no sim problem

im still having the issue but ive got a Genius appt in an hour and the AT&T store is right across way at the mall so rest assured i will not leave the darn place until i am completely satisfied. I'll be sure to report back with a complete update for you all afterwards.

I would love to know what the Geniuses told you...

It's not a AT&T issue I'm having the same problem in th uk on o2.

I just spoke to my local AT&T store and the Rep said that yesterday's loss of SIM cards was a known issue that was caused by the amount of activations going on and that the issue is now resolved. I guess only time will tell if this, in fact, is true but that's what AT&T in Boise Idaho is saying.
Thanks

That sounds like baloney to me, though i'd be happy to be proved wrong as i'm in the same boat.

still have the no sim issue. among other things my sim card slot is jammed in the slot and i cant get a "genius appt" till wednesday 😟. this is some bull. Cant use my phone, and need it for work. Any ideas for the stuck slot issue?

Same issue...

Did some online research and iPhone 3G had same issues for a while. For me resetting netowkr settings fixes it every time.

I will likely get it replaced soon.

please do. This has been happening to me as well. I've had it happen before with an older iphone, swapped the sim and never had the problem again. This time however, went to ATT store yesterday, swapped the Sim and it happened again before I got home about 5 min. away. I rest the network settings and it didn't happen again until this morning while on an important phone call. On, the phone with Apple now, hopefully it doesn't happen while on the call.
There has got to be a simple fix for this.

Just wanted to chime in that I've been having the same issue. A few times yesterday so I got my SIM replaced at an AT&T store. Ran into the problem once more last night afterwards and twice today. Certainly frustrating to see it happen and have to worry about having a paperclip to reseat the SIM card...

well, here it is: i went to my appt at the Genius Bar and after a few diagnostic tests my new friend Benjie told me to go over to the AT&T store across the hall and get a new SIM, and that he would keep my case open if i needed to come back. I went over to AT&T and the guy gave me a new SIM but almost immediately i was still having the same issue. I went back to the Genius and without even thinking twice he popped in the back and just gave me a new handset. He said it didnt appear to be a problem with the phone, but something made it just decide to not recognize SIM cards anymore so it would have to go back to HQ. So far no problems with the new handset what-so-ever. Therefore, if youre having this issue dont let them tell you "it's just the SIM." going to your local Apple store, explaining your situation and asking them to swap it for a new one seems to be the best answer, at least in my experience. Good Luck everyone!

On phone to Apple now. I'm with o2. Happened 6-7 times today. Resolved by a combination of turning off or removing sim. Get ringing in people, more people that call the quicker it'll get fixed.

I'm asking for them to send me a new phone out before 9am, let's see how good Apple Customer service really is! First appointment they could offer me with a "Genius" was Monday, and nothing available at the weekend for a couple of weeks! Not much help if you have a job

I also just got off the phone with Apple. The gentleman set me up with a genius bar appt. He found a thread that stated that the new micro sim is too small for the sim tray. That being said, when the phone gets jostled (put in pocket, moved etc.) that the sim may be moving slightly in the tray causing it to not make a good connection. He said they could correct this at the apple store. Not sure how they will be correcting it and will update you on it after my appt. but just thought I'd give an update on what I found out.

Going to the Apple store is not an option for me. It is a 7.5 hour round trip to the nearest store because Apple doesn't think their products are good enough for the unwashed masses here in WV! Don't even get me start on AT&T. I've been in third-world countries with better cellular coverage!

Congrats on them having one to give you. Keep us posted as to if it happens again or not. I have a genius appt. this afternoon. I hope they do the same for me and it solves the problem.

by the way, just plugged my phone in to back it up before my store visit. Anyone else notice this? My 16GB iphones capacity according to itunes is only 14GB. I'm talking about at the top where it gives you the phones details not the bottom where it tells you how much is left...I just noticed this and thought that was strange.
