Fix: Samsung Galaxy Note 20 / 20 Ultra No SIM Card Detected Error

Having high-end phones like Samsung Galaxy Note 20 or Note 20 Ultra does not guarantee that the devices will not fall victim to any issues. The devices have faced issues in the past, and one of the most common problems is the No Sim Card Detected error. Whether the device is not detecting a sim card or throwing errors like No Service or No signal detected, we’ve listed some fixes to eliminate those issues.

In most cases, the sim card-related errors like No Sim Card Detected, No Service, etc., can be easily fixed. But, sometimes, the problem occurs when the sim card is damaged or there’s some network issue in your area. In any case, it’s worth applying the fixes that we have listed below.

Here’s what to do if your Samsung Galaxy Note 20/Note 20 Ultra is not detecting SIM card

Fix 1: Turn Airplane Mode on and off

Whenever you face any sim card or network-related issues, you should first turn on the Airplane Mode and then turn it off. This method does the trick most of the time. This method disconnects your device from the wireless system until the option is not turned on.

To turn on the Airplane Mode, Navigate to Settings > Connections > Airplane Mode and then tap on the toggle next to the Airplane Mode. Alternatively, you can turn on the feature from the Quick Settings.

Fix 2: Perform a soft reset

Soft reset (also called Force restart) is more effective than performing a normal reboot. The No Sim Card Detection Error on your Samsung Galaxy Note 20 or Note 20 Ultra could result from a system glitch. Performing a soft reset ends all the running processes, including those responsible for system glitches, which can fix all the sim card or network problems.

To perform a soft reset on your Samsung Galaxy phone, press and hold the power button and volume down (-) button for a few seconds. Release your fingers from the buttons once the Samsung logo appears on the screen. Let the device reboot itself, and check if the sim card issue persists.
