'No SIM' issue on iP4 - anyone had/resolved it?

ps3ud0 · 2 Aug 2011 at 10:44

Hi Guys,

As of yesterday my iP4 has started given the No SIM message on my phone randomly and Im wondering if others have had it and how they fixed it?

Its a SIM-free phone so its totally unlocked with a microSIM provided by TMobile - I bought it the day the iP4 came out so I guess its just gone out of warranty.

To fix it yesterday, I just airplaned it off and on and it picked up the network - this morning though the same happened and its only when I took out the SIM and rebooted the phone that it eventually picked up network. It first gave 'No Network' message when I just tried to airplane it or remove/reenter the SIM without boot.

Im not sure what to do but Im guessing this involves a trip to Apple MK? Is there something TMob can do before I do that? Because its a microSIM I cant even stick it in a spare phone so need to get this sorted sooner rather than later.

TIA

My sim stopped working, showed the same error message.

A trip to O2 for a replacement soon solved that.

Stupid question - replacement SIM or replacement iPhone? Assume the former...

Doing some googling it either appears its a tray issue than allows the SIM to go loose or th tray itself contacts the SIM and shorts it

. Dont really wanna waste going to MK if theres a good chance Ill be told to go to the network provider...

It was a sim issue with mine which a new sim fixed, just call your network provider and ask for a new sim to be sent to you. The worst outcome is that it doesnt fix your phone and you as such need to take it to an apple shop however its certainly worth doing first as to avoid and un-needed trips.

I had the same thing and it was also a SIM issue, I phoned Orange who sent out a replacement for me which solved it.

I saw various fixes online but they only managed to get it working again for brief moments.

Cheers guys - just spoke to them and theyve told me to pop to a TMobile store and pick up a SIM and theyll just refund the charge back to my account - very quick and painless!

Ill get that done tomorrow
