"could not activate network"

Is there any way to disable that "could not activate data network" pop-up?  It's really annoying to have that appear when you're using your iDevice as a GPS when you hit a temporary no-data-coverage area.  It would also be OK if it went away on it's own, but having to interact with the screen while driving for a mere transient issue is not ideal at all.
Thank you.

  • HT4623 My new iPad can no longer connect to the 3G network. I keep getting the message "could not activate cellular date network".

    I updated my new iPad to the iOS 6 while connected to wifi. However, it will no longer connect to the 3G network. I keep getting the message "could not activate cellular data network" even though the 3G symbol appears normal. I have tried rebooting, but it still doesn't work. Please help!

  • How to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3g or gPRS on safari with an iphone 4 and latest software updates

    Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.

    All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
    Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

  • IPHONE 5: can't receive calls & random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network."  This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational.

    IPHONE 5:  can't receive calls and random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network."  This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational, and it does not matter whether wifi is on or off.  ATT went through the standard protocol - resetting network, resetting sim card, etc.  No changes.  Other phones working fine in same region with same carrier.  Apple's solution is to restore software, but haven't gone there yet.  Anyone successfully addressed this/these issues?   

    I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.

    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.

  • Could not activate Cellular Network - Iphone 2.2.1

    Bought an unlocked (italian) 3G iphone to use in UK. All works well except that it will not connect to internet or mail without wifi connection. Using Orange SIM I have set APN ot orangeinternet and it still won;t work. Have tried resetting <networks> under Settings General. I have a nice little E sign next full bars of signal but it still refuses to connect giving me the message "Could not activate Cellular Network" I now the SIM works as it is fine in my Blackberry and Orange have confirmed it is 2G!
    Any Help much appreciated? Or should I just EBAY the phone and go back to the Blackberry?!

    The answer to this is now straightforward, thanks for everyone's help - it all finally added. Apple Genius Bar were almost a wasted trip, barely made the effort to look up from the Imac! but i did establish that the phone works when we tried using his O2 sim in the phone.
    The 3G SIM i have is 'provisioned' for blackberry - apparently this cannot be reversed or undone (but to be honest I don;t believe Orange). It seems that the phones will work with the correct APN (in this case <orangeinternet>, <user>, <pass>). I bought a 3G pay as you go SIM and it works fine. To get round this i need a new SIM and guess what... orange won't let me have one. However, they will upgrade me next week with a new 3G phone with a 3G sim - so i will put the SIm in the Iphone and EBAY the new phone. How daft is that when a simple SIM will do what i need.?
    So solution - check your current sim isn't provisioned for a particular type of phone - if it is they have you by the short n curlies. Revise your APN and use the links in this thread to establish the correct GRPS settings.
    The most painful part of this is as ever, Customer Service - Both Apple and Orange are painful and do exactly the opposite of what it says on the tin.
    Apple are creating real issues by trying to control a free market - locking down phones to regional providers is simply unrealistic and as soon as they realise that this does more ill will to their brand the better.
    Wonder if they ever read any of this stuff!
    Thanks to all

    Hi, l have the same problem, were you able to resolve?

  • I bought an unlocked 3G and when I try to use the internet, it says 'Could not activate mobile data network'.

    Hi all,
    I have recently acquired an iPhone 3G 16GB. It is unlocked and I have put my sim card in (Virgin Mobile) and used it without problem when calling or sending text messages. The internet all works fine when connected to a wi-fi network.
    In the top left hand corner it says '3G', however if I try anything related to the internet (Safari, Twitter etc.) a message will appear reading 'Could not activate mobile data network'. This is very inconvenient for me. All internet related activities work fine when connected to a wi-fi network.
    Is this a problem with all unlocked phones? Is there a solution to this? Or am I simply unable to use the internet without wi-fi on this model?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, all questions may sound silly, but this is my first iPhone and I am very inexperienced with them!
    Thanks

    First, you don't have a 3G if you have iOS 6.1.4. The 3G cannot go higher than iOS 4.2.1. That is not related to your problem, but worth knowing.
    Let's try the obvious first. Tap the Settings icon. Then tap General. Then Cellular. Is Cellular Data on? Is there an entry for APN? If there is contact your carrier and ask what the APN settings should be. If there is no entry don't worry; the APN is automatic with your carrier.

    I have had the phone plan working for about 5 months, with no previous issues with the data working.

    Does this mean that I have to upgrade my plan to the 4G fleix cap to receive a cellular compatibility?
    Or do I have to purchase a locked in contract with them for this issue to be resovled?

  • 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!!

    Further, if you are not in your home cellular carrier's area, you need to set Settings > General > Cellular > Data Roaming = "On".

  • I am getting an error message "could not activate cellular data network" with my iPhone when there is no wifi

    I am getting an error message with my iPhone whenever I try to access my data with no wifi.  It says "could not activate cellular data network".  This just started today and has never happened before.  Did I change a setting or something?

    Hello, romac12. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I have experienced this issue before.  If there have been any changes to your cellular account such as adding a line, plan change or upgrade, more than likely there is a provisioning issue on the carrier end.  However, I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.  If the issue persists, see step 9.

  • 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.
