    Hi

    I have an iPhone 6s and on Saturday night phone was working perfect. When I got up Sunday phone said sim issue. The phone says invalid sim at the top. I got a replacement sim yesterday from three and activated it and still saying invalid sim. I have tried turning airplane mode on and off tried turning phone on and off I went into settings reset everything then reset all network settings. Anything else I can try? Is it going to be needed to be left in somewhere and will it be expensive?

    Did you buy the phone new or second hand?

    I have a tonne of iPhones (5s/6) that are the same way in work. They are currently going off for repair so to me its the sim slot is just slightly warped or something so the sim isnt making contact.

    If I get a sim from another provider what will the phone say?
