Sim Card Tray not going in fully; results in 'No Sim Card Installed'.

What shall I do? Would buying a new one help or is there something wrong with my phone? :'(

I would take a trip to an Apple store as there is no point trying to force it and if there is any real problem they can sort it there and then.

  • I keep getting the message :No SIM card installed   Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate iPhone - there is a sim in the tray in the phone...how do I fix this?

    I have recently upgraded from the iPhone 3g to an iPhone 4, and I was going to give my 3g to a friend, but it comes up with the message as above, whenever the phone is turned on...
    There is a sim card installed...
    My carrier (virgin) say that they have unlocked the phone from optus.
    How do I fix this?
    thanks
    Anushka

    Virgin use the Optus network here in Australia - which is why, the 3G phones showed you connected to the Optus network, and not to the Virgin network...They don't have their own network, they piggyback on Optus - which is why it would show that it is locked to Optus!
    They also said they would unlock my iPhone 4 - which has been done!  So there's obviously something wrong with the phone...

  • How can I delete the billing info on my phone? My card is expired and I'm not going to use another one

    Tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should give you a payments link on your account's page.

    Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier.  Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier.  You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

  • Why is i tunes gift card not going to email address I sent it to ?

    I tunes gift card not going to email address I sent it to. Why ?

    Sorry, I must have missed your last response, but can you calrify what feature do you want to use in FormsCentral? There are email receipts and email notifications. If you want the user to receive a copy of the date he entered in the form, then the user needs to enter an email address in the form and submit the form, but if you want the user to receive all responses he and others submit to a form, then it's email notification. It sounds like email receipts in your case. For email receipts to work, you need to have an email field in your form and set up Email Receipts in the options tab, by selecting the email field in the "To:" field.

  • IPhone 4S displays 'No Service' or 'No SIM Card Installed' version 9A406 does not fix it

    APPLE´S SOLUTION LISTED DOES NOT WORK.
    THE STATE THAT AFTER RESTORING PHONE IN UPDATED ITUNES, PHONE WILL GET A NEW VERSION THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NO SERVICE AND NO SIM CARD INSTALLED.
    BUT AFTER DOING IT 5 TIMES, CHANGING SIM CARD 2 TIMES AND STILL SAME ISSUE.
    HOPE TO HEAR SOON FROM APPLE. A LOT OF SILENCE.
    AND STILL A LONG WAY TILL THE PROBABLE IOS UPDATE ON MARCH 9TH. AND ONLY HOPING IR WILL REALLY FIX IT.
    IF NOT, THIS IS A USELESS PHONE AND ONLY AN ITOUCH.
    MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM.
    HELP PLEASE.

    You are right. Sorry gdgmacguy. I did not mean to appear yelling. My bad.
    This is my correct message.
    Apple's solution listed does not work.
    Apple state that after restoring your iphone 4s with the new version, it will fix the problem.
    But after reading many other posts like mine, and trying it myself 5 times, the problem does persist.
    Hope to see a real solution from Apple soon. Hopefully in ios 5.1
    Cheers.

  • "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" I do not wish to use as iPhone anymore, just an iPod is there a way to use again without inserting a sim card?

    "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" I do not wish to use as iPhone anymore, just an iPod is there a way to use again without inserting a sim card? There is a hardware fault but this is confined to the internal sim card receivers and purely the parts related to the sim card there are no other hardware faults! I've tried dfu mode and a restore and cant find anything related to this anywhere on the internet, thanks for any help in advance, Bobby

    iPhones require a SIM card, that card does not need to be active.

  • Hello... How can I un-activate Lightroom 5?  It also shows up on my Adobe Account and I'd like to have it removed from there.  I am not going to be using the program and I want to give it to someone fully intact.  Thanks... David

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • My iphone 5 had msg "no sim card installed" yesterday and today I can not charge my phone.

    Yesterday at work I received a message on my iPhone 5 "no Sim card installed".  I did a hard reboot and went outside for verizon signal.  After a couple of minutes the phone was back to normal.  Last night I plugged phone in to be charged it started to charge--around 8pm.  Went back to phone at midnoght to unplug and phone was down to nothing.  The the lighting plug icon and battery meter was showing and meter is in very low red area.  I tried different plugs from my other apple devices and still no luck.  Are the two problems related or two separate issues? How can I fix the problem?

    Hello ejsheb
    Charging your iPhone and having cellular service sounds to me like two separate issues.  Check out the article below in the sections of Power/Battery and General phone and connectivity issues for troubleshooting issues with charging and getting an alert that No SIM installed or No Service.

  • There is no SIM card installed after IOS update on 3GS

    Hey!
    I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5. All went well, then at the end, it asks me a few set ups (like language, Location, and WiFi settings).
    After that, it attempts to activate, and fails, giving me the following error in iTunes: "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate."
    Problem is, there IS a SIM card in the phone, I tried taking it out, and putting it back in, tried with another SIM, tried the SIM in another phone, worked fine, just not the iPhone!
    I would appreciate any help!
    Also, the phone was Jailbroken before, and the SIM worked fine. Just not now, when it tries to activate.
    IS IT POSSIBLE TO GO BACK TO THE BEST PREVIOUS UPDATE OF IOS4. THAT"S ALL I EXPECT NOW!

    @wendy191,
    Have you jailbroken your phone before?
    If you have, I don't see any way you could go back to IOS4 (4.3.3 or 4.3.5) (However, experts might be able to help you)
    When you jailbreak you iPhone you update your baseband to iPad's Baseband i.e. 6.50 (something like that) & once that happens there's no going back (at least a legitimate way) unless you do what this guy says.

    Watch this video on youtube. Listen to what he says & you can surely get through the activation.

  • Hi, my new Iphone 6 started to show an alert that reads: "No SIM card installed" any ideas on how to fix this, now I can't use my phone and is only 1 week old... HELP SOS

    I have a new IPhone 6 just went to the store last Saturday to connect it, (I am replacing my IPhone 5s) it says that I am updated on IOS 8.0.2 but now started to show a message that reads like this: " No SIM card installed" and I have no phone line or anything, my carrier is Sprint and I just got back from there and they told me that this is something I have to deal with APPLE because they have nothing to do with software. Anybody experiencing the same thing? any light in the tunnel? HELP....

    Hello henry lfrommiami,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone gives you the message "No SIM Card installed" please follow the steps below.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    Turn airplane mode on and then off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Check for a carrier settings update. Go to Settings > General > About. Install any available update.
    Remove the SIM card and make sure that it's a valid SIM that your carrier provided. Also make sure that it's not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
    A SIM tray that comes with one iPhone model won't necessarily work with a different iPhone model. When you insert the correct SIM tray, the SIM tray should be flush with the device.
    If you have another SIM card, insert it. You can use a SIM card from any phone with the same format as your iPhone SIM card. If your iPhone works with that SIM card, contact the carrier that issued your original SIM card.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you still see the issue, contact Apple support.
    If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone
    Cheers,
    Alex H.
