    Hello Ramteid,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    Please follow the steps below in order to help resolve this issue where you are getting the message "No SIM" on your iPhone.

     

     

    1. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Turn airplane mode on and then off again.
    3. Restart your iPhone.
    4. Check for a carrier settings update. Go to Settings > General > About. Install any available update.
    5. Remove the SIM card and make sure that it's a valid SIM that your carrier provided. Also make sure that it's not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
      A SIM tray that comes with one iPhone model won't necessarily work with a different iPhone model. When you insert the correct SIM tray, the SIM tray should be flush with the device.
    6. If you have another SIM card, insert it. You can use a SIM card from any phone with the same format as your iPhone SIM card. If your iPhone works with that SIM card, contact the carrier that issued your original SIM card.
    7. Restore the iPhone.

    If you still see the issue, contact Apple support.

     

    If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone

     

    Cheers,

    Alex H.

    Thank you Alex for your reply, I assume this works with an iPadf mini because that's what I have, tried your solution and it doesn't work, I think this problem should be an Apple problem and not fixed by it's users.

    Hi Alex.  Your reply is for iPhone.  Like Ramteid, I have an iPad (Generation 4) .  After change to iOS 8 the pop-up No SIM Card Installed happens several times and hour.  I do not have an iPhone nor do I have a cellular plan with any company.  My iPad was purchased with cellular capability but never installed SIM.

    How to turn that pop-up off?!?   Thanks.
