Phone saying insert sim card have inserted sim with credit on but nothing happens

There are two probable causes.
1. You have inserted sim incorrectly. Remove SIM and insert properly with golden contacts facing the contacts in phone.
2. Your SIM card might be damaged. Try with another SIM card and if it works, then you have to replace your sim card.
If nothing works, you have to take your phone to some service centre

Hi,when a phone keeps saying insert Sim card, is either the Sim card has problem or the Sim tray of the phone is bad and will need tobe replaced.

To confirm, Take the Sim card and insert it into another phone, If it still says insert Sim, that means the Sim card is bad, But if the Sim card works with another phone, That means the Sim tray of the phone is damaged.

Sim tray is located on the phone where you insert your Sim card in on the phone to make sure the Sim works with the phone.

Have a nice day.

I have a 2001 boxster and could not get the phone to work,
it would not get past insert sim massage.
I have a o2 card stuck in any old credit card size card sim holder ie new cards come like this before you pop your sim out to fit in a phone.. all it was to get it to work was the eject button above the sim slot had not come fully out when sim was inserted got my nail under it and pulled it out further while sim inserted ha presto it now works fine with the o2 card pay as u go hope this helps any one

Obviously your sim card reader is bad or the metal clasp that holds your sim card firmly against the reader is warped. This would prevent the phone from reading your sim

That means that your sim card is either not capable with this phone or that the sim card is broken.

One question: when did you get the phone?

Is this a new phone? If so check that you've inserted the SIM correctly and it's not SIMlocked to another network

If it's worked before remove the SIM and GENTLY clean the contacts on the phone and the SIM with a pencil eraser.

Sounds like phone is locked or firmware is bad

You have most likely already checked this, but just in case.....make sure the sim card is full inserted, and inserted in the correct position. (There should be a diagram showing which way to insert the card.

Hope this helps.

yeh it seems that ur sim card is no more working. it happens sometimes instantly. u have to use a duplicate sim of the same #. if u want to keep this #.

You have to insert the smart card all the way in on these phones. You can use a pen cap or something to push it all the way in there until it goes all the way in and click and stays there. Then it will not say " insert smart chip" anymore.
