SIM annoying message after every iPhone restart (SCREENSHOT AT THE END)

SCREENSHOT AT THE END!


There’s this annoying message I see everytime I restart my iPhone:

Explaination:

When I first got my iPhone (I think around 26 September 2025 i’m not really sure) it showed 1 time I think and everytime it got more, now stopped at 3 for a long time until now, it doesn’t matter when I click, it always comes back 2 more times. the only way to stop it was by adding a SIM PIN, but that kind of ****** me off because there’s nothing that hides it like dots or asterisks and it annoyed me. so I disabled it today after a long time, there’s no carrier update or something, I checked. and it disappears after a few seconds if I dont click on anything, and then if it wasn’t the last one another one comes back exactly the same, no matter what it comes like a minute after every restart and I still don’t know how to fix it, by the way I am so sorry for the long explanation and finally here’s the screenshot of the problem:

Have you told your cellular data provider how annoying it is, as both sim and SMS is their feature, not Apples.
