If you are facing a “Sim not provisioned MM2” issue even if you have an old Sim card, follow the given four solutions that we have found out for you and they may help you in solving the issue (temporary and permanently).

1. By restarting your mobile phone

One of the reasons for displaying the ‘Sim not provisioned MM2 error’ can possibly be when the device software is corrupted and is unable to read for any network connections. The easiest and quickest way to resolve this issue is restarting the device.

When you restart the device, the software error that is due to network congestion gets fixed, and therefore, the software regains the ability to read for different networks.

After restarting, check if the error notification has been eliminated or not. If the device still displays the error notification, head to our next solution to get it fixed.

2. By re-inserting the sim card

2.1

Another reason for the issue being displayed may be the improper placement of the sim card in the tray. When this happens, the sim card loosens and loses its connection with the rest of the device and then the error is displayed on your phone.

To resolve the issue, turn off your smartphone and open the card tray. Re-insert the sim card into its slot and also apply some kind of pressure on it so that it may remain stable and static.

You can either use tape to fix the sim card into its position in the card tray or a piece of paper to exert some pressure on the card and tray so it can remain fixed and does not move from its position.

2.2

Another reason due to which the phone displays the sim not provisioned MM2 error issue related to sim card tray may be the accumulation of dust particles in it. It is possible that there are dust particles accumulated at the sim card tray and when it comes in contact with the internal circuit, it is causing the error.

To resolve the problem, turn off your mobile phone and pull out (open up) the card tray using a pin or pointed instrument. Remove the sim gently and wipe out the dust with a soft object or by blowing it. Reposition the sim card into the slot/tray and power on the device to check if the issue is solved or not.

If the problem is still displaying on your phone screen, insert a different sim card into the device and check if it is supporting or not. If the device is still displaying the error, then it’s the device’s fault.

If the device supports the other sim card, there is a high possibility that the sim card is corrupted. In such a case, it is necessary to take the sim card to its nearest carrier.

3. By confirming the sim activation

If you have a newly registered sim card, it usually takes 24-48 hours for activation. If the phone screen is displaying the sim not provisioned MM2 error in a new sim card, you will have to wait for some time. It is good to contact the telecom services to get to know about the activation process.

It is necessary to share all your important information with the provider to get to know the activation process.

If none of these things work, then you’ll need to contact your carrier/network provider to ask for a replacement card.
