How to fix 'No SIM' issue on iPhone?

Woke up in the morning and discovered the "no sim" message on my iPhone 13 pro.

In the evening all worked fine.

Completed the steps from the help article (removing, inserting etc).

I inserted the same sim into my old iPhone Xr and it works in it all right.

I erased the iPhone 13 and before restoring it from the cloud backup moved the sim back to it. The iPhone accepted it without any issues.

So I moved to restoring the backup. After restoring "no sim" issue returned.


The question is:

Should it be enough to reset the carrier settings as one of the help articles suggests and use the restored back up, or should I set up the iPhone as new as this could be something else in the backed up version that creates the issue?

Thanks
