If you’ve just purchased a new Android phone and are encountering the message “insert SIM card from your service provider for network service,” don’t fret. It’s common to get this message, especially if you’re setting up a Samsung Galaxy A14 without a SIM card. The good news is, you can still activate your phone and get through the setup process without inserting a SIM card from your service provider.
To start, tap on each of the corners of the screen, beginning with the top left, top right, bottom right, and bottom left. Do this three times, and then press and hold the volume down button. You should receive an appropriate message on your screen.
Once you receive the message “No SIM is unlocked,” tap on start, and you’ll be able to continue through the setup process. Agree to the terms and conditions and the privacy policy, and skip the other optional sections. This will allow you to get to the home screen and use your device without having to insert a SIM card.
By following these simple steps, you can activate your Android phone without having to deal with the hassle of inserting a SIM card from your service provider. Don’t let an insert SIM card message deter you from using your new device; try this method instead.
