Is the SIM tray supposed to be disconnected from the latch?
Just bought the phone and the SIM tray is not coming out when pulling the latch (the SD card tray works fine)

That's normal.
The SIM tray is not connected to the port cover and must be pulled out separately.
This allows you to eject and get physical access to the SD card without needing to power down the phone.

umm your service is disconnected?????
no,its not reading the card slot at all
This may be a stupid question- is the SIM card in the proper way? When did this start? What changed? Did you drop the phone?

When I first bought my Tilt used, I had the same problem. I had to stick a tiny part of a post-it to the back of my SIM and shove it in there. It's like my SIM wasn't thick enough.
The best way - to try with another SIM (maybe your friends have a mobile-phone )
Sometimes the old SIMs don't want to work with modern devices....
well heres my 2 cents as i just fixed it, my issue at first i thought it was the sim slot (replaced...) then found out the ribbon was damaged a crack occured, after another week of waiting for a package (today) i replaced it and now its running fine
Same here
My Sim was no longer available.
Kaiser had "sim card is missing", but the sim was in there.
I disassebled it and found that the main flex cable was damaged.
Now I'm waiting for replacement.
So, When the phone shows up "sim missing" it's an flex cable matter not the sim card flex or the sim card unit.
same problem here
I'm having the same problem here. thought that it was the flex cable of the sim, but when I disassambled the Kaiser I found out that the main cable was slightly scrached from a corner, and the sim's cable was there pluged well... I'm trying to fix it..gonna post the result for "sim card failure"...
So, just after the first day I got my Xperia T, the SIM tray was broken. I noticed my device having random reboots, then telling me there's no SIM card inserted. It took me some time, but then I noticed that whenever I insert my SIM card and close the tray, it just pops right out again. First I thought that maybe my SIM card was the problem, since I'm using a Nano-SIM with an adapter, so I tried with a regular Micro-SIM instead, but that didn't work either.
Right now my device is in repair and as I can tell from the repair status, they replaced the whole mainboard, which hopefully solved the problem.
Is anyone else having issues like that?
Same here, I had to put several layers of adhesive tape over the microsim to fatten and then lock it into the tray. Nasty, but working.
Same for me, but with 2 layers of post-it, it works.
Bad cut simcard or not perfect adapter is problem. Them simple brake a tray. Then good ones doesn't work either.
Use proper SIM card from first time.
Had the same problem - is it possible to replace only sim tray or is necessary to replace the whole mainboard?
Not sure if I broke mine or not. Does the SIM CARD HOLDER have 3 or 4 gold pins on the top.
Keep getting "no sim installed" and I'm not sure if I broke off a PIN or it's another issue.
My SIM slot has 3 gold pins and the furthest one on the left looking at the back of the phone with the camera on top is empty.
Is this correct?
Thanks!
edit: I've tried cleaning the sim contacts and I tried the "paper trick" with no luck. Sim works fine in another device.
Since yesterday my phone can't detect both my Sim card. It said no Sim inserted. All the while is working fine. Any solution on this? I'm not using sim adapter. I changed already 2 different Sim card and mostly i only got message new sim card inserted Restart to take effect. But after bit completed it still no Sim detected.
The SIM-slots of the Moto G are a very weak part of the phone, I had problems from the very first day to insert the cards correctly. After a short time the one slot doesn´t snap the card into place anymore,the whole construction is not build precise.
I had a few issues in not detecting the SIM card, after all I sticked a piece of thin plastic (or paper) on the top of the SIM´s to be certain that they stay tight at their places and if I´ve found the exact position everything works. So in my case it was a mechanical problem.
Hello All,
I've been looking to add a 2nd SIM to my wife's phone as she'd like to have separate numbers for work/life.
When I opened up the SIM tray I saw that the tray has an empty slot for 1 SIM card and another for SD card. there is a shape of the 2nd SIM slot on the tray, but it isn't fully cut out.
So I went to a few mobile repair shops around my area and was told they can order a tray for us, but it probably won't work as the phone is probably locked in software.
I know the phone isn't carrier locked, since I can switch carriers freely, so what can be the reason some unknown entity went out of their way to lock this phone to a single-SIM only?
And is there a way to unlock the 2nd slot?
Thanks!

Hi
I would take A gable and get a cheap sim tray of the bay and see if it works.
I have 2 sim and Micro SD in mine. If it is software lock i think you could flash A different region software to unlock it. Or It could be blocked as the sim reader only has the pins to read 1 sim card witch could be need hole new sim reader slot.
You could try cut out the plastic blocking the second slot
