I have an Att Samsung i917 and I keep getting a sim error. I have tried new sims and other peoples sims. Some times I will not get a sim card error but then it will not find any networks? Any Ideas?
Make sure your SIM is inserted properly. I was having the this problem with my Focus earlier.

Hi all,
I have my primary phone which is an international SGSII and I have my Infuse as my secondary phone.
I experienced random reboots on my SGSII which I couldnt seem to explain and I started using my Infuse for a while now and it has now started to randomly reboot which it only has started doing since I put my sim card in it and had NEVER done it with no sim card in it so... Can these issues be being caused by a bad sim card?
The card itself is a bit old...
Please advise...
Anything's possible i guess, if you didn't change anything else or install any software on both that might have caused i would assume it would be the sim card.
Try one or the other for a day without the sim card and the other with sim card and see what happens. Then switch and re-test.
Interested in knowing if it's the sim card or not, as a last resort you could just buy a new sim card from an AT&T store.

Thanks for the response... I have switched out the cards again to see what is going to happen.
And just so you know... I'm in Canada on the Rogers network... not with AT&T...

Very possible since Samsung has implemented (since the Galaxy Tab 7" i think) a little "feature" where it forces your phone to reboot when it cant see the SIM. Its possible that the SIM is loosing contact and forcing a reboot. Hard to be sure though.
Hi, I have the sim unlock code for my phone but when i put a different sim is not asking for the code, I tried all methods that i found on internet with not luck.

I think Verizon phones come unlocked. does it take the other sim? or is it giving you an error?
It say that the sim card is not a verizon sim card

Hey, I know this post was a year ago but I really need help getting a Verizon Galaxy S6 working on T-Mobile. I tried popping in the SIM and setting the APN but nothing is working. What APN are you using? The S6 is on 6.0.1 Marshmallow, please help!!!

Woke up the other day and my AT&T s6 randomly got this issue. I am using my cricket sim card on this smg900a. Tried another cricket sim and it also did not work. It is not my sim either as im currently using it on another phone. Also does not appear to be a hardware issue as it detects when i insert or remove the sim. Just says No SIM, Emergency calls only. Please help anybody.
Perhaps some faulty SIM cards? Try one from another operator. Also AT&T phones usely works only with AT&T SIM cards if I'm correct.

Cricket is an at&t sub carrier. All at&t phones work on cricket actually, ive been using at&t phones on their service for quite a while now.
Try to contact the carrier and see what they suggest.

Well all they tried was put in a new sim card which did not work.. said it was the phone. But i believe it might be software related.

I can see several more people have same issue, including myself, but I tampered service mode and EFS folder, so I guess there could be a problem.
Unfortunately dont have original EFS folder backup, or warranty, as I am not the first owner of the phone.

Yep i gotta use a cheap phone meanwhile -.- this sucks.
My phone tells me "invalid sim" when I insert any sim other than Sprint. I don't get an option to insert an unlock code. I feel this is all software related as multiple have reported the phone is the same hardware wise on every carrier.
What was the first sim you installed if I may ask?

AT&T
Apparently there is an unlock folder in the developer menu.

That's for the bootloader
When you put that AT&T sim it locked to AT&T

That's the best part, it's still locked to Sprint. Even with AT&T sim inserted first and completely reset to retry it. Still only accepts Sprint cards.
Was anyone able to figure out OP's question? I have the same problem too. I have a Sprint Galaxy S7 Edge and I'm trying to unlock it with a T-Mobile sim card, but I don't get the unlock code entry screen. I just get an invalid SIM card message. Where can I enter the unlock code? Thanks.

Hello, I am encountering the same issue. Please help? TIA
You either need to contact Sprint and have them send out a Profile Update to your phone to get it network unlocked or use a 3rd party service
Same problem here. Any solution? How to make my phone ask for an unlock code?

All, read this thread here. Looks like you can just call Sprint and get it handled or dish out some $$$, but I wouldn't recommend that.

hello everyone. i have a samsung galaxy s7 edge from sprint. it has the glass crack a little bit but it was working perfectly and i didnt wet it or had it where it was humid. the thing is that it started saying "searching for service". customer service wasn't able to help, they gave me a new sim card but it stays on " Activating Hand Free" when i insert the sim card. any ideas? i even did a hard reset too but nothing. [email protected] if anyone can help
i took pics and video of what happens.
I am facing a really weird issue.
Brief:
My phone will either work with sim A but when I insert my second sim both of them get undetected.
Story :
I have a 48 sim and an Airtel network sim. One day my phone hanged and restarted from then it isn't detecting sim and sim manager behaves weirdly.
But If I take the second sim out phone detects my first sim. But won't detect if I just let the second sim in or both sim in.
I have attached the screenshot of Sim manager when both Sims are inserted.
It is recommended to go to your carrier's customer service center and ask them to check or change the second SIM for you.

Thank you for replying James.
The issue is that when I put both sim then none of them get recognised.

As James said above, i would also try and get a replacement SIM card.
I had a similar issue with my Note8 that my SIM would randomly stop working, after a few months of trying different things on the phone (including factory reset) i replaced the SIM with a new one (being the first replacement it was free on my carrier), after that i never had any more issues.
