So, I have a OnePlus 6 and when I got it first, I use my Meteor card so I had to cut it to make it smaller and now I bought a micro SIM card from Meteor 'Eir' but my phone can't read it or something since I can't call people and it says I can only make emergency calls.
Please help.
May be silly question but do you need to activate the sim first, have you tried it in another slot?
You need a nano SIM for the OP6. If you got a micro SIM and cut it down but it won't read it, you probably cut it incorrectly.
Does the phone detect the SIM at all?
But yes, as Geoff pointed out, if you did cut the SIM chances are you damaged it. Better get a nano card instead.

Hi,
My Samsung Galaxy S I9000M (Canadian version, but pretty much same as I9000) all of a certain won't recognize the SIM card.
I've read pretty much every post here and on google wrt SIM card not being recognized, tried factory reset, flashed many different ROMs/modems and no luck.
I'm suspicious that the SIM card slot is damaged, as other SIM cards were also not recognized by the phone. Its possible, since I use a micro SIM card adaptor to fit in a micro SIM card into the regular sized slot.
Before I take it to a store, I'd like to ask one of you kind souls to compare the pic of my SIM card slot to your phone and see if there is a gold pin in the middle thats missing on my phone. I see 5 gold pins with no gold pin in the middle at the top of the slot -- should there be one there? (i.e. should there be six pins?)
Thank you so much in advance. I've spend over a week on this so far.
Just to update in case anyone else had the same question:
Yes, there was a pin missing, and the whole SIM card tray had to be replaced.
I have searched the forums and found one thing close but not actually this so I'll ask.
Lets say I have two phones. One uses a micro sim and the other a mini sim. Can I insert both with the same number and use them one by one (use one then turn wireless communications off, and turn the other one on)?
I read that if the network sees two IMEIs on the same number it will disable the actual card.
I also read that if you request a new SIM the old one becomes useless when the new one is actually registered but, there is a way to have "SIM swapping" with two cards. So back to my question with the inserting both, can I request a new card (I have a micro sim now and need a mini sim) and safely use it for "SIM swapping" (having both sims in a phone at the same time.) without disabling the old card.
Sorry if that didn't make sense.
Thanks for any help
Can anyone explain to me why my cell phones only detect and show that a sim is inserted for certain sim cards? For example, my S3 is able to detect a Koodo micro sim, but when I put in a Fido micro sim, it will not detect it and say no sim card inserted. Same goes for my spare dual sim phone. Any reasons why?

This could happen because your phone might be locked to a particular carrier. Search your device forum for help on unlocking.
Anyone managed to use the second SIM slot?
I use the second sim all the time. I travel quite a bit so I buy pay as you go sims and put them in the second slot. Then I switch 4G/data to the second slot, leaving my calls from my primary.
HI,
I bought my son A53 in best buy in the United States
my phone version is SM-A536U1/DS I was told the phone is unlocked
I am in Israel now and everything was fine for 5 months and I had no problems
but in the last week the phone cant find my SIM card and I get a message saying
Insert SIM Card and my phone cant find the SIM
What Can I do to fix this Problem?
well either there is hardware fault or maybe the sim cannot be read.
i suggest try cleaning the sim first with a soft sponge or q-tip. If the problem persists try blowing compressed air in the sim slot. If that doesnt work either try your sim in some other working phone. If it works then your phone is faulty.
