Hi Maureen, check if the SIM is showing network signal on your phone, if the SIM is showing network signal, you can power off your phone and try it again.
If the SIM is not showing network signal, bring out the SIM from the phone and enter it again or try the SIM in another phone, if the issue persist, it means that the SIM has gotten damaged, you will need to do SIM swap.
