Ended up here with the exact same issue. Had my PPP for awhile now and recently PostmarketOS has been working really well for me. Got a FreedomPOP SIM to play around with and the messaging was working on the phone, it was coming out of sleep correctly, etc. Was really looking forward to giving the PPP a serious try finally. After about the 3rd insert/removal of the SIM the PPP now says 'there is no SIM inserted in the slow'. Tried the experimental PostmarketOS along with mobian and nothing shows up in the SIM on anything so I'm quite sure it's hardware related.
Also, tried the SIM in my Pinephone original and it shows up working with no issues.
Just filed a ticket with pine64 and will update here if I get any response on it.
Edit: Updating my post. It's been 15 days since I opened a ticket and there is no response on the ticket. Nor is there any indication anyone has looked at it.
Additionally, it appears my SD card no longer works either. Which I can only assume is a symptom of the SIM card no longer working.
