Can't Acces Cellular Data Account in Settings

Hi
I'm having issues accessing my O2 Data account. I check this on a daily basis to see what I'm at in terms of data usage.
Today I get a strange message saying "Device not Recognised, this iPad has not been registered prperly in our systems. Call Custommer Service on **** and when asked provide the ID ***********"
Now, the cusommer service number is that of O2, so I called them and they told me categorically that this was an Apple Software issue and I should take my iPad back...... hmmmmm, what a load of tosh.
I'm currently using it on 3G not wifi, so I suspect it maybe a weak or faulty 3G connection. I can still access the internet so I know it's not an Apple issue.
Anyway, I dutifully phoned AppleCare (Waited 10 mins) and they said exactly what I thought which is "You need to call your service provider O2 as this is clearly an issue on their side", they were nice about it.
I so hate these kind of circular situations.
I hope this is just a one off problem due to a faulty network and it all comes back on-line. I've sued this everyday to track my Data Usage against my plan.
I've also done the obvious full re-set a couple of times, but no Joy
Anyone had similar problems?

Andy
Did you ever this get this resolved? I now have exactly the same issue - stuck between O2 and Apple. Now on 2nd SIM and iPad restore - three weeks on and no mobile data connection still - seriously unimpressed!
Appreciate any pointers...
Thanks

Can not view cellular data account any more (email address does not match)

On iPad, was originally able to go into Settings > Cellular Data > View Account and view the account info. Now cannot. If try using correct email address and password, get message that account or password are incorrect. If try entering just the email address and clicking "forgot password", get "the email address you entered does not match the email address on file for this device".
But the 3G cellular is still working.
Don't know if related, but this problem began after the reports of the 100,000 iPads/users hack. Leads me to wonder if I got hacked.... or more likely if the system/database that "View Account" normally accesses is offline or being reworked by AT&T.
Any suggestions? Best AT&T contact via Internet? By phone #? By local AT&T store? Via Apple? Use iTunes to reset to factory defaults and start over (risk loss of unlimited plan?)?.
Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, I just had the same problem yesterday and it was a misspelled e-mail address, BUT, it did take me three calls to AT&T and more than two and a half hours. The first person didn't even know what I was talking about and gave me a number for iPad support which turned out to be Apple's, so... no help. The second person told me they were there only to solve iPhone problems until I read her your posts, then she tried and tried until the call was cut off (this is AT&T after all). But the third person finally understood, even though it took her almost an hour to get to their iPad support department (she told me it was busy all the time) not before trying with their "technical department" also. I just can't believe that Apple sells millions of these things and AT&T can't supply a direct phone number for this department, or doesn't even train their personnel.

Can I manage my ATT cellular data account from a website and not from my device?

I have an iPad2 (iOS 7.0.6) with an ATT cellular data plan for 2GB for 30 days. Received a usage alert that I only have 0.4 GB left for the remaining 11 days in the billing period. Settings/Cellular Data/Account (after logging in) only gives macro information about the total usage.
Is there a way to get more detail about cellular data usage? Like broken down between email, streaming music, web surfing, etc? The website www.att.com/att/datacalculator lets you make estimates, but is there a way to use this itemized format to see your actual usage?
Also, is there a way to manage my Cellular Data account online without using the iPad (and without having to suffer through a customer support voice menu that probably won't let me talk to a live person)? I tried going to www.attwireless.com and using my iPad cellular data account login info there, but the site said I couldn't monitor the device from there (I can only use it for our cellphones). I'm now in a data conservation mindset and am afraid that accessing the cellular data account to modify the data plan is going to swallow all the remaining data for the month.

The AT&T web site may not break it down, but iOS 7 does. If you go into Settings -> Cellular Data down near the bottom it provides a list of apps and how much cellular data they have used since you last reset your cellular data counters. For me, I last reset my counters Sept 11, 2013, and since then I have used 19.5GB on my AT&T cellular network. Below that it gives a list broken down by app and how much data each has used.

I am trying to set up my verizon cellular data account on my Ipad. When I go to "view account" in settings its already on AT&T, how do I change it to Verizon?

Is this the newest iPad Mini? If so, in order to activate it, you'll need to go into a Verizon Store and get a Verizon SIM.

I can't sing in my ipad cellular data account

i can't sing in my ipad cellular data account..

But seriously though.
What does it say when you try to sign in? Do you have an internet connection right now? (either 3G or Wifi)

I can't access my cellular data account on my iPad

Having trouble accessing my cellular data account on iPad , it refuses to accept password, won't send email with forgot password info.

I had this problem and tried every which way to fix it. Then I realized perhaps the email was missing a letter as it was simular to my son's...when i tried his I could access and change the information. (I now 'snap' pictures of each step I do to keep in a safe place, so I can see exactly what info I put in.) No wonder I never recieved the email confirmation...duh, that should have given me the clue!!

If I buy an iPad as a gift for someone, can they add a cellular data account later?

Hi,
I am looking to buy an iPad air as a gift for someone, but I don't want to sign them up for any sort of cellular data account.
If I buy the regular WiFi iPad, can they pay to have a cellular account added later?
Also, if I were to buy say an AT&T compatible model, and they later change to Sprint, will they still be able to use the iPad on the new plan?
Any guidance is appreciated!

Yes. Apple or a certified Apple retailer. Any other source may be bogus. With the Apple SIM you don't need to decide what carrier at time of purchase. However, Apple only supports AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Of course you can also buy it from your chosen provider if they support and sell them.
I suggest you visit Apple's online store to see what you need. It's well explained. I just bought one two days ago.

Get rid of "Cellular Data Account" iPad message

How can I get rid of "Cellular Data Account" Now / Later message. It is incredibly annoying to have that pop up a number of times each day.
I won't need the AT&T service until I travel and that's not for a few months.

Go to Settings > Cellular Data and turn it off.

When I try to disable cellular data in the settings for my apps it will toggle fine, but once I exit and go back in to the cellular settings its back on again all by itself.

I have had a problem with my iphone 4s for some time now but I have just been so busy to try and fix it. When I try to disable cellular data in the settings for my apps it will toggle fine, but once I exit and go back in to the cellular settings its back on again all by itself. However, even though it says the data is on, I can’t use the data when I don’t have wifi. I tried restoring my phone a few times and the last time I did that, it wouldn’t turn my service on so I had to talk with a Verizon agent for a long time trying to fix it and finally they simply sent me another phone. I thought hey new phone, this part will be fixed. However, I got my service to work but it’s still the same problem with the cellular data. I have just left it alone and not worried about it, but it’s still not fixed and thought I could ask on here if anyone had any ideas. It has something to do with the apps actually installed on the iphone. Apps like the mail, safari, settings, itunes apps, etc. All my other apps turn on and off just fine. Does anyone have any ideas?

Read the User's Guide... it covers how to backup and sync the device as designed.

HT4157 What is a cellular data account and what's its purpose?

What is a cellular data account and what's its purpose for the iPad3.

It allows you to use the 3G/4G networks for accessing the internet (e.g. emails, browsing etc) - which might be useful if you don't have access to wifi. It can't be used for 'normal' phone calls.

My ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

pvonk, you were right, something was amiss. It is just a shared calendar (me and my PA) and nothing I could do would seemingly connect the iCal and cloud accounts.
Late last night I upgraded from OSX 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, as I thought that might resolve some settings or minor corruptions in the way my Mac Book was working.
This morning I opened iCal, and once again it attempted to refresh the page. And a few seconds later my iCloud diary appeared on iCal.
The moral of this issue is I think as follows.... when you check all the settings and follow all the advice, and something like this is still not working then it could be the software is slightly corrupt, so a re-install or applying an update (if there is one available) will help resolve issues.
So spot on advice, something was amiss and is now resolved thanks

my ipad doesn't have a cellular data tab under settings, how do I add a data plan?

Wi-Fi only iPads cannot receive cellular data nor can they be updated to a cellular iPad.

According to the AT&T Wireless web site, you can manage your iPad data plan either from the iPad, or by using a web browser:
From the website
Log in to your account at att.com/iPadlanding using the email address and password you used during activation.
Your account information will display. Select the desired account change option then tap Next.
Read the Terms of Service, and then tap Accept.
Review the Payment Summary to ensure the details are correct. Use the Back button if changes are required, otherwise tap Submit.
Read the Confirmation message then tap OK.

My Ipad wont remember my cellular data account Information

My cellular data account keeps saying my password is invalid. So I have to restore IPad 2 back to factory settings and reset password. But next time I try to log in, same thing. Information invalid. Help ! Why does this keep happening?

I had the same issue. According to my 3G provider (Verizon), you don't have to restore your iPad to factory settings, only your cellular password. Go to Settings -> Cellular Data -> View Account. When the window loads, tap Forgot Password and follow the instructions to reset your password. This worked for me.
