"Insert SIM" is shown when SIM card already present. How do I get SIM card to work or be recognised by the phone, OR how do I get the info off it if it's damaged?

  • Anonymous Aug 13, 2012

    I should add that the SIM is a prepaid one from '3' company. I've been using it on 2G network fine due to the age of the handset. The SIM is not detected by other mobile handsets. Other mobiles also give the same message about missing SIM. I'm fairly certain that the SIM is damaged but I'm really anxious to get important numbers off the phone. Is any kind of data retrieval possible? (I'm located in Hong Kong.)

SOURCE: it says insert sim and sim card is already in it

take the sim out, use a plastic grocery bag and rub the sim card with the bag. Make sure you don't put your finger on the metal part.

Try the SIM in another phone. SIM cards go bad.
If it doesnt work in the other phone it will have to be replaced. I
THis can also be caused if you set up a PIN code and it was entered in wrong too many times and you did not use the right PUK code to unlock it. THis will permanently damage a SIM card.
f it does work in another phone then your phone is no longer able to read SIM cards. Check with the manufacturer for warranty info.

SOURCE: WHY DOES MY PHONE SAYS INSERT SIM

try taking SIM and battery out placing it back in an powering on.

If you try this and it still does not work you may need a new SIM card. Take it to a local dealer they should have a new SIM they will put your number on it and you will be back in business.

If the new SIM doesn't not work you will now know it is your Phone, which means time for a new one.

good luck

Sim card not recognised

Hi,
Try inserting a different Sim card and check if it recognizes. If not you need to replace the sim card plate in the phone.
