If you have followed the suggestions in the reply above, and the steps in the Related Article linked above, bring the iPhone into an Apple Store, into an Apple authorized service provider, or into your carrier, and have them try to open the SIM drawer.


If you still have the box the iPhone was shipped in, there’s usually a SIM removal tool included on a card within the box.
