There is no sim card installed
Hey guys im in australia
ok so my wife inherits my old iphones we are both on the same network/carrier telstra
she had my iphone 4 I had the 4s things were great then I got the 5 she got my 4s and we gave the 4 to my sister in-law (who is with a different carrier optus)
Sister in-law put in her optus sim card and couldn't get activate the 4 it kept saying please insert sim card
so we put back in my wife's telstra sim card (the one that worked with this phone before) and the same thing is happening
can't activate the iphone it keeps saying insert sim and on itunes it says there is no sim card installed
I went to the apple store they unlocked the phone
but alas still no joy with any sims
im now thinking it must be the sim reader or something with the actual phone
any help or tricks would be great
cheers
Try to remove the SIM card and put it back again. If still no luck, it might be defective and you'll need to contact your provider to get it replaced.

please help me < when update my i phone 3G < i finish update but face problem , appear me msg There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone You ar attempting to activate. Please disconnect
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.

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. -
I have tried to update my 3GS phone and now it longer works as it comes up with message there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help please as I am no where near technical support as I am working as volunteer in remote Asian country
Hi Allan,
Thanks for asking, I knew I had forgotten to mention something. The phone was indeed unofficially unlocked, since there were no apple stores or even premium resellers in the region I lived in during the given procedure had to be done.
I understand this could be a further complication, especially the fact the home button does not work. However, I was wondering if there would be a possibility to use a third-party application instead of iTunes to restore the iPhone? IF someone does know of such an application, I could easily solve further problems myself. Basically, the main issue here is my lack of ability to enter DFU mode. -

It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked. -

The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...
If this is the case... you are out of luck... Because...

I just got a new iphone 4 because my old one did work, when i tried activating the new one it give me problems and wont let me do anything on the phone. When i plug it into itunes i get a message there is no sim card installed in this device. Is there anyway i can restore the phone or anything to get it working?
Then something is wrong with the new iPhone 4. Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store of there is one nearby.

I upgraded my 3gs to the iOS5 software, but it keeps telling me on my iphone and my itunes that it cannot activate my iphone! Then my iTunes said there is no SIM card installed. HELP! I can't seem to even restore, which is what I was told to do by the Apple Store.
Hi there,
if your phone has ever been replaced by Apple (within or outside of warranty), have Apple check their records to which carrier your iPhone (its IMEI number) is currently locked to.
If it is locked to any other than the carrier you have your SIM-card from, ask the folks at Apple to have your phone's lock adjusted to your carrier. Once that is done, there is a good chance that your phone will work again.
Hope this helps,

I have an iphone 3GS that I have inactivated as of today. I still wish to sync this phone with iTunes (did a restore as I transferred my data to a new iPhone). However, iTunes is giving me an error message that there is no SIM card installed in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. I've powered off the phone, held the power button & home button until iTunes popped up with restore note. Re-did the restore (twice) but still coming up with same error message.
Kind of what I figured.....will I be able to sync to iTunes in future as many times as I want without the SIM card (once it's activated again)?

ITunes say's there is no sim card installed
I've had the iphone 3 for a while. I plugged it into the computer to update it, and when I unplugged it from the computer, it restarted. I tried to activate it without itunes, but it tells me to connecting to itunes to activate it. When I plugged it in to itunes, it say's there is no sim card installed. I ejected the phone, took out the sim card, put it back in and plugged it back in. Nothing changed. How do I get it to work again?
phones which are sim unclocked by jailbrake will be sim relocked when one update the ios version

How do I stop my ipad telling me there's no sim card installed?
Hi,
I have an iPad mini. I don't keep a SIM card in it (although I could, it's not limited to wifi only) and, in fact, I paid extra to buy the ipad without a contract to a network. Since "upgrading" to the latest ios, my ipad tells me there's "no SIM card installed" every few moments. It's happened 5 times so far, typing this and it's making me want to punch my ipad in the face. Is there any way to turn this off?
Thanks.Yeah, same problem here, same sentiment! it sure feels like harassment. no solution works (even the absurd ones). makes me regret the update :s

Never-hacked 4 gets "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone" after update to 7.0.2
I was using iOS 7.0.1 an hour ago. Upon update to 7.0.2 I get "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate."
I know I haven't a SIM. I threw it away. I moved on. New carrier - HTC phone. I've been using my iPone 4 as an iPod without the SIM for over half a year. Before that I did the same with my iPhone 3 for much longer.
What hoops do I have to jump through now to recover my iPhone 4?
The phone has never been jailbroken or altered.
ATT was my original sevrice provider while I bought my device from Apple.All iPhones require activation after a restoration and an iOS upgrade. There really was no reason to throw your deactivated SIM from AT&T away. You'll need an AT&T sim to activate that phone. It doesn't need to be active, however. Borrow one from someone to get your phone activated

Failed restore on iPhone 3GS because iTunes says there is no SIM card installed.
I have an unlocked iPhone3GS that I used in Thailand for 2 years with a Thai SIM card. Now I am back in the USA and I got a AT&T SIM card without a contract. I wanted to update to the newer version of iOS so I contacted AT&T and had them do an authorized iPhone unlock. I backed up my iPhone and then restored it in iTunes. After restarting the phone iTunes told me there was no SIM card installed in the device. I've taken the AT&T SIM card out and put it back in but nothing changes.
Any help or suggestions?The iPhone was jailbroken before I went to Thailand. I never had a contract in Thailand ethier. The phone was working fine on my new AT&T SIM card for 2 weeks until I went to restore and update the iOS.
I also tried to use WIFI to activate the device instead of iTunes. After a few minutes of trying that a mesage tells me that Apple can't activate it and to try use iTunes or contact Apple support.
