TS1368 my iphone is displaying "there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate" wn i connect it to itunes
my iphone is displaying "there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate" wn i connect it to itunes,bcoz i hv installed ios5.0.1 for my iphone 3g.can you tel me how to solve dis problem?
I’m having the same issue.
My phone indeed has no SIM card. I kept the 3GS after upgrading to an iPhone 4 and I was simply using it as an iPod Touch.
As far as I had been told, I was perfectly OK to do that and it had been going fro update to update without any issue up to now.
The problem is that iOS 5 requires a new activation, and that this model cannot be activated with a valid SIM. Obivously, I’m not going to take a new line with AT&T ad pay $xxx every month just to be able to activate my previous phone.
I contacted AT&T but they had no clue how to get out of the problem and said it was in Apple’s hands anyway.
I tried restoring 4.3.5 on the phone, but so far I haven’t been successful :-\
I’m open to any suggestion

You cannot active a phone if it does not have a SIM card in it. Period. End of discussion.
If you get this error and it has a SIM card in the phone then either the SIM card is defective or the phone is defective. Get a new SIM card and try again. If the problem occurs with the new SIM card the phone needs to be repaired. -

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...

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.

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

trying to active my old iPhone 3gs. it showing that activation server is temporary unavailable and on the iTunes showing that there is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. I unlocked my phone then i upgrade it, after that this happen. i tried with other sim same message come again and again.if any body know solution let me know. thanks
Was the SIM card activated on another phone? I assume this is an ATT style trying to use on T-Mobile? Was the SIM installed correctly? Is the carrier (like T-Mobile) operating IOS 6 devices yet?
If the SIM is a valid SIM from say T-Mobile, you may want to contact them for assistance activating the SIM card.
Activation and SIM issues typically point to the carrier. And if this was a CDMA phone say working with verizon, it will NOT work for ATT or T-Mobile as they use different electronics on the 3GS. The SIM slot is for international use only. -

There is no sim card installed in the iphone
- that is the message i get - checked sim card (it is good) - phone was bought off kijiji - is there a way to find out what carrier it is with if not the one i was told it was - or could it be some other issue - the sim card is making contact to sim card as there are marks developing on it as i insert and re-insert
Thanks diesel
I have been in contact with the girl i bought it from - a good sign i think. Anyway she is going into the mac store where she got it originally so hopefully something comes of that. I went into Rogers and they had SIM cards from every carrier (same error message) . I just find it strange that the phone doesn't give me any error messages alone except no service and itunes keeps saying the same thing
"there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are trying to activate"

There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attemting to activate
just now i was installed ios 5.0.1 but i canot activate my phone it is showing "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attemting to activate"
i had a problem just like this and i found out it was the sim, cos its hard not to put your finger on it when putting it in the phone. the way i did it was to put it in the holder on the iphone and then clean it while on there and then put it in after a bit O2 gave me a replacement sim and worked well.
If this doesn't work well then i would say go to your apple store http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/geniusbar/
they should be able to run tests on the phone and give you a new one right in the store. if its anything to do with the phone the guys in there will make sure you leave with a working phone, if its down to the sim then they will say go back to O2 and O2 will have to fix the problem cos to apple they would of given you a new iphone.
Note if they give you a new iphone then you have to make sure you give your insurance details of your new phone to them. -

I upgraded my i phone 3gs from 4.1 to 6.1.6 then the above problem arisedI too am having this problem. All I want to do is use my iCloud backup of my phone to fix a bug in IOS 7 that loop-prompts me to connect to iTunes. Anyone that has an answer to to OP would be greatly appreciated. There have been almost 3000 views on this page and only 8 posts that aren't much help at all so far. Enough with this 'Do you know how to read' white-space. I'm here for answers!!!
However, I suppose I already have the answer. This is simply another example of Apple using their software to limit consumers of certain demographics (namely, people who have the phone but don't pay for service from a carrier). A SIM card is only required for activation because the software administrator says so; and for no other reason. The hardware is there and its perfectly functional otherwise. I shouldn't even need to activate in the first place. Just restore my freaking phone!!
