[Q] Cannot insert sim card - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have the following problem. I cut the card, insert it, then of course it stuck and I remove it with the tape.Then somehow spring jammed the slot and I cannot enter sim card again (very good design by the way
Is there any trick to fixed it or I should already send my brand new phone to repair?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Anyone? Can I just remove that spring from sim slot? If so do you know how?

Take it to repair-shop and say that it was broken when you got it.
This is wrong section for this btw.

Repair SIM holder, no longer attached to phone...anybody?

Can anyone repair a broken SIM card slot? I somehow broke my slot when removing my simcard.
Take it to ATT or call Samsung. It's gotta still be under warranty.

Sim error invalid sim issue

Hi anyone experienced this?
I experienced this when I tried to remove my sim but the sim got stuck and I had to use some force.
Now it won't read sim anymore come up with sim error and sim card invalid. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
What should I do surely it's defective ? I applied bit of force not enough to break it or damage it.
You could try if it accepts someone else's SIM card and check if it accepts that card. And you could try your SIM card in another phone. But from the looks of it it does look like you did break the SIM or the SIM slot. It is possible that the card getting stuck actually was getting stuck on one of the pins and it might be out of place now.
If it is actually a defect in the phone I fear you will have to take it to a shop to get it repaired.
In the end returned it and bought Note 2 LTE. Good move glad I did it.

I had the same issue and took the phone back to Rogers. They replaced it for me with a brand new one.

RAZR Maxx sim card falls out

I have the maxx, and for the last few months my sim card pops itself out of its holder, and my phone flips out and looses signal and says no sim card inserted. It has gotten so bad that I have to keep an otter box case on it to hold the sim door shut. I am rooted and rom'md, and I bought it last June so I do not know what my options/fixes are. Has anyone had this problem before? Should I just unroot/return to stock and try to get a new maxx? I do not have the money for a new phone and my upgrade is late this year...opinions? Thanks guys.

Just replace it if it's on a warranty. It's a mechanical problem, it shouldn't be a problem even if you return it rooted or with a custom rom. (depending on the terms of the warranty and where you live)
Have you stuck someone elses Sim card in and seen if it stays? It should lock in like the sd card, so i would check with a different Sim card first, maybe your cards tab is worn out.

I guess I'll call *611 tonight and see if I can send it in for a replacement, I would like to start on a fresh phone anyways. Thanks guys, I was thinking super glue the sim card in there but then I thought again...

Sim stuck in the sim tray of my Omate

Hey I put the sim correctly, I can use the sim to call and browse the web (Data - 3G),
but one problem.. I can't get the sim out! It's stuck way inside
Does anyone know how I get it out??

Sim recovered! it seems like the screwdriver that came with the omate is total junk, since it almost destroyed the head of the screws... had to go to a watchmaker to help out taking those screws out.
So, you had to take the back off to get the sim out ?
I hope you replaced the screws with the spares, as they are a little better quality.

Yup, i had to remove the back plate and the underline back plate (disconnect camera, battery...etc) just to get to the sim tray and push out with a small screw drive the sim out...
I'll replace the screws later, had to save the sim first
The screwdriver is a piece of crap. Destroyed itself on the sim screws. I had to use a different one.
The sim installation is not clear, I agree. It is on a push button spring - click it in with a screw driver and it will release, then use tweezers to pull it out

Me, too
I broke my SIM card reader, too. Stupid mistake, I should know better. I could get a replacement reader, but I don't have the skill to replace it myself and I don't know who I could send it to to get it done. I miss my Ultra.
