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

The same problem. 4S 64Gb

У меня та же проблема, замена сим не помогла, перепрошивка тоже.

The iOS 5.1 beta solved the problem for me! I hope Apple release it soom for everybody.

Hi, I've bought for the first time in my life an new iPhone 4s 32Gb via Vodafone in Italy. After one hour I had the same sim card failure. I've attempted the following:

- move from regular SIM to a brand new micro-SIM;

- re-initialize micro-SIM via Vodafone call centre (remaining 4 hours without signal);

- change micro-SIM with a new one, just few hours ago, and I had the problem showing again.

Tomorrow I'll call back Vodafone support and if they won't provide any valid solution or workaround I'll withdraw from the contract and buy another phone (Nokia Windows Phone)! 🙂

Unfortunately I've bought recently also an iPad, but once sold on eBay I won't buy any other Apple product. They definitively suck, don't provide any reasonable cost/quality rate and I'm definitively afraid that the future will be even worse.

If Apple wants beta testers please pay for it or do not pretend to be paid 600-800 bucks for immature and bugged products.

Thanks&Bye.

The only thing work for me is a replacement with an iphone 4S without upgrading to iOs 5.0.1... but after a few hours the message Invalid SIM appears... its weird, new iphone, new simcard... right now i going for the tape solution and wait... this error showme that exist something else, not only software... If it is a hardware problem, we are screw... whatever... i hope this works... and if not... I roll back to my old iphone 4...

Thanks to everyone to trying help 🙂

Installed beta 5.1 5 hours ago as well and have not had a sim failure so far. Will let you all know if my luck will hold. Normally I have 2 to 6 sim failures a day that require a reboot.

After having replaced 2 iPhone 4S' and 3 SIM cards (I even started all fresh with no restore on the latest iPhone replacement, I still got the "No SIM" or "Invalid SIM card" message. BUT I have good news - I now know whats wrong (others have found this out too). The Micro SIM is touching the metal tray slightly causing the SIM card to short circuit. To deal with this, just get a few new SIM cards and hopefully one of them will be cut in a way so that it doesn't touch. Alternatively, you can get a standard SIM card and cut it out yourself so that it fits (Google how to do this). Hopefully, Apple will soon offer all of us a new tray that's correctly designed so we don't have to worry about this going forward...

Watch this!

Here's what I said in another thread about the tape thing:

"After reading all the threads on this, I'm pretty sure the tape thing is a red herring ... the SIM tray is insulated in the crucial location. Have a close look at the colour of the metal on the outside, and compare with the colour of the rests for the Micro-SIM. The tray has been coated with some grey paint. I have tested it with multimeter probes, and I can confirm that is insulated."

If you have a SIM tray that is not insulated, get it replaced!

Gino Olivato's every 1 is saying tht but how did u get tht 5.1??? and how can we all get it ??? reply asap???

bro how can we all get 5.1 and how did u get it ???

if you are a developer you can use beta firmwares and they're talking about 5.1beta

You don't need to be a developer but your iPhone has to be registered to one of the developer's account.

Ни хера не решает проблему 5.1 beta ни с симкой ни с батареей....(((

Ios 5.1 beta doesn't solve a problem with a sim card and battery...(

how can we be developer ??? plz say cause i want to try my best to solve this problem>>>....

You should find a developer who can add your iPhone to his account. There is some paid service for that. Try "add UDID to developer account" in Google to find it.
