TS4148 "No Sim" message on iPhone 4

My iPhone 4S displays "No Sim" AND I have the most up-to-date software - iOS 5.1.1. Phone was working find 10 minutes ago, now can not use at all. What now?

Yeah, I am afraid it is a device issue. The tape thing failed, so I just called AT&T to find out where to get a new SIM. I will try the SIM, then when that fails I will see about getting the phone replaced. I figure if I go to Apple with this issue they will just tell me to try a new SIM anyway, so I might as well go ahead and get that step out of the way.
Did you buy from Apple or AT&T? I purchased from AT&T; I am not sure if AT&T will replace it... I assume it will be a warranty issue with Apple. That is ridiculous that they place $599 hold though!! Thanks for the warning, I would not have expected that at all. I know on the usual replacements from Apple they always say they will charge your credit card if you don't return the damaged product, but I did not realize they would place a hold on the card. I will definitely use a credit card rather than my bank card if it comes to that. Which it probably will.

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

If your phone was EVER hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's now re-locked to its original carrier and will work only with a SIM card from that carrier..

Receiving error message "Sim Failure" on iPhone 4S now no service. any advice?

receiving error message "Sim Failure" on new iPhone 4S now no service. any advice?

hi guys,
i recently bought a new iphone 4s factory unlocked. in order to avoid sim failures and invalid sim errors or No service errors, Each phone has to be unlocked by connecting it to the Itunes.
Kindly follow the below steps to avoid any SIM card conflicts
iPhone FULL Unlock - How it Works:
-Connect your iphone to itunes without any network sim inside and when connected click on the iphones name.
- Click Restore install latest version of iTunes on your Pc or Mac or click check for updates
- Let itunes Backup your phone and then Flash to the Latest Version.
- Now disconnect phone and reconnect after 10 seconds.
- Now Enter another network simcard that's not the same network its locked on to
- Connect phone to iTunes with not accepted (not valid) simcard
- Wait until iTunes detects the phone
- iTunes will display (Congratulations, Your iPhone is now unlocked)
- Phone Unlocked
- just follow the instructions about activating the Iphone.
and iphone is unlocked
NOTE : This is the only FULL LIFE TIME UNLOCK solution for Apple iPhone as the IMEI is registered as UNLOCKED in Apple database.
This solution should be used ONLY THOSE WHO BOUGHT FACTORY UNLOCKED iPHONE 4S.
Your phone will always be unlocked even after each new update of your phone firmware !
All reasons given like bad IMEI series, manufacturing defects etc blah blah are not logical as everything was tested before every sale.

I bought a factory unlocked iphone 4s. it was working fine but when i upgraded it to iOS 5.1 it gave me "no sim" message. so when i tried to restore the iphone setting it is giving me now "ICCID: unknown" message please help. any ideas?

i bought a factory unlocked iphone 4s. it was working fine but when i upgraded it to iOS 5.1 it gave me "no sim" message.
so i tried then to restore the iphone using itunes but it got worse it is giving me now "ICCID: unknown" message please help. any ideas?

Please define "factory unlocked". The term is basically meaningless. iPhones are sold either carrier locked or unlocked. Some carriers will unlock them after a period of time upon meeting certain requirements and paying a fee.
There are lots of places that will "factory unlock" an iPhone. This basically translates to "hack". This can cause permanent damage to the phone. Best case scenario is these phones will re-lock to the original carrier on an update or restore. Worst case it they become expensive bricks.
ICCID unknown indicates a critical failure. There is no way to resolve this other than taking it in to Apple and getting the phone replaced. It's very possible that the phone was hacked and attempting to update has now killed it.
Where, EXACTLY, did you get this phone?

How do I get the 'no sim' message off

HIya, roughly two days ago my iPhone 5 came up with the'nip sim' message and it's happened before but last time I reset my phone completely and it worked fine, I reset the phone yesterday and it's still coming up with the 'no sim' message and Im stuck on the activationpest up thing and it's sayingget need to insert a simTom finish up the activation, is there anything I can do??

Hey jessivafromcardiff,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving a ‘No Sim’ alert on your iPhone. The following resource should help to resolve your issue:
If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4148
1. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
2. Turn airplane mode on and then off again.
3. Restart your iPhone.
4. Check for a carrier settings update. Go to Settings > General > About. Install any available update.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Restore the iPhone.
If you still see the issue, contact Apple support.
Thanks,

Sim card fail iphone 4s with ios 8.0.2

I have an iphone 4s which I recently upgraded to ios 8.0.2. After the upgrade the phone started showing sim card failure. I would restart the phone and it would be ok. initially this was happening once a day and then the frequency increased. Today no amount of restarting the phone seems to be helping. On restarting the phone I get the message "No Sim Card Installed". My phone was working just fine earlier. Please help !

My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?..

My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?.. Is it because my 3g is only active on the android os and not the ios platform? Texts, Calls and Wifi work fine but the 3g doesn't work. My phone only shows 'GPRS' in the top left corner. Also I get a message come up saying "Could not activate mobile data network. You are not subscribed to a mobile data service".
Any advice would be great.

Hi hexonxonx, I'm on o2. Thanks for your advice. You are right. All I had to do was change one of my APN settings to mobile.o2.co.uk and reboot my phone and this sorted it out straight away! Thanks again. Much appreciated . I was thinking I was going to have to go back to an android phone to use my 3g again but this eliminated that need. Thanks.

"No Sim" Message anyone?

My iphone 3g has been working fine, until a few minutes ago when I got a No Sim message? anyone know what needs to be done?
I turned off and turned the phone back on, no result...Synched again, No result.
Not sure what else to do.

I had that same problem last night. Phone was working perfectly fine and suddenly I got that error msg.
I fixed it.
Might've not been this, but this is what I did.
I removed the SIM Card and since these SIM Cards are peeled off a larger business-card-sized card, it still had some excess material at the bottom, from not peeling it accurately. Apparently, this caused the SIM Card to slip around in the Tray, and hence the error. I chipped that excess away with my teeth (or anything you like), and strongly pushed the tray back in, and it recognized it, and has been working ever since.
Hope it works.

No SIM message

My iPhone 3G seems to work with some SIM cards and not others. One friend's AT&T SIM works beautifully and another's doesn't at all. Furthermore, if I put a non-AT&T SIM in their phone, it will give an "Invalid SIM" message. But put when I put some TMo SIMs in, it never even acknowledges there's a SIM card in the slot. Put someone else's in there and it at least shows "Invalid SIM."
I'm guessing it's a bad SIM card reader. Does that sound about right?
**TO BE CLEAR: I am not discussing anything other than a stock iPhone here. The iPhone exhibits this behavior even on a refreshly, stock-restored iPhone. Do not derail this thread discussing things we are not allowed to discuss here.**

No, the phone is already activated. My friend who sits next to me at work has an iPhone. If I put her SIM card in, a few seconds go by before it's getting a signal and I can make and receive calls. Take that one out and put another guy's AT&T SIM card in and nothing happens. Just a No SIM message at the top. But his SIM works fine in his iPhone.
