Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Network.

By default, Automatic is selected. Turn off the Automatic option Then select a different network to the one your on then once its searched for it select your network see if that helps

Hi @LeonieSykes

Thanks for coming here.

Could you try the SIM card in another phone to see if this works?

A "No SIM card" error can be frustrating, but it's often a simple fix. Here are some steps to get your iPhone recognizing your SIM card again:-

1. Check the SIM card:-

Reseat the SIM:- This is a common fix. Eject the SIM card tray, make sure the SIM card is clean and undamaged, and reinsert it firmly.
Use another SIM card (if possible):- Borrow a SIM card from another phone (same size as yours) and see if your iPhone recognizes it. If it does, your original SIM card might be faulty.

2. Restart your iPhone:- A simple restart can often resolve software glitches.

3. Turn Airplane Mode on and off:- This can sometimes refresh the connection between your iPhone and the cellular network.

4. Check for updates:-

Carrier Settings Update:- Go to Settings > General > About. If an update is available, you'll see a prompt to install it.
iOS Update:- Outdated software can cause issues. Check for updates in Settings > General > Software Update.

5. Verify your account status:- Make sure your phone plan with your carrier is active and there are no outstanding payments.

6. Reset Network Settings (last resort):- This will erase all your Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth connections, and VPN settings. Only do this if the above steps fail. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

If problem persist after trying these step, follow for more effective information below.
