Why is my phone saying there is no sim card
My iPhone Says No SIM Card! Here's The Fix.
0:00 / 0:00
Timecodes:
here is what to do when your iphone says
no sim the first thing we need to do is
grab a sim card ejector tool or a
straightened out paperclip we're gonna
take your sim card out of the sim card
tray all right how do we do it first
thing
take it out of the case the sim tray
unless you have a very old iphone it's
either on the left side or the right
side of your phone
in this case iphone 12 it is on the left
side just look for the little hole then
take your straightened out paper clip
or sim card ejector tool because you're
a nerd
stick it in there apply some pressure
not just for nerds anymore they started
including these with the newer iphones
too so if you got that tiny little metal
piece with your new iphone that is a sim
card ejector tool well i agree but i
don't think that most people would have
saved it that's true yeah you're like oh
i'm gonna go find the sim card ejection
tool all right so we popped it out
popped it out first thing to look at is
make sure your sim card looks okay no
damage sim card it seems to be in good
shape yep yep sim tray same thing make
bats make sure that's okay yeah looks
like it's in good shape and then also
take a look at the sim card slot okay
maybe you just want to clean that out
with an anti-static brush or an unused
toothbrush you can get in there and
brush it out as long as you're not using
anything metal or crazy it's not going
to cause any damage
yep now before we recommend just putting
it all back together try inserting the
sim card tray back into the sim card
slot and make sure it fits correctly if
you bought your phone off craigslist or
ebay and was a used phone they might
have swapped in a part that doesn't
actually fit it's a it's the wrong part
and that can cause issues with your sim
card yeah if you take an iphone 6 sim
tray and put it in a 6s it won't work
yeah they're all slightly different
let's put the sim card back in sometimes
just the act of injecting the sim card
and pushing it back in can fix this
problem all right it's back in yep so
give your iphone a few seconds to
reconnect to that sim card and see if it
says no sim in the top of the screen if
it doesn't move on to our next step and
that is to check for a carrier settings
update open the settings app
scroll down and tap general
then tap about wait here for about 10
seconds a pop-up will appear on the
screen saying the carrier settings
update is available would you like to
install it and you you always should you
always should but it will only appear if
an update is available if nothing is
available
it won't tell you but as you're waiting
for this i think this is actually a good
time for you to you know subscribe i
mean sure unless you live with an apple
expert we're probably saving you like
some hours of your life with this video
maybe so maybe you could hit the
subscribe button please that would be
very appreciated if no carrier settings
update is available restart your iphone
to restart your iphone tap back to
general upper left hand corner of the
screen then come down here and tap shut
down slide the power off will appear on
that screen swipe it left to right let
your iphone shut down wait about 60
seconds turn your iphone back on yep so
can't you do it with the buttons yes you
can but it's a little bit different on
all the different iphones now so this is
the same on all the iphones sure
easier to talk about next check for an
ios update ios updates fix all sorts of
bugs with phones including problems with
the modem or the sim tray or anything
like that yeah especially ios updates
that have modem updates some of them do
some of them don't but good idea to
check anyway we're going to scroll back
up to the top of the screen in settings
general tap software update if an update
is available tap download and install
and look at that one's downloading right
now on my phone is it it is well you're
a developer yep he's a developer he gets
all the updates we get updates all the
time ios 15.4 release candidate recently
came out we put out a whole video on ios
15.4 like that in the card i guess that
candidate was uh defeated after updating
your iphone it's a good idea to reset
network settings reset network settings
resets your bluetooth devices and your
wi-fi devices and your vpn and your
profiles and all that network stuff so
it's kind of a pain make sure that you
know your wi-fi password at home before
you do this because you'll have to
re-enter it after you do the reset
network settings but it's easier than
some of the other types of restores that
we'll talk about later also gets the
important cellular settings here oh yeah
that's what this video is about too
let's tap back to general upper left
hand corner of the screen scroll down to
transfer or reset iphone tap on that
tap reset
and then tap reset network settings
you'll enter your passcode
it'll ask you to confirm the reset and
then your iphone will shut down do the
reset turn itself back on next up find a
friend and try their sim card because it
could be a problem with just your sim
card so
if you don't have any friends what i
mean what are you supposed to do you go
up to a stranger on the street and say
my iphone says no sim cards i'm watching
this video right now and they're telling
me i need to borrow your sim card for 30
seconds right look look they're actually
saying it on youtube right the thing to
look out for here is does your iphone
always say no sim regardless of sim card
or is it just your sim card exactly so
when you pop in your friend's sim card
if it connects to the cellular network
then you know it's your sim card and you
know to go to your carrier to get a new
one that's an easy fix also if you don't
have any friends
this is a good solution i'm going to
talk about joining the pay it forward

they get those cool little badges custom

yesterday we had wheel of fortune
somebody won 35 dollars two other people
won 10 bucks and they were all

because you treat us special yeah click
that join button down below now you said
reach out to your carrier i found in my
personal experience reaching out to
carriers directly on social media to
their support accounts is the fastest
way to get help
they have people there all the time and
i feel like the the phone lines get more
action so the social media accounts
they're people there they want to help
you
super easy to do yeah especially on
twitter now if no sim cards work with
your iphone then it might be an iphone
issue in which case you should go to
apple you know especially water damage
can be a pretty common cause of just no
sim all the time so just be aware that
you can dfu restore your phone at home
but the problem is
that
the phone might not activate after you
do a dfu restore this used to be more of
a problem before iphone's activated on
wi-fi but i'm still cautious about this
because if there is some sort of a
problem after the dfu restore and even
it could be a hardware problem that
causes this your phone might not turn
back on you'll have just an unusable
phone so if your phone is broken or if
you're concerned about it make sure
you're at a carrier at the apple store
have a backup phone before you try to
restore a phone that says no seb that's
it that's what to do when your iphone
says no sim thanks for watching this
