SIM Disconnecting on OnePlus 10 Pro How to Fix

In this guide, we will show you various methods to fix the issue of the SIM disconnecting on the OnePlus 10 Pro. While OnePlus initially created quite a ruckus by announcing the unification of the OxygenOS and ColorOS, however, it soon realized its mistake and rolled back its decision. With that said, while you would still get a taste of OnePlus’ own custom skin, unfortunately, that’s just on paper as the UI looks more along the lines of the bloated ColorOS than the original OxygenOS.

And the misery doesn’t end here. As of now, various users have voiced their concern that their Vodafone SIM keeps getting disconnected on their OnePlus 10 Pro. It happens randomly at any given point in time and users are left with no mobile network. It goes without saying that a device without the ability to place calls or use carrier data is literally one of the most dreadful scenarios. What makes it even more intriguing is the fact that the issue is only happening with a particular carrier on just one specific device.

So it’s really hard to pinpoint who the culprit is this time around. If the issue would have been with Vodafone, then other device owners would have also reported this issue. Likewise, if the issue lies with the latest OnePlus flagship, then other carriers should also have gone through the same issue. But both these scenarios don’t stand true. Anyways, keeping our investigative hat aside, let’s make you aware of various methods to fix the issue of the Vodafone SIM disconnecting on the OnePlus 10 Pro. Follow along.
