Hi

When i inserted my rogers sim card it did not detected my simcard and there was a message " no service". when i looked up imei ber by pressing *#06# it only showed the letter imei but there was no number. In the setting menu also there was no imei number nor there was any netwrok detected. But when i switch on or off the phone it gives rogers logo. I called rogers and they couldnot resolve the issue. Please tell me what is wrog with the phone. Am i scammed . The phone is working properly like wifi and other stuff but no service. when i insert sim card it shows 0 bar and there is a cross over the bars. But the same sim card is working in other phones. I also tried the phone with other sim card but no luck. what could be the reason. Please help
i9300 bought from newegg.com in october of 2012
Running 4.1.2 and then rooted
I have never flashed a mod on this phone
Intro: Was using the phone and reading articles. Pressed the home key to switch between windows but the screen froze. I depressed the power button until the phone rebooted again. Phone has rebooted but now a No SIM insert SIM card message is now visible.
I have tried:
restarting the phone: No sim message still appears
removing the sim card and reinserting sim card: no Sim message still appears
Placing a thin piece of paper between sim card holder and sim (in case metal surfaces were not touching properly) : no sim message still appear
replacing sim card with another sim card from a family member's phone : no sim message still appears.
My other options are formating the phone?
Sending phone in for repairs?
any other suggestions?
Please help i take really good care of my phone. First time anything like this has happened.
I have looked at other posts but they all have some customized mod or have remedied their situation with a procedure that did not work for me.
Backup data then factory reset.

Update:
Factory reset phone via volume up+home+power key. Then selected factory reset
Phone reset but still "no sim insert sim card" error persists.
Update on sim being used:
Sim used on my phone is detected and usable on another family member's phone
Family member's sim will not work on my phone: "no sim insert sim card" error persists.
Anymore suggestions?
note:i'm leaving the country april 1st. Does anyone have idea on the time lapse of sending a phone in for repairs?
Check imei to see if it is corrupted
update:
dialed *#06#
successfully retrieved
IMEI
(15 digit number) / 01
Check with the box or phone sticker to make sure it hasn't corrupted to generic imei
IMEI identified on phone and IMEI retrieved from dialing *#06# are identical
Choice is to wipe phone and install stock rom or take to a service centre .
Possible hardware fault on the sim reader .

Might be worth getting a new SIM card

I've inserted current sim card into a family member's phone. Sim card is detected and functional.
I've replaced current sim card with a family member's sim card. "no sim insert sim card" message persists
Can we rule out software problem now?

Please confirm:
I have factory reset phone. What are you referring to by wipe?
After i successfully wipe phone
I will then proceed to reset binary
then re-install stock rom
I would do a backup then flash stock Rom again with Odin
Thanks to both of you for your concern and help
UPDATE
I am so embarassed
One thing you could do is see if any of the SIM slot pins are bent, you will need a needle/torch/magnifying glass, saw someone with similar issue recently that found his was caused by slightly bent pins, so worth a check
Embarassed
if i knew how to properly install the sim card on these new phones I wouldn't have a problem. Apparently Galaxy s3 has a locking mechanism that is confirmed from a clicking sound heard when the sim card is installed correctly. DOH!!

Ha ha.....thanks for the confession, made my day
This is what happened! I had an old t-mobile Samsung phone that I wanted to unlock, since I moved back to my country i wanted to have it as a back up phone, so I used the Sim card from my HTC Amaze to do the unlocking. Well it didn't go as planed and when i returned my SIM card back to my HTC it said " NO SIM CARD IN PHONE". Then I used different SIM to see if it will do the same and the same message!!! I did factory reset and this problem is still persisting. Can anyone help me please!
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Network: Tata Docomo
Try any other sim on POCO and check if it detects the sim. Also try your Docomo sim on other phones. If your sim is old, I'd suggest you to get a new sim in place of old one and try.
Hello
I recently got a new sim card for my dual-sim j5 prime, upon inserting my sim in the 2nd sim slot I got a 'Phone not allowed' error in my notification bar and 'network not registered' when I try to dial something with my sim. The interesting part is that the sim attached to slot 1 is completely fine and works without a problem. For this reason I tested my new sim in slot 1 and it worked perfectly.
So this seems like a problem with my sim card slot. I tried restarting but it didn't help. Can any one please help we fix this issue?
