A quick solution often brings one of the following tips.
Clean the Sim card

If this doesn't help, continue with our second tip.
Sim card has a technical defect
Try alternatively another Sim card and check if this also shows the error. Often the contact surface of the Sim card is defective or badly processed and leads to the error "Sim card not allowed".
Configuration file
Sometimes it can help to have the configuration file for the Sim card or the smartphone sent again by the provider.
So it is possible that a possibly irrelevant configuration file is overwritten and the SIM card works correctly afterwards.
The configuration file can usually be requested via the provider's Online Service Center.
Quick remedy - aircraft mode
Usually it helps to activate or deactivate the aircraft mode. This causes the smartphone to dial into the mobile network again and the error usually disappears.
