### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

Although the **No [service error](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50445/how-to-fix-an-iphone-x-that-keeps-showing-no-service-error)** occurred after updating [your iPhone](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50411/what-to-do-if-your-iphone-x-can-t-be-detected-by-computer) to the most recent iOS version, it's still conceivable that the problem is due to a **faulty SIM card**. **Removing and reinstalling the SIM card** might help rule this out. Here's how you do it: \

1. Completely **turn off your iPhone.**
2. **Insert the SIM eject tool** or a short paperclip into the designated slot on the SIM card tray with your phone turned off to unlock it. On the right edge of your phone, you'll find the SIM tray.
3. The SIM card should be removed from the SIM card tray. Look for any apparent evidence of **damage on the SIM card.** If everything appears to be in order, **replace the SIM card** in the SIM card tray.
4. **Place the SIM card in this position:** the gold contacts facing down.
5. **Insert the SIM card** tray.
6. Press in on the **tray to lock it** into place.

When the SIM card tray is locked in place and secured, turn on your iPhone and see if the **No service error is gone.**
