- If possible, test another SIM card or your SIM card in a second device to narrow down the error.

Why "phone shows no network / SIM card not recognized" needs professional help
If your smartphone permanently cannot find a network or does not recognize the SIM card, there may be more behind it than just a minor settings error. Often, SIM readers, antenna modules, baseband chips, contact pins, iOS or Android software, network operator profiles, or moisture damage are affected. Self-attempts with needles, wrong tools, or unsuitable SIM adapters can further damage the SIM card reader and make the repair more complex.
- The phone permanently displays "No network," "Searching," or "Emergency calls only."
- The message "No SIM card installed" appears, even though the SIM is inserted correctly.
- Mobile data no longer works, although Wi-Fi works without problems.
- After a fall, water contact, or update, the device no longer reliably recognizes the SIM card.
