Ways To Resolve This Issue Without Official Aid
Let’s go through ways we can right this:
Check to be sure your SIM card is properly inserted
Open the SIM slot of your phone and take out the SIM card.
The way to do this differs on different models of phones.
For an Android or iPhone: You can easily do this with the little ejector pin provided in your phone pack when you get the device or you can use a straightened office pin or ladies, you can use your earring…(you are welcome). Gently but firmly push it into the pinhole of your device then retract the SIM card tray carefully.
For others: The SIM card is sometimes located behind or at the side of the battery. After taking out the battery, you can easily use your finger to remove it. Quick advice: clean the seat for the SIM card after you remove it, especially if it is an older phone.
Reinsert your SIM card.
For Android or iPhone: make sure the SIM is well positioned on the tray. Then gently push the tray back into the cave, and be sure that you don’t shake the arrangement or bend the tray while putting it in, so the SIM card can make proper internal contact.
For others: make sure the SIM card is rightly placed on the slide.
Power off and on your phone if it is an Android or iPhone.
Removing the SIM card tray and reinserting it does not need you powering off your device. So you will have to manually power off your phone by pressing the power button and clicking on the “power off” prompt. Then restart it by pressing the power button again
Power on your phone if it is under the “others” category. Since you had to remove the battery to take out the SIM, you will only need to power on the phone after reinserting the SIM card.
Normally, after you power on your phone, the SIM card automatically activates itself. However, if it does not, you will have to do it manually. The procedure to activate a SIM card differs with the carrier, so it is advisable to contact your carrier and get the right information on how to do it.
After following the above instructions, and you still have the error message popping up, time to take things a step further.
Check the SIM card on another phone
Remember that one of the causes of the message is a result of a damaged SIM card slot. This method will help you know if the issue is from your phone or the SIM card.
Follow the same steps you used for your phone as stated above.
If it works on this phone, it may mean there is an issue with the first phone.
Go for a replacement
If after trying all the tips above and the issue persists, it is time to call your carrier for a replacement or visit the closest store/outlet.
Visiting a store close by is more advisable because they will run checks for you and tell you if you need to replace the SIM card or not.
What Then Do You Do If Replacement Doesn’t Solve The Problem
It’s time to call the big shot. Yeah, that’s right, call up the service provider and explain in detail all the steps you have taken to resolve the issue all to no avail.
They are always willing and available to help, you have nothing to worry about.
Question: Does it mean my phone’s SIM slot has a problem if the SIM card works on another phone but not on mine?

Answer: You may. The great part is that now you know how to handle it when it happens.
“SIM not provisioned mm#2 error” shouldn’t be something to worry yourself over any longer. Now you know what to do, you can also help others in this dilemma.
