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

That worked for me as well. Thanks for the "Update" advise. Very important !

SHAME ON YOU APPLE !

I stopped reading at "supposedly".

For what it's worth, it also helps to be apple certified when you get to the genius bar 😀

its been almost about 3 weeks since i updated to ios 5.0.1 ( 9A406 )

and that happened because i was really frustrated and angry about losing signal, no service, sim failure, no sim and lots of problems.

at the begining, everything was working perfectly, no errors and i was able to send / recieve messages make calls and never lost the network or missed a call.

but i noticed that whenever im in a low coverage area, my device showed the no service message and it took about 10 min to get the signal back.

but i found a way to force it to catch a signal much faster and that is by calling myself from the same number.

but 3 days ago, i waked u having the no sim error ! and for a second, it felt really bad, then the situation occured again after 6 hours, the in waked up in the last 2 days having the same problem and nothing fixed it other than restarting my device or reseting network settings. and the frequency of losing the signal increased dramaticly.

i think 5.0.1 ( 9A406 ) was a temporary fix and it was aimed to calm us or make us think that our problem is solved what gives apple extra time to find a solution ( although i think that they never will ).

over 12 hours now and the 5.1 beta has kept my phone working, fingers crossed.

14 hours using 5.1 beta 3. All good. Bettery still has 82%. I even turn on iCloud sync.

friends... i have some problem with SIM( from Russia... just for solidarity

So why mention the fact then? By the way there is more than one factory making iPhones, maybe you should have read that post after all.

i just updated mine:

from: iOS 5.0.1 (9A406) to iOS 5.1 beta 3

from: 1.0.14 to firmware 1.5.04

its working now and i hope the sim failure issue has been resolved 100%

i will give update tomorrow

cheers!

Has ANYONE installed iOS 5.1 beta 3 and NOT had it fix their SIM issues?

oh, and nearly 24 hours on 5.1 beta, phone has been out and about, working perfectly so far!

could it really be the SIM card? I'll wait for it to come (hopefully soon), and if that doesn't help, send it back to Apple. What a bunch of BS.

thanks for the reply. I was hoping it wouldn't come down to it. bad show for apple, really not what you want when you cash out big bucks for a phone and it fails after 10 days.

one more thing, when I restored it it says it will install iOS 5.0.1 9A406 (originaly 405 was on it). don't know if that helps, but reading from this board I'd say no.

I've got the iPhone showing in iTunes now, but iTunes isn't offering any options except "Eject". now what? is there a way out? could it really be just the SIM card?
