Common Samsung S25 SIM Card Problems

Before troubleshooting, it helps to identify the exact symptom. Typical issues include:

  • “No SIM Card” or “SIM Not Inserted” error message

  • SIM card not detected after a software update

  • Frequent signal drops or weak reception

  • SIM card tray not fitting securely

  • Mobile data not working despite an active plan

Each problem can have different causes, such as physical damage, software glitches, or incorrect network settings.


Step 1: Restart Your Device

Start with a basic reboot. Restarting your Galaxy S25 refreshes the system and often resolves temporary connection glitches.

  1. Press and hold the Side Key and Volume Down button.

  2. Tap Restart.

  3. Wait until the device powers back on, then check if the SIM card is recognized.


Step 2: Check the SIM Card and Tray

Remove and inspect both the SIM card and tray:

  1. Power off the phone.

  2. Insert the SIM ejector tool into the small hole beside the tray.

  3. Gently pull out the tray and examine it for dust, moisture, or bends.

  4. Wipe the SIM card contacts with a soft, dry cloth.

  5. Reinsert the SIM card properly, aligning the cut corner correctly.

A damaged or loose tray can cause intermittent detection problems. If the tray feels weak, OnePlus recommends replacing it with an original Samsung part.


Step 3: Toggle Airplane Mode

Airplane Mode resets your device’s radio connections.

  1. Swipe down to open the Quick Panel.

  2. Turn on Airplane Mode for about 20 seconds.

  3. Turn it off again and wait for the SIM network to reconnect.


Step 4: Re-Select Network Operator

Sometimes the device fails to auto-connect to the right carrier:

  1. Go to SettingsConnectionsMobile NetworksNetwork Operators.

  2. Turn off Select Automatically and choose your carrier manually.

  3. Wait a few seconds, then restore Select Automatically if desired.


Step 5: Clear Cache and Reset Network Settings

Corrupted network data can trigger SIM errors.

  1. Open SettingsGeneral ManagementReset.

  2. Tap Reset Network Settings.

  3. Confirm your choice.

This resets Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile network configurations without deleting personal data.


Step 6: Update Software and Carrier Settings

Samsung frequently releases patches that address connectivity bugs.

  • Go to SettingsSoftware UpdateDownload and Install.

  • If prompted, update Carrier Settings as well.

Always keep your phone updated to ensure compatibility with the latest network standards.


Step 7: Test with Another SIM Card

Insert another working SIM card to determine if the issue lies with the phone or the SIM itself.

  • If the new card works, replace your original SIM.

  • If the new card fails too, contact Samsung Support or visit an authorized service center.


Extra Tips from OnePlus

  • Avoid cutting SIM cards manually; use the proper size (nano SIM).

  • Keep the SIM slot dry and clean.

  • Handle the tray gently — forcing it can damage the slot pins.

  • Use only verified carrier SIM cards.


Final Thoughts

Most Samsung S25 SIM card issues can be fixed with simple checks and software adjustments. By following OnePlus’ step-by-step guide, you can restore full connectivity and prevent recurring network interruptions. If the problem persists, professional inspection from an authorized Samsung center ensures your SIM tray and internal connectors remain in perfect condition for long-term reliability.
