Q: Iphone 5c wont read any sim card HELP!!

I recently bought a USED Iphone 5c At&t carrier and the phone wasnt activated so i tried to activate it and every time I try to put a sim card inside it says "Insert a sim card" or "No sim" at the top left im connected to wifi and everything just it wont read the sim card I tried cleaning the sim card with alcohol with a cue tip GENTLY.

 

I called at&t and requested a unlock and they unlocked it but it still wont read the sim card the sim card is a Straight talk at&t sim card (non activated) (non used).

 

Why wont it work?

 

Ios 9.3.1

    If it will not read the SIM at all, which is what you are describing, it very well could be a hardware error. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider to have the device examined.
