Reinsert the SIM Card: Turn off your phone, remove the SIM card, check for any dust or debris on the SIM card or slot, then reinsert it carefully. Restart the phone to see if it's detected.

Check the SIM Card and Slot for Damage: Look at the SIM card for scratches, bending, or other damage. Also, inspect the SIM card slot, as a damaged slot can prevent the phone from reading the card.

Try the SIM in Another Phone: Place the SIM card in a different phone to see if it works. This can help you determine if the issue is with the SIM or your phone.

Test Another SIM Card in Your Phone: Borrow another SIM card to see if your phone can read it. If it does, your SIM card may be faulty.

Check Network Settings: Go to Settings > Mobile Network and ensure that the network is enabled and not in airplane mode.

Clean the SIM Card and Slot: Use a soft cloth or a small brush to clean both the SIM card and the slot carefully.

Update Your Phone’s Software: Sometimes, a software update can fix compatibility or network issues. Go to Settings > Software Update to check for updates.

Factory Reset (Last Resort): If none of the above work, a factory reset could help if the issue is software-related. Make sure to back up your data first.

If the problem persists after these steps, it might be a hardware issue, and a visit to a technician could be necessary.

im pretty sure its hardware but can it be done?

If its hardware, no point getting it getting fixed, might as well get a new phone. There is some good cheap phones out there, depending what you can afford.

I a brought a good samsung A14 off amazon for £100 and £180 in the shops. Shop around and see what there is.

If you were get the phone fixed from a techician, you will cost you the same price as new phone. No point going to the techician. Just get yourself a new phone.
