Sim card not valid after update to ios 5

just updated to iOs 5 on an AT&T iphone 4....says sim card not valid

Just to make sure it wasn't a PC/Mac issue I have tried the following on each of 2 different windows PC's and a Mac & a MacBook Pro:
New installation/download of the Software update for iPhone 4, and each time putting the phone into recovery mode. I have also been using a new micro sim from O2 - obtained first thing this morning.
You do the maths on how much time this has taken, and guess what it still doesn't work....!
This has to be the most direct way of getting someone to upgrade to a new phone - the day before a new iPhone comes out - coincidence.......hmmm.
Just as a point of interest the iPhone was replaced in May this year, so is relatively new.
I do find it had to believe that there is no word from Apple as to the reason &/or a resolution.
COME ON

  • SIM card not valid after update

    I updated to the iOS5, then I hooked up my NON-jailbroken 3GS. After "updating" everything this message appears:
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    I took my phone to my carrier, AT&T, and they cleaned the SIM card, didnt work. They replaced the SIM card, it didn't work. Tried to restore my phone, didn't work.
    Any advice?

  • Help with Nokia E63 says SIM card not valid after ...

    Hi,
    I moved to France from UK and just unlocked my Nokia E63 with a code given to me by my UK provider Virgin. Phone is definately unlocked. My French provider (Lefrenchmobile) have given me a new sim. When I put in the SIM and turn on my phone I have to enter the SIM PIN, and do this and get an accepted message. Then phone says SIM card not valid, and won't do anything. What can I do? If I put my virgin SIM back in then it works fine.

    Have you double checked if your phone is compatible with the new operator's network? Just simply tell the model to their customer services, they should be able to determine the compatibility.

  • Sim not valid after update to IOS 8.1.1

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 5 and I have update it yesterday from iOS 6 to iOS 8.1.1 and after update I can`t activate it.
    My iPhone has been purchased from SFR France and has been sim locked by SFR.
    I have official unlock it last month and it worked well on Orange Romania until yesterday.
    On all servers it look like unlocked but I can`t activate it.
    iTunes say that sim card is not compatible.
    Now It have iOS 8.1.
    Please help me.

    I haven't contacted SFR directly, I have used a service like "apple official unlock. com/ apple-official-imei-iphone-unlock" to do that and I verified the simlock status on other site like this. I think that site contacted SFR for unlock.
    The iPhone has been unlocked after I connected it to iTunes and I think that is official unlocked.

    How was this iPhone unlocked?  Did a carrier unlock for you?
    If you did the unlocking by jailbreaking there is nothing anyone on here can do to help you.

  • My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network, restarting the iPad

    My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network , restarting iPad , ...

    The same story. No 3G after updating to 6.1.  Told my daughter temporarily not to do an update on her iPad with 6.01. We've exchanged SIMs. I inserted her SIM in my iPad - 3G appeared immediately. And my SIM in her iPad with ios 6.01 also WORKS FINE. We use the same provider - Megafon Moscow. After attempting to revert SIMs to original configuration, 3G disappeared on my iPad again. Don't know what's going on with SIM during the update to 6.1

  • My new iPad sound is not working after updating to ios 6.1

    My new iPad sound not working after updating to ios 6.1. Headphones are working fine. I tried all the troubleshoot. can anyone know the answer, plz share with me

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same issue as everyone above. I only get sound through the slider on the ringtone in settings and through my headphones. I do not get any sound anywhere else at all.
    I Have tried:
    - Updating to iOS 6.1.3
    -re starting the device
    -checking that the device is not muted. My slider switch is set to mute rather than lock and is unmuted.
    -going into general settings and reset all settings
    -the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
    -removing the last few apps I installed.
    Nothing at all has worked, please help!

  • Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.

  • 3G is not working after updating to iOS 6.1

    My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network, restarting the phone etc.
    With this kind of bugs in every update, Apple will no more be THE Apple.
    There are bugs which have not been fixed even in the subsequent updates. SMSs going blank being one of them.
    Miss you Sir Jobs.....

    I have since managed to sort mine out - when the phone was updated it wiped out the network settings. 
    I was able to reset them by manually putting the information in:
    Settings - General - Cellular - Cellular Data Network and then I put in the correct details for APN, username and Password in the relevant sections and now it works OK.
    Hopefully it will work for others too

  • Personal Hotspot for my iPhone 4 (32GB) is not available after updating to iOS 7.1, why is that so?

    Dear all, may I get a solution to solve the problem for my Personal Hotspot which is not functioning after updating to iOS 7.1?
    I am U Mobile user from Malaysia, before updating to iOS 7.1, everything seems to be fined.
    The problem only occurs after I have updated to iOS 7.1.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
    You can also try: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

  • My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7... My ipad works perfectly and it's the same apple id.  Any answers or reasons why on the iPhone 5 is not working???

    My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
    Any answers on how to fix it?  I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

  • Iphone 3gs "no sim card installed" issue after updating iOS

    I have an iPhone 3Gs. Last week I started updating the iOS of the phone then, I was brought to the page wherein I need to activate the phone. After going through some tabs to tap, the screen says " iphone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable, try to connect to iTunes. So I followed what is instructed. I connected the phone to iTunes but the message says, There is no sim card installed on your iphone. Before I updated the phone, the sim card was not inside the phone, so I inserted it back after the message "no sim card installed, try to disconnect and insert your sim card". But still nothing happened, the message keeps appearing. Also, I can see a "No service" message on the upper Ieft part of the phone. Is the sim card not inside the phone before updating the iOS the main reason why the phone cannot recognize the sim card? first time iphone user here, my aunt gave me this iphone. I really need help. Thank you so much

    Ask your aun if the phone was hacked/jailbroken. Those problems are symtomatic of a hacked phone.
