But the tape goes on the back of your SIM card? It shouldn't touch or damage the phone at all.
I had the issue many times a day before. It was really getting out of hand to the point I felt lucky if I unlocked my phone without a sim error. Added two pieces of scotch tape on the back of my sim card and haven't had a single error for a week now.
Replaced SIM and then phone. Now having another replacement phone shipped out. Not messing with tape or any crap, if it keeps happening I'll move on to something different.
It literally takes 5 seconds. Beats the **** out of contacting customer support and getting replacements and constantly resetting your phone!
Having issue on my 8x as well. Called TMo, and they have the issue on record with others calling in. They stated it was software related.Hi all,
I just turned Airplane Mode off on my phone and got an invalid SIM error (I don't recall the exact error, but suffice to say it wouldn't connect to the cell network). A reboot fixed it, although it showed the "No SIM" icon briefly upon starting up. Not sure if that's normal or not. Now it's working normally.
Has this issue happened to anyone else? Today's my last day to exchange the phone, so I'm going back and forth on it. Thanks in advance!
