I have had my iPhone Xs Max for over a year now, and this is the first issue I am having.
This morning as I went to grab my phone, it states 'SIM Failure' on the screen and it is not connecting to my service provider. I cannot do anything on my phone unless it is connected to wifi. Why did this happen and how can I fix this?

alexisnoelle_, we always want you to have a working phone! It is possible that there is an issue with the SIM. Let's try this, turn off the phone and remove the SIM card. To learn how visit http://spr.ly/66021tj9E
When you place it back in the phone power it back on to see if the issue still persists.

Unfortunately, the problem still occurs. I have turned it off, removed the sim, placed the sim card back in and powered the phone back on BUT still informs me with a box in the middle of my screen saying "SIM Failure"
At this point, I do not know what to do anymore..
It is possible for a SIM card to fail. It is rare, but it can happen. You should be able to to order/request a new SIM card through your MyVerizon account online.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

I just had same thing happen with my iPhone 13 Pro Max . A message saying SIM FAILURE popped up and now I have no cellular or internet service . I cannot even call Berizon because 611 doesn’t even work and trying to access the Verizon App requires that a text message code be sent and I cannot receive one .
