Hi ​@Heaton909

 

I do apologise that you are facing this issue. Can you please confirm if the SIM works in a different handset and only not on the new handset?

Hi. I’ve updated my mobile from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 13 because I want to upgrade to 5g. When I put the sim into the new phone it didn’t work, a friend put their sim into my new phone and it worked so for the time being, I put my sim back into my old phone but it doesn’t work in that one either now and I need my phone for my business, can you help?
