Sim card problem

Hello,
I currently have a Nano sim card and the Xperia Z doesn't seem to recognize it when I've fit it with the Nano to Micro sim adapter. Has anyone had success with the Nano to Micro adapter or does the Xperia Z only "recognize" true Micro sim cards?

My partner has the same phone as myself XZ she has the nano SIM working in her XZ it was fiddle getting the simcard in as the XZ has tray itself so I can't see reasons why you have these issues tbh I cut the simcard myself as she wanted the iPhone 5 till I got my upgrade she wanted this XZ now stuck with 3 contracts but hey hope this helps.. Just make sure it's all aligned up and it's inserted with SIM contacts facing down..

I have a nano sim with micro sim adaptor, works fine, just make sure you have the sim inserted correctly and up the right way.

I can't for the life of me figure out what this network problem is. I'm with Bell Canada and the sim card is not cooperating - haven't been able to get service and I inserted the sim card with the adaptor properly because it recognizes the phone number I have. Going to try buying a Micro sim tomorrow and see if that works, if not, this phone might have to go back :crying:

So what is your problem exactly? Can you make phone calls? Can you recieve phone calls? Is data not working?...
Anyway try this. Go into settings, then more under data usage, then mobile network settings, Access point names, do you have any listed here? If not go into network operators, should force the phone to search and list ALL the available networks, all the ones with the NO symbol will be other neworks you can't use on that SIM. Now select your appropriate option. Make sure data is enabled.

Data is enabled but I have the red exclamation point in the top left of the status bar indicating no service - can't make calls, no data, not able to browse the internet, etc. All the normal things you would expect to do with data, of course, I can still go on Wifi and such.
My network doesn't seem to be showing up when it searches for service providers, all I see is 2G/3G EXT under my available networks.

Maybe your provider is not sending out APN's/connection settings for this phone, or has the sending of APN's/connections locked down to known devices for their network, would pay to ask them first before you purchase another SIM etc.

xperia z no service
i have quite similar problem too. my problem is, i often got no service when i am outside my home. whenever i was in my home, the connection network is excellent. but when i went outside home like going to work, i got no service at all.
the only way i tried to get the connection back is by trying to call someone, then the network will be present about a couple of seconds and then no service at all.
please help me, i can make phone call when i am at home but i couldnt receive any phone call when i am outside. i am the opinion that the service provider cut my sim card wrongly. could it be the problem?
thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,
I have purchased my Xperiz Z 'C6602' in the start of this year (2014). Yesterday, I faced a problem that my mobile was showing no Sim card detection. I have restarted my mobile many times, open the Sim slot and again placed it corrected but the problem persists. I have reset my mobile, check the aeroplane mode but all is well. I am wondering that how this happened because my mobile was working great. I used it at night very well and then after some hours at morning the mobile showed no network connection (detect no Sim) while the Sim was in the Sim Slot.
Please tell me the solution of this problem. Thanks

problems with 3 in 1 sim cards- solved
Had problems with my new Consumer Cellular card in a 6 month old LG phone (takes full size card) and a 1 year old Samsung 3 mini (takes mid sized card).
The original card they sent me was a 2 in 1 card and worked fine in both. When I had my number transfered from my original carrier they sent me a new card which was 3 in 1. It initially worked but then stopped in both within a couple of hours. They sent me new 3 in 1 card- same problem.
I read on line to put a piece of paper about the thickness of a manila folder between the top of the card and the metal bracket to apply more force to the contacts- worked fine in BOTH phones.
Why? Because the nano section of the SIM is thinner than the other two sections. To make matters worse, the side with the contacts is recessed into the card instead of flush to the face of the card. When it is placed in a non-nano phone, there is insufficient force on the electrical contacts.
Hope this helps someone.

Was looking up ways to get the sim card tray FIXED.. Brilliant solution, indeed. Paper ROCKS>> Once I put a few pieces of paper between the sim card and the tray, the sim is detected. Thanks a ton for sharing the simple and effective solution!!

Have you tried swapping the working sim card to the other slot, to verify that both slots are working?

the problem is only in slot2, and when i put a sim card in it while the phone is on it asks me to restart to get the sim to work

I would not have expected to be able to hot swap Sims. Did that used to work?
Just slot two, and does it do the same thing with both the Sims you own, or just one?

the point of the hot swap attempt is to see if slot 2 is still read the sim, and it still does
i tried both sims, same problem

no ideas ?!

SIM-error and hangups

I recently purchased Nexus 6 and since it uses nano-sim, I used a sim-card cutter to make my micro-sim a nano sim. Worked fine for a while but then all of a sudden I started getting messages about no sim card. Reboot always fixes the issue, but this happens like 30 times a day, so rebooting the phone that often doesn't seem like a good idea. The phone also freezes all the time, no matter what I do, and then at other times it works like a wonder. I've had a Nexus 6 phone before (this is my 2nd) and it had the same issue. Apparently nothing was wrong with it.
Is the SIM-card causing these freezes, or is this a part of the world-wide issue that has been reported recently in the media? No other phone has had issues with my SIM-card, even though I used the cutter to make it nano. So I doubt it's a faulty sim-card. I've tried LG G4, Xperia z3+ and others and they've not had any issues with the cut sim.
edit
I've noticed the freezing happens most when I've recently charged the phone. Last night I left the phone on charger and when I woke up, the phone had switched itself off.
edit2
I've tried resetting the phone, also hard reset. Didn't help.

A method to check if your cutted sim card is damaged or not is to remove the sim card and replace it with a working sim card of another phone.

It happened to the wifey, and swapping with my SIM confirmed it.

SIM card not being recognized

Hello,
First of all, I'm a long time reader of these forums, thank you all for the help you provide here.
I've had my blu r1 hd since september, and everything was working fine up until last month went my SIM card stopped being recognized, I don't know what happened, first it was working then it stopped working, then I moved the SIM card from slot 1 to slot 2 and that was working fine for like two weeks and then that stopped working too and now neither slot works, so I'm left with a phone that can't make phone calls. I converted the phone from prime to oem to see if that helped but it didn't, it's still the same. I didn't wipe it tho, don't know if that would change anything. I've tried other SIM cards and none are recognized. I entered *#*#4636#*#* into my phone, and under information it says "turn on radio" as if the cell radio was off.
Anyways, I'd appreciate any help. thanks!

This is a silly question but did you try another sim card? Sometimes sim cards just die. Happened to me not too long ago...

I did, it was one of the first things I tried, but it didn't help

I have the same phone, too. My sim card stopped working after I clicked on an ad/web link, that went straight to a malware website. There was an immediate pop-up message that came up, about the sim card not working/being detected; somehow the sim port got deactivated after this. Go figure.

Dear Sir,
Please tell me Indian SIM card 4g working or working?

Note 5 Sim Card Removed errors! Help!

Hi, I bought a used unlocked T-Mobile Note 5 a few months ago and for the first month or so it worked great. Then I started getting this Sim Card Removed error occasionally. After a restart it would be fine for a while and then pop up again. Now it's basically constant, several times per hour I get this error and have to restart the phone, sometimes even immediately after a restart it pops up again, other times it'll go a few hours without popping up. I tried a fix I found online of taping the Sim Card into the Sim tray so it can't move, and it didn't help at all. The Sim card works just fine in my Nexus 6p, so it's not a sim card issue I don't think. Any help would be appreciated!!

Anyone got any ideas on this issue? I got a new SIM card and it's still happening.
