No SIM card installed problem of Iphone 5

**rna800** · December 7th, 2013 11:24 AM

Guys,

Have you encountered the "No Sim card installed" problem?

Since yesterday, my IP5 has been giving me this message. A few restarts will solve it then after after a few hours, it will show that message again. The phone is totally useless when it comes to contacting others when that problem happens.

It happened before, 2x, about 3 or 4 months ago, and it recurred yesterday until today.

I have researched on the net and it seems that a lot of people abroad have experienced this problem too even if they updated their software to iOS7.

Had this happened to you? What solved it?

Is your sim card a "cut" sim or an original nano sim? Ive had that problem on a cutted sim.

I got the sim from Smart so I don't know if it's an original or they just cut it.

Sir baka hindi lang align ang sim card sa slot or baka sim card ang may problema..... try using a mongol pencil eraser and then erase mo ung gold plated sa sim card mo para gumanda contact.

Na try ko na lahat yan, sir Retz.

Nasubukan ko din ung linisin ng alcohol, lagyan ng tape ung sim, lagyan ng tape ung sim tray, restart, update to iOS7, wala talaga, ayaw na. Nag research kasi ako sa possible solutions kaya I tried everything. Pero ung try a diff sim, hindi pa.

Dadalhin ko nga sa Smart ngayon para ma check nila. Pero feeling ko hindi nga align ung sim card kasi meron siyang gap, a hairline gap, and habang nakalagay ung sim, nai slide ko siya, forward & backward, ng konting konti. Ang pinagtataka ko lang, baka antagal ko ng ginagamit, bigla nalang nawala. Buti nalang I have my 3 yr old beaten but very reliable Nokia E63. Buti pa yun never nagka problem.

nasubukan mo naba lagyan ng ibang simcard..wala naman nagiging problema kung cut lang ang sim card,,
basta ung simcard mo eh.mga bagong sim ngayon.or upgraded na,,kasi kung ung dating sim card pa eh.hindi na kaya gawing nano sim sapagkat malaki ung pinaka copper niya,kapag kinut sigurado masisisra,,

halos 100 pcs na kinut kong sim using sim cutter wala naman problema..
baka sa iphone na talaga may sira,,
reset network setting mo..try mo lang..

Ayos na. Size ng sim ang problem. Tama ang hinala ko, ung hairline space/gap between the sim and sim tray, it causes the sim to move. Kasi I tried it on my gf's IP5, di niya din mabasa. But when she put her sim in mine, ok and her sim fits perfectly on the sim tray, hindi kayang islide.

I brought it to Smart, they replaced the sim.
