"No Sim Card - Emergency calls only" error

[AC Question]

Hello there,

My phone is showing me some error message that says that I have no sim card and that I can only make emergency calls. It also shows a "no sim card" sign in the notification bar.

It happens many times per day... but sometimes not at all. My phone runs on Android 5.1.1 and my provider is Fido.

Thanks for helping

Welcome to the forums!

That sounds like your phone is not reading your SIM card all the time. That could be you need a new SIM card or it could be an issue with the card reader. The first thing I would try is getting a new SIM card.
