A SIM card is the main element, without which, in principle, a mobile phone itself is not needed: without it, calls, sending and receiving SMS messages, and “gatherings” on the Internet are not available. However, buying such a mini-card is not enough for a pleasant use of a smartphone. Although rare, there are cases when the SIM card fails. Moreover, it is not known whether this is happening because of the phone itself, or the SIM is the culprit. Which is obvious - there is a problem, because it was not in vain that the phone highlighted the inscription: "Error registering the SIM card." What to do when such a situation arises? This article will serve as the answer.
What to do?
Simka fails at the most unnecessary moment. What is the fastest way to fix the situation? What to do in such cases? Perhaps the following instruction will help solve the problem:
First you need to open the cover of the phone, inspect the SIM card for the correct location in the slot. Most likely, the card is simply installed incorrectly or slightly shifted: as a result, an error occurs. If the design of the phone implies the installation of a SIM card underbattery, and not in a special slot nearby, then, perhaps, the contacts of the SIM receiver and the SIM card itself simply do not touch. To solve the problem, you should fold a sheet of plain paper in several layers and place such a blank between the SIM card and the battery, and then assemble the phone. It is possible that pressing the SIM card with paper will allow contact between the parts to be established, and the SIM card will start working again
- Problem not solved? Should go further! The next step is to inspect the SIM card and receiver for any contamination. Perhaps contact between them cannot be established only because of some stains, blots. If this is really the reason, then a regular eraser will correct the situation. They need to gently wipe the visible contacts. After that, it remains only to install the "fillings" of the phone in place and check the SIM card for performance.
- And it didn't help? We need to move on! So, you can try to pull out the SIM card and bend it a little so that the side with the contact is convex. Perhaps this method will become a "circle of salvation."
- If all these actions did not work, you can try installing another card in your phone. Better than any other carrier. If it works, then the whole problem is in the previously installed SIM card. Otherwise, the reason must be sought in the phone itself.
The culprit of the problem is the phone
To help solve the problem with registering a SIM card as soon as possible, you should consider the main reasons that contribute tophone error:
- Some phone models are made customized for the cards of certain telecom operators. This means that attempts to install the SIM card of their competitors will be in vain.
- Often there are errors in phones with two SIM cards. So, in some models, one SIM card may refuse to register when another one is working. To check if this is really the reason, you should insert the questionable card in turn into both slots.
- Various mechanical and physical damage to the smartphone itself can also affect the performance of the SIM card in the phone. So, for example, the ingress of water or steam into the device can cause contact failure due to its oxidation. You can try to solve the problem yourself by disassembling the fillings of the phone and wiping them thoroughly. The problem is not solved? You should contact the service center for help.
It should be noted that the phone may not immediately start to "fail" due to a fall or moisture ingress. Initially, it can function quite normally and only later begin to act up. Therefore, if an error occurs when registering a SIM card, you should remember if he had to fall or swim recently? Perhaps the reason is precisely in such troubles.
The culprit of the problem is Simka
Next, you should consider the reasons for the failure of the SIM card to function when it is directly to blame. There are several of them:
- Expired. Some operators forLong-term non-use of the SIM card simply blocks it. As a result, it turns into a useless piece of plastic. Refusal to provide services may follow from the operator and due to a sufficiently long balance at a negative level.
- Sim card just bought? Perhaps the reason is simply its incorrect activation. In this case, you should contact the seller for help.
- Many modern smartphones only allow mini-cards to be installed. Some of their owners, deciding to save money and time, cut the SIM card on their own. If this is done incorrectly, then an error in registration is to be expected. Solution to the problem: buying a new card!
