this is not a repeated topic
i searched all the web for solution but i couldn't find any
my At&t tilt is unlocked it works perfectly for short time ever few resets
else, it give the message "the sim card is missing" you can srtill make emergency calls if your provider supports it
i tried every thing, unlocker, hard spl, all the tools herebut nothing worked
can any body help?
Any chance the SIM is loose in its mounting?
It looks to me like there is a bit is wiggle space in the SIM slot.
did you try another SIM card?

One of my kaisers uses an old sim where a layer of laminate had been peeling away. This meant that when I inserted the sim, the loose laminate folded back on itself and acted as an insulator between the brass phone and sim contacts. So I removed the offending laminate but still had the occasional "no sim installed". The problem was that the sim was now a little thinner. I applied pressure to the centre of the metal belt that holds the sim in place ensuring that the contacts were "always together" and have not had any problem since.
I hope this simple solution works for you.

ANother thing you can try is rubbing the gold portion of the SIM card on your jeans or clean it off with a pencil eraser. I had that problem, and it stemmed from a little corrosion or crud building up on the face of the SIM card, and by rubbing it on my jeans it cleaned the corrosion off and the sim was able to make good contact with the points in the card slot.
Sometimes sim cards go bad. I've had about half a dozen go bad out of about 40 devices that I have supported over the last couple of years. AT&T acts like it's a common occurence and no big deal. I just take the device to one of their storefronts and they replace it immediately.

Did you try unplugging the battery, put the sim card and then reinsert the battery and start?

hey just wanted to say thanks. i just added a piece of paper between the card and the metal part and it worked. just wanted to say thanks.
I had the very same problem today after putting a brand new sim in the phone.
Found that I had put the damn sim in the wrong way round. Oops.
I had the exact same problem and in my case, putting a piece of paper in did not help at all. I had to get a brand new sim card.
i had a similar problem. it couldn't read my sim card, but read my gf's tmobile sim card and her phone read my sim card fine. then i next day i took it to an ATT shop, asked for a new sim card and it worked perfectly fine now. even the guy from the shop couldn't tell me what is the problem, he said, it happens every now and then.
Just curious if there's a program that could take all the info from the SIM card, and store it so one isn't actually needed in the phone, I'm getting tired of spacing mine out with a piece of paper and hoping it works.
So, just after the first day I got my Xperia T, the SIM tray was broken. I noticed my device having random reboots, then telling me there's no SIM card inserted. It took me some time, but then I noticed that whenever I insert my SIM card and close the tray, it just pops right out again. First I thought that maybe my SIM card was the problem, since I'm using a Nano-SIM with an adapter, so I tried with a regular Micro-SIM instead, but that didn't work either.
Right now my device is in repair and as I can tell from the repair status, they replaced the whole mainboard, which hopefully solved the problem.
Is anyone else having issues like that?
Same here, I had to put several layers of adhesive tape over the microsim to fatten and then lock it into the tray. Nasty, but working.
Same for me, but with 2 layers of post-it, it works.
Bad cut simcard or not perfect adapter is problem. Them simple brake a tray. Then good ones doesn't work either.
Use proper SIM card from first time.
Had the same problem - is it possible to replace only sim tray or is necessary to replace the whole mainboard?
Well I bought Nexus 5. Because of that I had to get a Micro SIM card to fit in it.
I bought another Micro -to- Normal SIM adapter. Like an external Jacket so that I can use the same SIM in my SGS Advance.
Now, because of the SIM holder design, the terminals might have gotten a little worn out due to inserting and removing the SIM card.
But What I dont understand is, it was working fine until suddenly my SGS Advance stopped recognising my SIM card.
Ok.
So I tried other SIM cards. Still the same result. Mind you, the phone was recognising the SIM Card(s) before it was stopped recognising.
Cause for it :
1.physical damage
well I dont think so cause I dont see if there are any terminals missing or something out of place or anything that has fallen off.
2.Software issue.
Please help me. And yeah Phones outta warranty period running 2.3.6 & yeah thats about it. Please see image below. Top notification bar just right of the mid line, symbol that no SIM card is inserted.
I just got a Moto X, and put a nano sim card in the phone. It was quite easy to get the tray out, and put the SIM card into the tray and back into the phone. However, now I can't get the tray (along with the SIM card) out again. I really need to get the SIM card out of the phone. Can anyone please help me? I've already tried using the SIM card eject tool and sliding paper above and under the tray. I've also attempted to jiggle the tray, but cannot, as it will not come out at all.
Can anyone suggest some advice for me? I would be willing to go to a store to get this fixed, but that would have to wait until the end of the day, it would be really helpful to get the card out now.
Better go to a store than damaging the slot. :/
