Check to see if the SIM tray is bent. Straighten it out if bent and reseat the SIM.

@Hudsonpara - googled some stuff, does this help?

Clearing your Android's cache to try to fix the no SIM card error is extremely simple.

Go to “Settings -> Storage -> Clear Data.”

When you tap on cached data, you'll get a pop-up telling you that this is going to clear the cache for all the apps on your device.

Just tap on “Delete” to go through with it.

If you receive an alert that says Invalid SIM or No SIM Card installed, follow these steps. 

Make sure you have an active plan with your wireless network provider.

Did you activate a Public Mobile SIM card and choose a plan and paid for it?

You can activate here: https://publicmobile.ca/en/on/portal/activation

Restart your iPhone or iPad.

Check for a network provider settings update.

Have you just signed up? What make and model is the phone? What recording do get when you call 1-855-4pu-blic from another phone and enter your number? Did you possibly recently deal with a credit card problem?

@Hudsonpara 

did you try to re-seat the sim?  (power down the phone, take sim out for a minute and then firmly put it back and power up)

And is this a new activation?  if so, it could be a sim provisioning issue.  Open ticket with PM Support and it is an easy fix for them.

if you have been PM customer for some time and have been without without issue till now, it could also be a faulty sim.  But try this, put your PM SIM in another phone and see if it works.  This can trigger a re-provision of the sim and it might resolve your issue
