IPhone :: 'The SIM Card Inserted In This Iphone Does Not Appear To Be Supported'
Jun 7, 2012
My son has passed his iphone 4s on to me as he now has a new one, he has had it unlocked from his carrier, but when I try to connect via itunes I get the message 'The SIM card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported'. I have read numerous posts and support pages and most say to restore the phone and all will be well. The problem I have is how do I restore the phone if I can't connect to itunes?
when i tired to activate an iphone bought off a friend it says the sim car inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported. he seems to think its unlocked but i cant activate it.
I just sold my 3GS and I'm trying to use my old 2G iPhone. But when I put the sim in its says "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported" So I went to AT&T and got a new SIM card only to have the same thing happen. any suggestions? I can't go 17 days without a phone.
I was restored the iphone setting using itunes. after restore i got the "the sim card inserted in this phone does not apper to be supported" message appeared in i tunes and my iphone in emergency call mode only...
It was working fine first when it came but it didn't have any of my data on it and it was jail broken. I researched into this and it said that a restore of the software would get rid of that and then I'd be able to put my own data onto it. It was extracting the software everything seemed like a normal restore but then it came up with the message "the SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported" I cannot get passed it and O2 (I'm in the uk) the staff in my local shop just didn't have a clue what to do.
i try to upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios5, but when all done suddenly my iphone couldnt open due to out of coverage. On the itunes says that 'there is no simcard inserted on your phone' why could it be happen like this?
I was asked did i want to update my iphone to the new IOS 5.1 and i clicked on update but now it doesn't recgonise my iphone anymore and I just keep getting a message 'There is No SIM Card installed on the iPhone you are attemting to activate'. is there anyway of restoring it to the previous software??
I get this msg on itunes after updating to 4.0.2 (wasn't a wise move but I had to since my iphone bircked and had to restore). Any one know what should I do? I have Iphone 3gs was on 4.0 jailbreaked/unlocked updated to 4.0.2 nothing works only emergency call
After completing an update to IOS4, the iPhone is now locked. Whenever I try to connect with iTunes, it says that SIM cards is not supported... What I can only see on the screen is the USB cable that shows it should be connected to iTunes.
im in ireland on holidays from australia, when i tried to put a meteor sim card into my iphone 4 which is unlocked i gets this message saying "sim card appears not to be supported by carrier"
i got this iphone 3g from a friend. He got it for the US from another person. We have no idea what the carrier is or if its factory unlocked or not. The phone was not jailbroken or anything. Then one day my friend updated his iphone 3g to the ios 4.1 which also upgraded his baseband to 06.15.00 so the phone is now locked and no sim here in Bahrain can be used. He asked me if i could unlock it for him so i tried to do so thinking i could use ultrasnow. I jailbroke it first using redsnow 09.6b2 and pointed it on its firmware 4.1 (from iclarified) when it asked for one and the jailbreak went through perfectly.
But then what he forgot to tell me was that there the wifi wasnt working on his phone. There would just be that thing circling next to the connecting to wifi but nothing would show up. So there is no way for me to get into cydia and get the ultrasnow right? So i read thru some forums here and found that the wifi thing is a bug with the ios4 when u update? So i thought of downgrading the phone instead to 3.1.3. When i tried to do that using the full restore where u shift click the restore button and select the 3.1.3 firmware, it was going okay it first but then i got a 1015 error in itunes that the phone cant be restored. So i did the recovery fix (which i was able to succesfully do to another friend's iphone) it almost worked with this one but i coouldnt connect to itunes after coz i get the message:: "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit supported Carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card" This is where i am stuck. I dont even know what firmware the phone is currently in after what i did.
I know my Sim card is working because it worked with my other phone. I did not update to Lollipop because of all of the glitches and bugs that have been around. I just got this phone brand new a few days ago and realized that I couldn't make any calls/texts. I am getting 5 bars of signal. This is a T-mobile LG G3
I recently travelled from the UK to the US with a Galaxy S6. I'm on the Giffgaff (which piggy backs off O2) network.
I plugged my phone in to a US wall outlet with a travel adapter. I then when picking up the phone received a very violent shock (perhaps static, I am told), and the device was very warm. The phone now says No SIM inserted. However -- if I reseat the SIM card, it says 'SIM card added' and displays the 'Reboot' option. After rebooting the phone, no SIM card detected again.
I think, at least hope, this is software related, as it seems the SIM is being detected.
I'm running stock Android, and I've looked at the other, similar threads in this forum, but didn't find a solution. I tried " *#197328640#" and I get 'Not registered on network'.
My x10 has always been saying I have no SIM card inserted even though I do and it works perfectly. My status bar always shows my connections to be changing all the time, going from 5 bars to 1 bar, to no connection then no sim card and all over again. I'm just wondering if it was the updates fault, and do I have to re-update or factory reset the phone. P.S the SIM card message disappears after a phone restart but will come right back once you put it to sleep.
My bold 9780 sporadically doesn't recognize my media card. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't! I've tried almost everything. Battery pull, newest update, even changed the card reader.
I just got a BB9900, and for some reason the device thinks the Micro Sd Card is not inserted, I have tried two different cards. My computer is reading the cards.
And then I click yes. it says "If lost clusters are found during the repair, do you want to save them?" so I click yes.. then it says "Repairing card please wait".. then it says "Media Card Repair Failed". What do I do? I took out the card and the battery.
all of a sudden i noticed after reviewing a pic i had just taken that my other pics were gone. I went to my options/ memory/ says "memory card not currently inserted in device". I can read the card find in an sd card reader attached to my computer but phone suddenly doesn't recognize. any ideas?
tried battery pull, nothing I have saved my files on the computer and reformatted then put back nothing.I have blackberry bold 9700
I just unlocked my phone and inserted my sim card inside this new phone and I can't make any calls. My old phone was a Blackberry Flip.. Does anyone know whats going on?? ppl said to update the OS or update it via the blackberry updater, but wouldn't that mess up my phone? How can I make my BB work??
