The modem does not recognize Korean SIM cards (what?)

I cannot be sure if their changes in the system made the phone recognize the sim card, or this is just a concidence, but none of these sounds completely reassuring for me: if this is a coincidence, then I still don't know the real root cause of the problem. And if this is not a coincidence, then this does not look like quite a well design, because the *detection* of the SIM card actually requires some interaction with the network.
i also tested dead (no-service) sim card in pinephone. it shows that sim card is connected and also shows 4g symbol for no reason, but no service.

physical dimension of nano-sim and micro-sim are slightly different for thickness. nano-sim is slightly thinner than micro-sim. it might cause some issues, particularly if adapters are used.

good reminder for others:
