    Now we need to identify the battery release notch, put your finger in there and take the battery out

    Note that I have only been using my hands with no tools. Do not use screwdrivers, sharp objects, or anything else. This is all easily done by hand.

Reformat your device to see if the SIM card is activated on the reboot. Usually, this solves the issue but you can troubleshoot further by putting your phone in 2G instead of automatic. Also, you need to be using a SIM from your the network who provided you the phone unless you have unlocked it from the carrier. No new SIM from a different network will work unless the phone has been jailbroken.

I saw that Lumia 535 is a dual SIM and mine only has a place for one SIM card?

Where is the other place of putting the other SIM card
