SIM Card & eSIM
I already purchased new Tune Talk SIM, but the status is under grace period (Not active). Can I proceed with SIM replacement?
No.
To do a SIM replacement, the new SIM card must be under active status.
My phone keeps getting “Insert SIM”, “SIM card rejected or not found”, “SIM failure” error messages when my SIM is already inserted into the phone. What does it mean?
These error messages could imply a damaged SIM. However, you can try to troubleshoot as below.
- Try checking for physical damages on the SIM card
- Try removing the SIM card from your phone and reinserting it
- Try the SIM on a different phone and see if you still get the same error messages
If the error messages still appear, it is time to replace your old SIM.
