Article Description

Good afternoon, dear Mi fans! My next tip can help many when activating SIM cards on our smartphones. So, let's go explore! The message that the SIM card is not activated on Xiaomi usually appears for those who have registered an account via email and have not specified a phone number. The Xiaomi service tries to collect as much data as possible about you in order to minimize the chance of losing your smartphone and “hijacking” your account, through which an attacker can remove the device’s lost mode and use it with another SIM card. Also, the entered phone number will help you easily recover your account if your password is forgotten. A plus to everything is the ability to use branded mi messages and mi calls via the Internet. Quite often activation fails, there is no single solution to the problem, the reasons can be different, we will try to sort out the most common ones. Blocking by the operator Activation of a SIM card occurs by sending a system SMS to another country . Some operators block SMS sent abroad by default. You need to call your operator's support service and ask if SMS should be blocked. Since messages sent to other countries are more expensive, it is also worth making sure that you have enough money in your balance. Typically, the average price of such an SMS does not exceed 20 rubles. If no SMS is sent from your phone, then you need to enter the SMS center number in the settings. You can find out from your operator. Changing the interface language Some older miui firmwares have an unpleasant flaw - SIM card activation does not work in Russian. Therefore, you need to switch the smartphone interface to English language. To do this, we do the following: Log out of the mi account Change the language to English in the settings Log in to the mi account, at this moment the SIM card should be activated Change the language back to Russian. This method is one of the most effective and popular. If after logging into your xiaomi account you see this message– you need to restart the phone and activation will be completed. Enter the number manually. Another reason for unsuccessful activation may be an error in identifying your number. One of the users suggested that the system SMS contains the SIM card number; if it cannot be determined, a failure occurs. This problem can be easily solved, just click on the error notification and a message will open in which you need to click the “repeat” button 3-4 times. After this, a window will open for manually entering your mobile number, where you need to enter it. Usually, after this manipulation, you can activate the SIM card immediately. Specify the number on the website There is a fairly simple solution to the problem - indicate your phone number on the Xiaomi website. Follow the link, enter the login and password for your mi account, go to settings and indicate your phone number, after which you will receive an SMS with a confirmation code. This method it would be worth putting first on the list, but according to reviews, it doesn’t help everyone, although Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, activation of our SIM card using this method was successful. Firmware If none of the previous methods helped you, then all you have to do is contact support for help or update the device. It is quite possible that the current firmware contains errors and shortcomings, especially if the smartphone was purchased on a Chinese site. Update your device to a new version of Android, if possible, or install more new version miui, preferably global. In the new versions, all the shortcomings with activation have been corrected, according to the developers. PS: I hope the tips described will help you and your life will become a little better! That’s all, see you again in the vastness of Mi-Community!

Hello Today we will deal with Xiaomi SIM Activate Service (com.xiaomi.simactivate.service) - I don’t know what it is yet, but judging by the name, I dare to assume that... some kind of SIM card activation service.

This problem does not occur on all phones.

My first thoughts:

  1. Maybe the word activation means registration on the network.
  2. Users write - Xiaomi SIM Activate Service pops up and asks to activate the SIM card.
  3. There is some advice online. I've reviewed them here. But some are helped, others are not. I hope it helps you.

I’ll say right away - it seems like you can freeze it. Then there will be no notification. For freezing, I recommend using Titanium Backup.

What could it be?

It’s not clear, I surfed the Internet, but didn’t find any good information. It seems that this is a service/service for activating a SIM card. We don’t need any activation, but the function can be made for other countries

This application may also cause the following message to appear:

Your sim card isn’t activated

It means the SIM card is not activated

If Xiaomi app SIM Activate Service is disabled, there may be problems synchronizing with Mi Cloud. But in general, synchronization requires applications such as:

  1. Mi Cloud (cloud);
  2. Mi Cloud backup (probably a cloud backup);
  3. Mi Account (account);

Here are the rights the service may have:

Well, here’s the Xiaomi SIM Activate Service itself:

Opposite it says Find device - that is, something was found, some kind of device, but I can’t understand what it is for...

Can I delete or disable it?

Honestly, I don’t know yet. I found information on one forum, people wrote - it seems like you can freeze it (for example, using Titanium Backup)

One user said this on the Xiaomi forum:


You need to enable some kind of Mi message for the SIM card in the message settings. And then another person said that after turning it on you need to reboot. What does it mean? I don’t quite understand, maybe you’ll understand better.. So, I found this setting. Look - go to Settings, and then to System apps:

And there will be this Mi Message option, turn it on:

There was also another picture, it’s not clear what it was for, but it says:

Send SMS and MMS messages to other MIUI devices without incurring charges when you’re connected to Wi-Fi.

Made a translation:


Here's the picture itself:

I also found some information - maybe it will help you?

One person wrote - just delete your Mi ID once and reboot.

Another person said - turn on the Mi message for both SIM cards in the settings, it’s not clear why..

Another one said that you need to delete Mi cloud data.

Guys, I don’t know if this will help, but... try going to Settings, and there Mi Account, then to Mi Cloud and turn off Find device there. Picture on topic:

Then reboot your device. This may help you, I found the information on the foreign official MIUI forum.

I also found another way - you need to check the phone number in your Xiaomi account. Go to Settings > Mi Account > Security Account. And check in the Phone field - is it the same number that you use on your phone? I mean the SIM card number .. in general, here’s a picture on the topic.
