Sim Card Failure No Sim with iPhone 4S Anyone Else?

Got the new 32GB iPhone 4S today from AT&T, activated the phone was working all morning, I started experimenting with Siri and a couple minutes later the phone was hotter than usual and I get Sim Card failure, and Bad SIM messages. The phone now only says No Sim. I get home take out the SIM card and put it in my previous iPhone 4 and it works just fine. I then put in a blank micro SIM into the new iPhone 4S, but it still says NO SIM. Thinking the SIM reader got fried some how already.



Anyone else have this problem maybe a bad batch out there, or I just got an unlucky lemon?



I made an appointment for the genius bar tomorrow, but I seriously doubt they will have replacement stock of the 4S already. Guess I will find out what my next course of action will be tomorrow trying to get a replacement since new orders are taking 30 days to ship I am afraid I will have to wait awhile to enjoy the new features of my already paid for phone 😟

ну вполне возможно, что 5.1 и 5.0.2 идут по разным путям, 5.0.2 это багфикс, а 5.1 вроде должна содержать какой-то новый функционал. Если так, то вполне возможно, что в бете 5.1 баги 5.0.1 не правили вообще.

Translation from Russian Apple forum


An hour ago, inserted sim in 4s, check the problem with the network after flashing to 5.1 and go back to 5.0.1, well, s

In the end, nothing worked, no dial-up, the network loses.


Then I put the same sim back to the old iPhone 2g (via adapterfor Micro-Sim). In this case, as before, 4swithout Sims went on to write that he still beeline.


Talking, writing sms on my old one iPhone 2g for an hour and 5 minutes ago I phoned on my 4s!!! How a phone without SIM cards can make a call?? O_o

Well talk to 4c, in the hands holding the 2g which catches the samebeeline, with inserted Simcoe. What is going on?


The result ... 2 phones, one Sim and both work O_o rebutnul 4c,wrote no network, hike telepathic connection with Simcoe, which is2d, still missing

AlyCWB - any updates? Do you still have normal operation?


Dimash - ты серьезно? на 5.1b проблема в силе?


ivan.pozdnyakov - фантастика! я тоже так хочу!


По делу, может вы читали или нет... я свой купил в канадском онлайн сторе, почтой пришла в сша, там работала без проблем неделю с моей симкой МТС-Армения в роуминге. Приехал домой, работала день, потом апдейт на 5.0.1 и все, не работает... Мое решение - поменял оператора на OrangeArmeniа, проблем никаких абсолютно. Хотя другой чел с темже оператором проблему наблюдает...


Я сильно надеялся что проблема в прошивке модема (baseband), и продолжаю надеятся, может в 5.1бетта это еще не исправили... обидно, 733 канадских баска...и разочарование поклонника бренда

да, я серьезно. Мегафон-СПб + 4с 16гб из Великобритании на бета 1 iOS 5.1 - баги с пропадающей сетью во весь рост, аналогично тому, как было с 5.0.1


Сейчас я воткнул карту МТС - посмотрю, что будет с ней.


Многие пишут, что проблема возникла после обновления на 5.0.1, а с 5.0 все было ОК. Если это так, то у нас есть шанс.
