If that is the whole message try getting a replacement SIM from your cell service provider. If it is a longer message saying it is not a hardware error your iPhone is locked to a carrier and you will need to contact that carrier and ask what their unlock policy is and if you qualify.

Contact the cell service company you are currently using and get a replacement SIM and try it.

If the SIM doesn't work the reader on the iPhone may have failed in which case you would have to have it serviced.

I tried an o2 SIM card but I think it’s not working anymore as it’s not been used for a while and that comes with up no service . I’ve just done the update that was available and that still didn’t help

So you aren't getting the longer message and the replacement SIM from your cell service provider did not help?
