I got the HTC inspire at&t go phone and I have a new sim card activated ready to go but it still says no sim card.
I've got the same issue with an old inspire. Won't detect any sim I put in it. It appears to be a rather common problem with this device if you hunt around a bit. Some people claim it was fixed with a software update, in my case I believe it to be hardware. Anyone been able to fix this without sending the phone to HTC?

I bought a cheap ATT Go Phone for the SIM card for my iPhone. I've activated the phone and the SIM card but the crappy phone keeps saying SIM CRASH, and nothing beyond that. I put the SIM into the iphone and it just says "searching" in the area for the signal strength. Do I need to call ATT about this one

Just like most companies, AT&T provides specific SIM cards for their specific services...hence the Go Phone card not working the way you want it.
Get a card from AT&T for your IPhone.
Cheers,
I know this thread is quite old but I have the same issue when I insert my sim card in the gophone in came with or any other phone I tried an unlocked iphone 3G and an unlocked HTC HD7. The most surprising part is that my HTC Desire doesn't seem to have any problem with this card.
I would really liked to get it to work on my HD7 but I had no luck.
Anyone else experience issues with swapping their SIM from their old phone into the G2X? I have reseated mine from my N1 into the phone 3 times, and each time I boot it says I have no SIM card. Pulling my hair out!
I went from an N1 to the g2x and i had the same problem so here is the deal...
the g2x is a 4g phone and it required a new sim card version so i had to trade in the sim card that i have had since my i got my razr in 2005...
so disclaimer to anyone who buys the phone outright, you have to have an updated sim card... just go into tmobile and they will give you one...
mines wont check for sim card at all it keep saying no service even without a sim card it usually say no sim but it just say no service can someone help plz plz plz
Fyi make sure it is a corporate store. Otherwise it could cost ya $20. Customer care might even be able to mail you one...not sure. If your near Chicago I would just give you one of my extras.

I reused the sim from my N1 and have had no issues but it was probably a newer version sim since I just got it beginning of last year.
If you have an old T-Mobile phone lying around, try inserting your SIM into that, and using it, then re-insert it into your G2X.
Alright I opened it up and it looked like the antenna cable was a bit frayed near the tip, I attached a few pics. It was connected though so not sure :/

I have the same issue.
Mint condition G2X does not detect my sim card reads "error while trying to connect to network"
I am running CM 7.2 I have wiped everything and reflashed still no luck.
Add one more to the pile...
I also recently began having this problem, but my device previously worked fine.
I have tried Restoring to Factory V21Y with Mar 11 Baseband
Flasing a GB Based ROM & Stock Kernel
Flashing CM9
Flashing CM10
Entering *#*#INFO#*#* Phone Info and modifying frequency band (No Go).
At one point I was able to read the Phone # from the SIM card, but couldn't get a lock on Netowkr. I can visually detect T-Mobile and ATT in Mobile Networks.
I have tried this with 4G Enabled SIM Cards and older T-Mobile SIM Cards.
I have tried Simple Mobile, Straight Talk, & ATT SIM Cards.
I have tried using None APN's, the TMo/Simple Default APN's, and Modified APN's for Straight Talk & Family Talk.
No avail.
Any ideas?
I had the same problem. A new SIM card fixed it.

I gave my friend my old G2x because she was switching from AT&T to TMobile. She went to the TMobile store and got a new SIM card and her old AT&T number transferred to it. It works on her old iPhone but when I insert the SIM card on the LG G2x , it keeps saying 'no SIM card inserted'....do i need to flash a certain baseband on it and/or setup a custom APN for it? I am on the stock ROM thats rooted...
Any help is much appreciateed
Sorry for not replying until now but I rarely visit here anymore. My G2X had a bad Sim card which a new Sim fixed. I just had to wait until the network could authorize with it.
Hey all,
I'm trying to use a foreign SIM card (a prepaid card from Taiwan Mobile), but my phone says "No SIM card in phone" on the lock screen. I'm sure my phone is rooted and I flashed Android Revolution HD 5.2.6, but the lock screen is still giving me the same message. Is this a problem with the SIM card, or my phone? I also had the same problem when I got the phone, when I upgraded with a dumbphone from AT&T to the Inspire 4G, and AT&T had to give me a new SIM card. Also, the contact size for the SIM card is smaller on my AT&T 4G SIM, so I don't know if that might be of any help. Thanks!
My first assumption would be that whatever language the card is written in, the phone isn't able to translate. But I don't even know if that's a real thing or not either. So this post was pretty much pointless in helping you understand your problem.
I'm sure someone smarter will be by soon with some insight.
*insert sig here*
Not all GSM phone services are 100% intercompatible. I don't have any idea how you would find out, but a good start might be to call a rep at Taiwan Mobile.
I notice lately I have been having sim card errors when I wake up the morning. I am having to restart the phone to get connections working. This was not a problem before is this baseband related or something?
I've had them for a long time and whenever I've talked with T-Mobile, they tell me it's a common issue with the phone.
I read about it quite a lot before getting my S. Apparently the S is kinda sensitive with sim cards.
My card, for example, didnt work at all in the S. I had to get a new one from my provider.
So, Id say you need a new sim card. I wouldnt call it an "issue with the phone", its just picky
I'm on my 5th sims from my provider. Lol it's a know issue, especially with the tmous version. At least that what the tmob tech told me

New guy here.
I recently purchased an AT&T i727 with the plan to use the bring your own phone program with straight talk. Even with the sim card activated, the phone reads "No Sim Card. Emergency Calls Only". I've used the sim card in other phones, so I know it's functional. I've rooted the phone and installed different roms, but I still get the same error. I can't edit any of the APN or network settings because it tells me I need to have a sim card inserted to do so.
I feel like I'm not super clueless at things like this, but I've done everything I know how to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Take it easy on me guys.
Thanks in advance
Sound like the phone isn't unlocked. There is a thread here on how to unlock it for free. Look in the general section.

Assuming the ST SIM is at&t SIM card , and it was working before , the problem might be somewhere around your phone , either SIM card slot , bad radio or blocked-from-network Skyrocket ... is it a craigslist phone ?
It is an AT&T compatible ST sim. I've already entered codes to unlock it and they all said the unlock was successful.
I actually purchased the phone on eBay. (I'm sure everyone will laugh upon reading that)
If the sim card works in other phones and doesn't work in your skyrocket but you have it in the correct way in the sim slot then it's gonna be your sim card slot. With ST your phone doesn't have to be unlocked for the sim card to work in it. Trust me on that I'm using my skyrocket on ST and have used about 10 different AT&T phones on ST and none of them were unlocked until I sold them. You'll need to get ahold of eBay and paypal (who you hopefully used) and try and get your money back. Otherwise you have a really expensive mp3 player.
Sorry for the bad luck but that's what it looks most like to me. I used to work for AT&T and that's the logical problem. I would say try and get a warranty for it but I doubt it still has a warranty and even if it did AT&T and Samsung wouldn't do anything about it because a problem with the sim card slot is considered physical damage. You'll just have to try and get your money back for the phone.
Just my advice and $.02
