Sim Card Error/No Sim Card Installed on Iphone5

I've had my Iphone for just over 3 days and All of a sudden the last 2 day I've had the "No Sim Card Installed" Error message pop up 3 times in two days. I restarted the phone but It keep on coming back sporatically and without reason. Taking it Back to Verizon tomorrow. Could Apple be pumping these out way too fast?? This is my First Iphone. Hope this is not a warning to switch back to Droid!!

Try taking the sim card out of the phone and then re-inserting it and re-booting the phone and this sometimes does the trick.

Contact VZW for support. They will either need to register your SIM, send you a new SIM or send you a new Jetpack accordingly. Nothing you can do about that one other than reseat the SIM and try again.

Error message 'memory card error' with SD card on C5180

Photosmart C5180 displays 'memory card error' when SanDisk SDHC inserted. (The card is not damaged, it's new & works in camera.) I've been unsuccessful in finding answers on HP site. Any help most appreciated. Thanks much.
This question was solved.

Looking at the product specification, I see "High Capacity" (SDHC) memory is NOT supported on the device:

I also verified this with our group in San Diego - SDHC isn't supported.

No CF card error - card is fine on PC though

Hi all, I have a EOS 300D (yes I know it's old, but it's good) Since I last took the card out to transfer everything to my PC, I'm getting "No CF card" error when the card's in. At first I thought it must be the card, but I've since put it on a card reader, and it seems absolutely fine. I've reset all the camera settings, and tried to format the card, but it won't read it at all. Any ideas or help please?

Thanks John, I've since seen this problem reported on here for different models. How annnoying, looks like it's off for repair then. Just when I really needed it too

Hi mzoricak,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
I can feel your frustration concerning this issue. Let me see if we can help. Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot this issue:
Remove the memory card from the camera.
Make sure the metal contacts on the memory card are clean.
Turn off the camera.
Remove the battery from the camera for 30 seconds.
Reinsert the battery.
Turn on the camera.
Reinsert the memory card into the card slot on the camera.
If the memory card is still not recognized, try using a different memory card.
Try inserting the card into another device to test if the card is working properly.
Also check the camera terminals for debris or bent pins that may be causing the issue. Check the cards if the lock protection is on.
If the issue is still unresolved, service may be needed for your camera.
If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accept as Solution". Thanks_Mitch

sir have this error so what can i do The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

It looks like the iPhone is locked to a carrier that is not the one you are trying to use.
You need to determine which carrier it is locked to and then contact them to see if they are willing to authorise the unlocking of your iPhone. As ManSinha mentioned, many carriers will only authorised the unlock if requested by the customer who had the contract with them for this iPhone.
Remember that only the carrier who owns the lock on your Iphone can authorise Apple to unlock the iPhone in their servers. You need to contact the carrier or have the previous owner of the iPhone request the unlocking.

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?

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.

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.

To double-check, we have Nokia Care Centre.

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!

I need help, I use my phone for everything enclusive to work. I appreciate if you can help. I'm from Brazil. My name and giullia.

Did you purchase this device from Apple or an authorized reseller? It sounds as if you had a device that was jailbroken/hacked to operate on your carrier. Upon updating the iOS, it is now locked back to the original carrier the device was locked to.
Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. You will need to make contact with that carrier and see if they provide unlocking services, and if they do, if you qualify for an unlock. Otherwise, you are out of luck. One that carrier can take care of the unlocking.

I just got an apple at&t iphone 4 and I have it unlocked. But I want to connect it to t-mobile, so I trimmed my sim card and once the phone was unlocked I inserted the sim and it says no sim, activation error. What can I do to fix this? What is wrong?

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:

-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.

Or if you've recently got the phone unlocked then you'll need to connect it to itunes and then do a fresh restore to unlock it ,although for most users simply connecting to itunes for few seconds did the trick.

what can in do?

Well unfortunatly that advice does not always work. I bought a unlocked iphone4 from apple several years ago and went to att on a no contract basis. Six months later the phone crashed while updating the operating system. Apple replaced the phone with a new one. All is fine till I got a iphone5 and gave te phone to my cousin. The phone is now locked to att but att says the IMEI number is not a valid ATT IMEI and therfore cant unlock it. Apple says there is nothing They can or are willing to do so now I am stuck for a 600.00 phone that can't be used.
If anyoun knows a way naround this situation mI would appreciate a heads up.

It sounds as though your phone had been hacked to remove the network lock.
When you restored the phone it relocked itself to the original network and it will now only work if a sim from the original network is used.

My phone has no service because it keeps saying there is a SIM card error - How do I fix this problem?.

Mutt phone keeps saying no service because of a SIM card error? What does that mean and how do I fix it? It has done it twice I today's now and it very frustrating as I cannot make any calls.

Try reseating the SIM card or replacing it.
