Hi, I just had the same problem with my new G4 phone. I had the phone too close to the desk lamp and the phone got overheated.after re positioning the phone to a cooler spot on the desk– it works fine now, with the installed sim card. Didn’t even turn the phone off, either.
Thanks for the advice.

Thank You Longstrider. I wouldn’t have thought of that but that was exactly the fix i required. My expensive ‘brick mp3 player’ has now become a phone again.

Just got the same message and i too think the phone has killed the sim card. it was struggling to get a signal in the corner of the house, and poof!, no sim for my important webex conference call. i was able to still use skype so all was not lost. carrier sending me a new sim tomorrow – i will be back to share my iphone experience.

I had the same problem. Took apart the phone and it turns out that there is a minute microswitch at the bottom of the sim card slot that detects if the simcard holder is in. I just added a small bit of pvc tape to the bottom of the sim card holder to help activate the switch and hey presto it has worked ever since

i had the same problem, instead of putting it into a new phone i wiped my finger across the sim card and blew into the sim card slot. idk which did it but it worked (Y)

Strange thing. My SIM card failure occurred when I was in a place where the signal bar level was extremely low and cutting in and out. It almost seems like the fact that the phone was struggling so hard to get a signal fried the SIM card.

I don’t have an old SIM to put in my iPhone, so I guess I’ll have to go to my carrier to see if a new SIM card will work.

I agree…..I have had an iPhone for two years with no trouble. We purchased a house to fix up in an area I do drive by BUT do not stay. When I am at the fix up house for a period of several hours my phone said no sim card. I drive away and reboot the phone (not a cold reboot) and it is fine! It has happened ALMOST every time I am at that house for a few hours!
