First, make sure the SIM card is inserted correctly in the SIM card slot. Restart your phone to see if that resolves the problem. If not, try cleaning the SIM card and the SIM card slot with a soft cloth. You can also try resetting the network settings on your phone to see if that helps establish a connection to the network.
If all else fails, contact your mobile network provider for further assistance.

Updating Software and APN Settings

Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install any updates. To update APN settings, go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. Edit or add a new APN with the correct settings provided by your network provider.
Make sure to save the changes and restart your device for the updates to take effect. This should resolve any “No service” issues on your Samsung Galaxy smartphone, including models like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy S III.
