Well, I read the other blogs on how to fix this no sim installed problem and last on my list was to drop it. I chose 3 ft onto a rug and after about 3-4 times, low and behold, that was the ticket. I know it sounds silly but, it works.

The dropping one worked for me! Thanks so much! I held the phone about a foot away from a throw rug on the kitchen floor. I dropped it on the top end then the bottom end, and the sim card message disappeared.

I tried several solutions, but the one that worked for me was dropping my phone from the sim card end and then the power cord end. Wow!

I dropped my iPhone 4 by accident on concrete! After that it said NO SIM so I just took a paperclip and opened the sim card slot and took it out and put it back in. It worked for me ! Good luck to everyone!

A quick temporary fix I do:
1. Put phone in airplane mode
2. Take out SIM card
3. Put in SIM card and immediately turn off airplane mode

Works every time! Just have to do it all the time…

Same annoying issue I had with a friends phone. He gave it to me to unlock for him. Dropping the phone didnt work for me but switching between airplane mode did work thank god!

Tried everything but nothing worked. I’m not sure if the ‘drop your phone ©’ method is a troll or not. I’ll go to the T-Mobile store tomorrow and hope for the best..
