Could not activate cellular data network service

"Could not activate cellular data network service"
The message appeared when i connected 3G (Dtac carrier,thailand).But it could connected when i used my home wifi.I called my carrier to fixed the problem or reset network settings ,but still had the message.What's the problem?.

There is no expectation that the error will occur when connecting via Wi-Fi. The device simply is not using or attempting to use cellular data at that time.
Contact the carrier and troubleshoot the issue with them.

Contact your carrier to ensure data access via their network is provisioned properly for your account and iPhone with the new iOS 6 update installed.

I purchased an unlocked iPhone4 last month. Everything was fine till yesterday. Today morning when I tried to check mail, i suddenly got an error message saying " Could not activate cellular data network: you are not subscribed to a cellular data service"

I purchased an unlocked iPhone4 last month. Everything was fine till yesterday. Today morning when I tried to check mail, i suddenly got an error message saying " Could not activate cellular data network: you are not subscribed to a cellular data service", when I checked on my network settings i was not able to find the cellular data network tab ( where we use to input APN manually). i even tried to restore my iPhone to its factory settings, Still it remains the same. i cant able to connect to Internet using cellular data. help me...Plz..

Where did you purchase it from? There are lots of iPhones sold as "unlocked" which are carrier locked phones that were hacked and are not officially unlocked. These phones are subject to re-locking to the original carrier, particularly when updated.

Could not activate cellular data network even though carrier is listed at top right of ipad.Also states that not subscribed to a cellular data service. Any ideas?

I am receiving a message that iPad could not activate cellular data network and you are not subscribed to a cellular data service. Have signed with carrier, entered sim card and carrier with service bars appearing on top left corner? Any ideas?

"Cellular Data Plan Usage…There is no data remaining on your current plan. Would you like to add more data now?"what im going to do whit this problem??

I have done that and it is definitely on. My husband has the exact same phone and I upgraded his IOS at the same time, but this problem is not happening to his phone (we are also on the same plan, so our service should be the same). Our settings appear to be identical and my phone is showing the 3G symbol at the top, so I can't understand why it won't access the network.
I've turned it on and off twice and have reset all settings with my iTunes account, but it still isn't working.
I'm not a complete idiot with this sort of stuff - I have tried all the obvious things.

Could not activate cellulare data network??? what is the solution please.

everytime i try to log to the internet through the internet service provider on the phone, i get this message (could not activate cellulare data network)
I was loginig before via wifi meanwhile i do not have wifi and i am forced to use the service provider internet.
What should I do , I tried the soft, hard reset as well as the restart with no sucsses.
any advice???

I had the same issue "Cannot Activate Cellular Data Network" sometimes says "No Internet..or You are not subscribed to a Data Network". The phone works fine on WiFi.
I noticed this issue only yesterday when tried to access my emails via 3G Data, this may have started happening when I recently updated to 4.3.2 and my phone has never been Jailbroken.
I found a fix that worked for me..I'm using T-Mobile Germany.
Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings>enter Pin code if you have lock enabled>choose Reset Network Settings..
Remember doing this may also erase known WiFi networks, so you may have to enter the details again to get connected to a known WiFi network.
My 3G data started to work again after I did the above steps to default factory network settings.
T-Mobile Germany wasn't much help at all. All they could tell me was some crap about my config was in the wrong contract, Duh??
They probably did nothing to fix the issue and I suspect the above resets steps resolved it for me. Give it a try..
Cheers!!

Apparently, no one pays it... That's why they shut off your service.

Could not activate cellular data network on iphone 3g

my phone's screen broke yesterday so i bought an iphone 3g from a frend of mine, its running on 4.0.1, i am already on at&t an have an existing data plan but when i try to use the internet i keep gettng this message "could not activate cellular data network" what do i need to do to fix this?

I am absolutely getting LTE. From the iPhone 5S on, the GSM and CDMA phones had identical GSM radios ostensibly for overseas use (in the case of the Verizon phones). Verizon tells you they're only unlocked for overseas so that you won't leave their service for a domestic GSM. Actually, all of the 6's have identical receivers, however the CDMA antennae are disabled on the T-Mobile and AT&T versions... which doesn't matter anyway because Verizon and Sprint won't activate devices that did not originate on their networks though theoretically you could run on Verizon LTE with a GSM only phone as GSM is required for LTE (thus the SIM card in later model Verizon phones).
The Verizon model is the best of everything because it is completely unlocked for any carrier (except Sprint, but who cares, right?).
Edit: forgot to mention... Verizon is required to make all of their LTE phones GSM-unlocked as per their agreement with the FCC when they were acquiring LTE technology.

Could not activate cellular data network on iphone 6 plus

I was using an att's prepaid gophone and just bought an iphone 6 plus yesterday. but it shows that "could not activate cellular data network" even if "at&t 4g" logo shows on the top of the screen.
I've asked att for help and they said that my sim card and account are totally correct. When I put other's SIM card in my iphone and put my SIM card in an 5s, both of two iphone worked well. but when my sim card in my iphone, the cellular wouldn't work.
att said that iphone 6 plus which is a very new device may not support prepaid card yet, but i'm not sure if it is the point.
did anyone meet the same problem? i've tried the old solution about clear the cookie and data but it didn't work.
hope for your helps

"Could Not Activate Cellular Data Network" in Messages App

I disabled my APN setting coz I don't want to use data network of my carrier for now.
Why do I get the error "Could Not Activate Cellular Data Network" when I go to Messages? It doesn't use data connection or internet connection since its only SMS. The pop-up error message is irritating me. Makes me think that something in Messages App also eats data in the background for some reason.

Try to switch Off mms service ...
mms uses data !

Having just upgraded to Ios6 I can not log into my carrier. I get the message "Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data network." What can I do to rectify this?

Having just upgraded my iPad to IOS 6 I can no longer log onto my 3G Carrier. I get thi message "Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service" what can I do to rectify this?

I reset APN settings from my carrier service site and rebooted but it didn't fix the problem.

HELP : Could not activate cellular data network ?

Hello i have just updated to OS4 and when i try to access my mails i get the following message:
"Could not activate cellular data network - you are not subscribed to a cellular data service."
What is going on? iTunes gave me message that it could not 'activate' me now and that i would have to try again later. I have since then plugged in my iphone numerous times in iTunes. I don't get this 'can't activate now' message but I still cannot access my mails in my phone and i still get the message above.
no mails = help plz!!!!!
thxs,
me

sorry for delay in posting my reply. I have found that updating had in fact cleared all my cellular settings. basically it just needed to be reconfigured again. Why it cleared all the setting is a mystery.
Also, as a 3G user, I am not entirely convinced the new update is that good on the 'old' 3G. I have suffered from loss of performance and stability. My phone regularly gets stuck. Apps shut down of their own accord etc...
Am desperately waiting for the iPhone 4 to come out.

Alert! Could not activate cellular data network.

Is anybody familiar with the alert "Could not activate cellular data network"?
It alerts my frequently when I use my old iPhone 3G. I have requested my cellular service provider to block my GPRS, and the MMS function is turned off because I don't need it. Could this be the reason and can I turn the alert off?

You told your provider to block data services. You get an alert that the iPhone couldn't activate the cellular data network... Makes sense to me.
If you want to stop the alert, I believe you're going to have to go into settings and turn off cellular data. I'm not positive if this will stop the alerts or not, but I believe it will.
I don't know who your provider is, but most REQUIRE a data package if you have an iPhone.
Ok, thanks.

Ipad 2 "Could not activate cellular data network" message

Ipad 2 "Could not activate cellular data network" message after I updated to iOS5 despite the 3G network being displayed on the menu bar. How do I resolve this, folks?

There have been some threads with similar problems. One I recall was a user not being able to sign up for cellular service from Verizon after an update to ios 5. The problem seemed to be on verizon's end. If Verizon is your carrier call Verison to find out when they will have a fox for this problem.
