iOS 17 causing software issues on I phone

I recently downloaded the iOS 17 software update to my iPhone 13 Pro Max. It worked fine for a few days but now my phone keeps going into (SOS only) saying

(NO SIM)I believe that the update has caused software issues on my iPhone.


Is there a way that I can fix this issue ? or is there a way that I can remove the new update?


Because I’m unable to make or receive phone calls as well as messages. My Sim card was fine before I downloaded the new update.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 17

Remove and reinsert the SIM card.

If it doesn't help visit your carrier, maybe the SIM card is damaged, ask for a replaced (new) card. Normally it is free.

Ask also to check if the SIM tray is bent, as even a tiny misalignment can cause the SIM card to not fully connect with the internal contacts in your iPhone.
