iPhone 11 Pro ‘No SIM inserted’ problem

[JemTheWire]

Hi, not sure if anyone could offer me any advice as to,why to do.

Today, out of the blue, my iPhone 11 Pro Max reported no SIM card inserted. I have never taken it out since I inserted it when I got the phone.

The phone was new bought by me directly from Apple November 4th 2019.

I power cycled the phone and it worked again until tonight when I got the message again and obviously the cellular signal metre showed no bars.

This time I took out the SIM, cleaned it, and put it back. It’s working again now.

I have never had this message on any iPhone before and just wonder if it could be a hardware issue.
I baby my iPhone, it’s always been in a full case from new and never been dropped. It’s like new.

Have you heard of this happening before? Could it be an iOS problem?

I am rocking iOS v13.5.1

I do have Apple Care+

Get a new SIM card from your provider.

Yep, just stop in provider’s store, tell em the issue and they swap the SIM out. Should be no hassle and no charge.

Yes, I’d definitely recommend you getting a new SIM card from your provider. That usually fixes the issue.

Thank you all for your replies.

Thankfully, here in the UK, my provider O2, had started to open their shops from 15th June so I have a fighting chance of getting one.

Thanks for your advice.

Sorry to dig up and old thread. I’m just curious if a new sim fixed the problem? My Pro Max has been doing the same for a few months now and it seems to be getting worse. It used to be once a month but recently it’s done it as much as 3 times in 48 hours!

Replacing the SIM is a no cost/low cost resolution to the problem. It won't cost you much, if anything to do. And if it's not the SIM, you aren't out much money, if any at all - and have eliminated the SIM as the problem.

SIM cards go bad all the time. It's a miniature electronic circuit board. They do fail.
