Can't activate data plans in iPad 2 3g version

I have an ipad 2 3g version.it is needed to send sms in order to activate various data plans.but i can't do it in ipad unlike in iphone.plz be kind enough to help me solve this problem.thank you and merry christmas....!!!

That's correct. iPad is not a phone and doesn't have mobile phone services like SMS texting and voice capability. What is it you are trying to do. If you think you can send an SMS, you must already have a cellular data plan, or not?

  • I can't activate FaceTime on my iPad.

    I can't activate FaceTime on my iPad. Keep getting activation error "your user name/password is incorrect" even though both are correct and I'm using them to login to iTune and this support community even after i reset it to check!!
    The iPad iOS is 6.0.1 and I'm in Canada so no country/region restriction. I've checked the date and time settings as mentioned on some support pages and restarted my iPad but still nothing.
    I never used FaceTime before so all help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Can I still use the phone in Boston when I move there?
    Only on a supported GSM carrier.
    Will there be networks I cant use?
    Yes. CDMA networks.
    As I understand it the 4S supports GSM and CDMA networks worldwide.
    No, you've misunderstood. The GSM iPhone you can buy in Ireland supports GSM networks only i.e. AT&T

    Hi Angela,
    I suspect it's background overhead used by TM leftover from this disk's TM days. Whatever it is, I don't know that there's a way to access it. To get rid of it, format the disk.

  • AT&T vs Verizon Data Plan for iPad 2 - Activation Fees?

    I heard that Verizon has a $35 activation fee everytime you activate the data plan. Is this true?
    I am trying to get one where I can activate on a month-to-month basis as I please without paying an activation fee each time. I know that this is the case for AT&T. If Verizon has the activation fee, then this is an easy decision.
    Thanks!

    For what it's worth i went to vzw.com/ipad2 and clicked the link "Check out Our Data Plans" and there is no mention of activation fees.
    This leads me to believe that the activation fee is for the MiFi unit because it has a phone number assigned to it.

    I think the Verizon website is misleading. There is no mention of activation fees, but according to almost every reputable source the fee exists.
    I wrote to Verizon customer service earlier in the week to find out from the source. I asked:
    "IF I purchase the Verizon 3G iPad2:
    1. Will I be able to activate/deactivate Verizon service as needed?
    2. Is there an activation fee? If so, how much?
    3. Is the activation fee charged each time service is activated and/or
    deactivated? If not, when exactly is the fee charged?"
    They answered:
    "You may disconnect the device at anytime. However, if the disconnect is after the 14-day Worry Free Guarantee return/exchange timeframe, then you are liable for an early termination fee. The early termination fee is prorated based on how much of the contract has been completed.
    Yes, there is an activation fee for all new lines of service. In your case, the activation fee would be $35. This applies each time that a line activation is requested."
    That reads to me as a $35 fee every time you activate service, be it every other month, every three months or whatever.
    It may not be a problem for some, but this is a dealbreaker for me. I am getting the AT&T iPad2. It is unfortunate that one iPad cannot handle both services, as that would promote competition.

  • How can i activate Bluetooth on my Ipad Air with iOS 8.2 ?

    Hello!
    My first problem is my bad English....  :-(
    My second problem is with Bluetooth on my Ipad.
    I can't activate the Bluetooth function on my Ipad Air with iOS 8.2.
    At Settings>Bluetooth there isn't a activate or YES/NO button.
    It allways shows a wait symbol (little turning circle)
    Do you have you any tipps for me?
    Best regards

    You can try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
    Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
    See here For more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
    If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • Separate Data Plans for iPad and iPhone?

    If you have both devices, do they each require their own data plan, or can the data usage be shared?

    tjmack99 wrote:

    The iPad required a mifi or wifi hotspot to connect to internet through VZW. The iPhone's data package would only be available for the iPhone alone. The iPad 2 will likely require a Mobile Broadband plan.

  • Data Plan on iPad 3 Not Working

    I have a Data Plan but don't know how it works, or why I can't make it work on latest, updated ipad 3.  Yesterday Verizon stopped working on my iPad. I also have ATT200, and have had it for years, but it also stopped working. Getting Verizon help always starts with my phone number, but I don't have a Verizon phone, so I'm locked out of help. Is there any english speaker in the world who can help me?  The people in the stores are flummoxed. 

    For the ipdad I would just visit an Apple Store if you have one near you.
    http://www.apple.com/support
    There is a help forum there that may have a solution as well.
    I am not familiar with the other device. Sorry.
    Good Luck

  • Manage Verizon data plan on iPad

    Just got a Verizon 4G iPad. I go into the Settings > Cellular Data > View Account and a window pops up telling me that "The SIM Card inserted in this device is already active on a subscription that connot be managed on this device."
    I thought that the data plan was supposed to be manageable from the device.
    I first called the Verizon customer care number given in the window. The first person said I had some kind of two year contract and passed me off to a different person. The second person said I did not have a contract, but that I needed to set up My Verzion account on the website. But that still didn't work. So I went back to the Verizon store and they said I had to download the My Verizon App.
    I'm pretty sure they are all wrong and that I should be able to manage my account directly through the iPad. Isn't that correct?

    I know it is old, hence the "isn't/wasn't" true. However I would think that if there were crazy rumors about this with the introduction of the iPad2 it is likely the same junk is still going around. Additionally I do not see any thing in the article referencing whether the month-to-month is pre or post paid. Just that it is no contract required.
    In any event, what I wanted was the ability to manage my plan from my iPad — something touted by Apple and even built into the Settings. And it seems that there couldn't possibly be a $35 fee for reuping a $30 montly service, as Pouge said, "That seemed so user-hostile, so outrageous,.."
    Here is what I have found out from my hour at the VZ store.
    4G iPads sold through a VZ store must be activated in store and signed up for a plan — either pre- or post-paid. Neither requires a contract of any sort.
    There will be a $35 service charge either way.
    There is no service charge for using the on-device account activation.
    Oddly enough it seems that you must have wifi to activiate the account. Which seems strange to me.
    Of course I got home and tried to use wifi to acivate my account. And now I've got "Invalid Sim card."

  • Manage data plan on iPad 2 from device

    I also purchased my iPad 2 3 weeks ago and have not been able to manage my data plan from my device.
    When I go to Cellular Data to View Account, I get an error message stating " Your iPad is already active on a subscription that cannot be managed from this device, please call customer service at 800-786-8419"
    After numerous calls into customer service to the above # and a incredibly frustrating visit to the Merritt Island Verizon store with Michael - I am at my wits end.
    Each call ends with a promise of a ticket that will resolve my problem in 72 hours and when it is not fixed, another call back to Customer NO SERVICE and they cannot find my previous tickets.
    At the store, Michael thought selling me a Verizon cell phone would solve my problems.  He then took my AT&T phone to call Verizon, who used 25 minutes of my AT&T minutes (NOT ON AN UNLIMITED PLAN) to still NOT FIX MY ISSUE.
    Has anyone else been able to get this issue resolved or should I return my Verizon Ipad 2 for an AT&T device?
