Has anyone had a problem with your kindle hdx reading sim cards as Invalid? I had a problem and was directed to an amazon review that had a lot of people with this problem. It happened on a t-mo full size sim cut down to nano size. This sim worked in phones however.

i tested an german e+ (alditalk), a german vodafone and a german d1 card - all without any problems. LTE works as expected.
Yes, i have same issue. Tried 2 different SIM cards from Austrlian carriers .

T-Mobile Complete SIM Starter Kit - No Contract Network Connection (Universal: Standard, Mirco, Nano SIM)
This starts to happen to me as well. Uncut original nano T-mobile sim card on Thor Gapps Rom ( 13.3.2.4 ).

I bought a used Orange UK TG01, unlocked it with an unlock code, then flashed some cooked ROMs. Voice calls work perfectly, but a "Cannot connect for an unknown reason" comes out immediately when I use anything that needs a data connection. This even happens with a stock Hong Kong WM6.5 ROM.
Is my TG01 defective? I flash ROMs with SDDL+ and my microSD card is a Transcend 8GB microSDHC Class 6. The only things I haven't tried yet is using a microSD (<2GB) card and using the pin shorting method to flash ROMs instead of using SDDL+.
I'm in Hong Kong and my mobile operator is PCCW 3G. All connection settings are correct. The same settings and SIM card work with my HTC TyTN II.
Try this....
Change your sim card with your friends or your wife's. I am thinking that your phone company is the problem. I had the exact same problem with my phone here in Japan. Said something just like your message. So I swapped the sim card with the sim card in my wife's phone and boom... my phone worked perfectly. I had to call my phone company over and over and over again, then they said that they will "refresh" my phone account and it took three days. So... just try a different sim in your phone, the problem you are describing is EXACTLY the same as I experienced. No data connection, but SMS(I think.. I am not sure, it happened to me three years ago) and phone works fine.
Check it out, tell me what happened when you swap sim cards?

Luckily my operator happens to be carrying out some network upgrades which requires me to get a new SIM card from them, no phone calls needed.
I got my new 64K SIM card and bam, everything works perfectly now! The chip on the SIM card is smaller than my previous SIM card.
Guys with Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G version, please confirm if it needs normal SIM card used in phones or the smaller micro SIM ones used in iPad.
In this video review, the guy says it is micro SIM
I personally own a 10.1 3G since Jul7th, day of official release in Italy -first country in Europe- and i can confirm it has a normal SIM slot.
HTH
Edit: just reviewed the video, the guy is simply wrong. I've got exactly the same slot he's showing to camera and it's NOT a micro-sim.
Thank you very much for the confirmation
He also referred to it as a "micro SIM memory expansion slot"... Funny.
I got my new S3 yesterday. It was bought in Denmark and I live in Iceland. I keep getting a "No SIM (Insert SIM card)" error even though the SIM card is properly inserted. I've not rooted the phone.
What I've done so far to resolve the problem:
Gotten 2 new micro SIM cards that have been confirmed to be activated by my provider (SÃminn). Neither one has worked.
Updated my S3's firmware to the latest version
Made sure that the phone actually is unlocked by entering *#7465625# (it is).
Checked the region code by entering *#1234# (it's XX = Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom (Western Europe)) - Not quite sure about this one, Denmark is not listed but, as I said previously, the phone is bought in Denmark.
Tested two different SIM cards from another provider (NOVA) that worked fine. Those were both mini SIM cards that had been cut to fit an iPhone and an HTC One X, i.e. cut down to micro SIM size. They both had the older, larger, almost square contacts on them as opposed to the rectangular shape of the newer ones. The older ones, after being cut to micro SIM size, had almost no plastic borders at all.
Tested my newest micro SIM card on another phone (HTC One X) and it worked fine.
The only two options for what might be wrong I've been able to come up with are:
The micro SIM card won't work because its contacts are too small (which I find highly unlikely as it must be standardized, right?)
My provider's SIM cards are somehow blocked on my phone. Is that even possible?
Any ideas what might be wrong and how I can fix it?

That should not happen.
I'm not too sure but I think there are multiple microSim standards. The device SHOULD be able to handle them all.

The other way round would be possible; your device ID (IMEI) being blocked on the network.
However that wouldn't give you a "No SIM" but a "No Service" message since it recognizes the SIM but can't use it.

Is there a chance you could get a normal SIM-card from your provider and cut it? Should be compatible.

I'm not sure about that, I had a normal SIM card in my old phone but it had the same contacts as the micro SIM one, i.e. the rectangular ones, not the square ones. I think the square ones are obsolete or something. But if I don't sort this out by monday I'll go and check if they have some square ones. It's either that or switch providers and I really wasn't happy when I was at NOVA (the one that had the cards that worked).
No ideas? I'm getting kinda desperate
P.S. The difference between the rectangular and square ones is that the rectangular ones are 6-pin only while the square ones are 8-pin with only 6-pins connected. At least that's what I've been able to dig up.
I got it sorted.
Just wanted to make an update if people with this problem stumble upon this thread since I couldn't find any info on this on the net.
The problem was that I was getting an outdated (obsolete) SIM card from my provider, as I suspected. I went to their main shop today and got a newer one which worked.
Hi,
what size sim card is needed for motorola atrix 4G ATT phone. GSM Arena says mini Sim ? Some other site I read it takes regular sim but I think it was different carrier.
Regards,
Miten.
Mini SIM is regular SIM...
If you're still unsure (can't imagine why), it's can't be that hard to google, can it?
regular sim is mini sim
thanks for guidance. even after you clarified I googled and did not find site mentioning it clearly. It does show the pictures but does not mention so wanted to clarify.
"Uses mini SIM" is as clear as you'll get, and like I said there should be no confusion about what that means.

As said above, mini SIM is the regular SIM. Other SIM that are commonly used are micro SIM(iP****, HTC etc.) or the Nano SIM, which are smaller than the mini SIM. Though I have never seen a device which uses a SIM bigger than mini SIM (nor I have seen any SIM bigger in size than mini SIM)
Atrix uses mini SIM (25x15mm)

You're clearly too young to have seen them. SIM cards used to be the size of today's credit cards.
Mini SIM is called "mini" for a reason, just like there's a reason SIM cards are usually shipped within a plastic bracket and you have to snap it out.
EDIT: The big card in the background here is the full size SIM card, and the phone in front is the kind of phone that uses a SIM card of such size.

Hi all, a couple random questions.
I spent the extra $30 on the LTE version on the off chance it would work with my Google Fi data only sim.
question is, i don't seem to have a sim slot, this looks like a micro sd slot to me. (the spot where a sim would go doesnt have a cut-out)
Am i missing something, or did i get the wifi only version?
Part B: If this does happen to be a wifi only version, it is even worth it to me to try to get them to exchange it, would it even have worked with Project Fi?
The LTE version has a different tray for sure - the sim card goes adjacent to the SD card, basically where that extra black area is. No idea about project FI, but my LTE tablet works in Toronto Canada on LTE pretty well.
Only the LTE Version has GPS. So try to use Google Maps
Hi!
Got my LTE version today and it sure looks different. I also had a sticker behind where it shows you, how to put micro sd AND sim-card into it.
Funny thing is, I even got a SIM card from China
