You have to go to settings>security and scroll down and press disable sim lock.

Hi. Once every few hours, my phone will suddenly lose connection for a few seconds and say "Invalid sim card", then it will connect again. It gets really annoying, especially when I'm in the middle of a conversation. Is there a fix for this?
I have this too as well as saying sim card not installed

If you used a sim cutter to cut your sim to microsim ... it may of not been done properly
If not... try cleaning the sim contact points on both sim card and simcard tray
Hope that helps

I heard abt sim card issue on some russian forum.
Its somethig you cant know exacly till you try. I mean one sim card works well, another - not. Even of same carrier.
Its about specifications of sim.
For now is only one solution is to contact your gsm operator and ask for an available sim cards and try one by one.
Had that when I bought the Razr from the Verizon store. I reset to factory and reentered my Gmail and fine ever since.
Something had not setup right the first time.

For GSM users upgrading radio will solve the issue, just take a look at developer section & find a thread : upgrading radio, radio 85P is recommended

Many thanks. it works after upgrade the radio
I have this problem now, **** this **** ****ing whore I need my phone tommorow and now the sim will not be recognized. I am on stock 2.3.6 wtf should I do?
Does this work on Rogers Razr? Mine is randomly doing this and sometimes i turn the Airplane mode and it gets fixed or restarts. So the most viable solution would be to restart the phone... After that, it's all good again. Wondering if upgrading the radio will fix this entirely.

Hey peeps, i have a problem with an HTC Amaze in here thats not recognizing the sim card. It shows the imei and all that. Radio seems to be fine but then again when it turns on it will not recognize the tmo or any other sim card. Its running 4.0.3 ICS but thats about all i know. It had never been open before i did. Inside everything looks ok. But i know that doesnt mean everything is ok. Could it be the sim card holder? I have already checked the pins that make contact with the sim card and they look fine. Hardware? Software? Any advice?

I only say this because i made the mistake of putting the sim card upside down. All my previous phones were the opposite. lol
Lol! very funny story but this is not the case ha ha... So any other advice will be appreciated. If i find out ill let the forum know what i did...
That happened to my first Amaze. It fixed itself the next day, but another problem popped up. Unfortunately, I had to trade it in and get a new one. Hopefully, everything will work out for you.
Had to use a new sim card when I got the Amaze a couple of weeks ago. It wouldn't recognize the card I been using for for year.

this. i would think you need a new sim card. the imei has zilch to do with the sim
i had to get a new replacement for my phone, kept resetting it and everything flashing new roms, radio would work then go out, got a new phone works great again.

What sim card are you using? Maybe the card is incompatible. Any T mobile store should new able to help you with that.

Hello all,
I have had the no SIM issue on AT&T lately. Does anybody know how to fix this? Is it as simple as flashing a ROM or replacing SIM card or replacing the phone? I'm rooted on Hasoons Senseless QX 2.0.0. Since its basically modified stock it doesn't count as ROM change hence no fix.
Thanks,
Irish

I wish I had something else to say other than a me too, but I've been seeing it a lot myself recently. Everything I've read says that I should reseat my sim card. So I'm going to try that tonight. My local AT&T store told me that I should also reset the phone to factory defaults to solve it. Implying that some app I installed caused it.
Since I haven't rooted the phone yet, I'd be surprised if any app I installed caused it.

resetting the SIM card isn't a permanent fix, only permanent fix is put a little peice of paper between the SIM Card and the SIM tray to remove the slack and sim issue.

interesting. I'll give that a try. That brings up an interesting question though. If it's because the SIM card is physically loose, why does toggling Airplane mode fix it for me ?
The only thing that makes sense is that the SIM card comes loose, the system detects it and then puts up the message, but never checks to see if it came back.
Still, very interesting.
wow i hope that doesnt happen to me, sounds a bit worrying

yes your right that is what happening it doesn't reset itself. HTC is going to need to make some new sim card trays for everyone
Update: resteating the SIM fixed it for now

As the title says I tried to reprogram my phone to see if it might pick up new towers with *228 while on an AOSP rom, the message said it was unable to program the phone and now it will only connect with 3G. I figured I could flash a TW rom and reprogram it there, however the TW just pops up a quick message saying the SIM is programmed without actually placing a call.
Is there any way to restore LTE once lost in this fashion? I've googled but couldnt find anything, I even reverted to stock in Odin hoping it would reprogram at boot but it did not solve anything.

You're never supposed to dial *228 from a LTE phone, it screws up your SIM card. The only way I have seen the problem fixed is to get a new SIM card by either going to a store or calling 611 and getting them to send it to you.
The correct way to force it to update, instead of calling *228, is to power down the phone, pull the SIM out, power on the phone, let it sit for 5 minutes, power it off and reinsert the SIM, and boot back up. Thats what works now with LTE SIMs.
I dont know if your SIM can be fixed or you will have to get a new one before LTE will work again but every time I have seen this happen the person always had to replace the SIM.

As stated above, you never use the *228 function to update an LTE device. A new sim is the solution.
Thanks guys, replacement sim is on its way.

I take it you mean a completely new SIM card, if the SIM card has already been used (like in your old phone) and you want to use it then just insert it into the phone. If its a SIM card thats already been used and you want to switch it to a new num ber you're **** out of luck. VZW only activates each SIM once and cannot, or will not, switch it to a different number.
If it is a completely new SIM card the call VZW and tell them you need to activate a new SIM and give them the info they need, which is usually just the number on the SIM card, and once they finish with it just pop it in your phone.

I have a Verizon lg g3 I flashed the latest lollipop from Verizon after kdzing to stock. I run a T-Mobile sim. I reset the APN because I was having text failures. I then lost all service. My cell no longer picks up any service. The sim registers but that's it. Its constantly in a no service state. I kdz again back to stock still no service. What can I do? The sim was checked its fully functional...

look in settings about phone and see if your imie is all zeroes.
No, it shows my imei and all my info. I installed a sim card reader app and all the info shows up as well. I really don't know what to do??

im hardly a sim expert, but just because you can see your info, may not mean its not toast.
flashing can and has, many times, fried sims. i would get a new one, then go from there.
