buy them at the same time from the Apple store?

N9 Can Not Detect the Sim Card

Hi Guys,
I have N9 which was dead due to some reasons, I just gave to Nokia Care and they have reinstalled the software and returned to me.
I insereted my microsim and it didn't detected, they Nokia people used their sim card and that worked. I just bought another new sim card and put it in, it worked let's say 2 hours but now again showing the icon of "No Sim Card". I tried restarting, removing sim and inserting again etc...but till now no Luck.
I am extremely angry as I paid a huge some for this device and it didn't work for me. I just bought it 2 weeks back.
Any Idea what could be the problem, I am going to sue the mfs if they are not going to give me a new device or money back.
Thanks.

If it stops recognizing the sim card after a while it could be due to wear and tear, but since it's new and you have tried a new sim card I would say it's obvious that there is a hardware fault with the device. Could be the contacts reading the sim card.
Get it replaced or take it back for repair. They should be helpful fixing this.
Hope you get it sorted and you become a happy camper as I am - so far

evan tried jailbreak as a last option because i was getting fed up waiting for the imei unlock
Well, doing that "could" be your problem, as it will error out & prevent the official unlock from being processed.
At any rate, good luck.

I got problem with my network after I switch the SIM card.

I've go back to china in my summer holiday and of cause switched to a chinese SIM card. But im not able to use any software to get on the internet with it although it does show 3g on the top left coner. everthing else are working fine, i can dail, pick up phone calls, send or recieve messages, and one of online chating software which is a bit like MSN is still functioning. I've asked local shops and customer service, and tried everything they suggest like reset network, reset the whole phone and i even recovered it to its initial status, but the network still the same. The SIM card works fine and it is able to connect the internet on my friends cell phone, and i used it last summer holidy without any problem at all.
I'm guessing there might be some setup problem after i upgraded the system, I really hope someone can help me with this problem.

Hi,
What version of the OS did you upgrade from ?
Anything before OS X 10.8.2 may have an issue if the Logic/Mother board has been replaced and the Serial Number not "flashed" back to it.
In the Apple Icon menu use the About this Mac item.
In the new panel click twice on the line that tells you the current OS level
It will change to the Build number (and alternative count to the OS versions) and then the Serial Number.
If it is missing you need to get it replaced.
(It is supposed to be done on Repair or Refurbishment).
An Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider as the best choices.
There are apps you can download (They are Mac Model specific) but needs careful typing as it is a once only trip.

Yes, the message is self-explanatory. You need a carrier who supports Apple's activation policy for an iPhone.

IPad2 3G does not recgonize SIM card after ios5 upgrade.

Recenlty upgraded to ios5 on my iPad2 Wifi + 3G. Was working perfectly until the ios5 upgrade. After the upgrade, it no longer recognizes the sim card.
Tried all the following things, but no success -
1. Rebooted the ipad2
2. Replaced with new SIM
3. Did a system restore of the iPad
Contine to get the following message on start up :
No SIM card installed!
Also, top left hand corner shows No SIM instead of 3G.
When I go to the Settings page, Cellular Data section is disabled.
By the way, tried the same SIM card on another iPad which had not upgraded to ios5 and the SIM card worked fine.
Pls help. Really frustrated right now with this ios5 upgrade.
Chetanovsky

Finally found the solution. New iPad!. The apple authorised service Center replaced my iPad with a new one. Not many questions asked! New one is preloaded with iOS5 and recognizes my SIM card.
Recommend people to do the same (i.e. get a replacement) if you have the same problem as mine. Do remember to backup your stuff before sending in your iPad to the service Center.

I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where
