SIM status and presence:

First enable the extended error codes to get a verbose format,

AT+CMEE=2
OK

Now get the status of SIM presense,

AT+cpin?
+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted

Above AT command response indicates that SIM card is not present. Verify that SIM is inserted properly and check again,

AT+cpin?
+CPIN: READY
OK

When the SIM card is ready, above AT response will be received from the module.

You need to check if you are already connected and registered to the network (CREG status). For better error interpretation send AT+CMEE=2 for verbose errors.
