Error trying to activate cellular data plan Q1019

Iʻm trying to activate my cellular data on my ipad, but everytime I enter my billing info. and what not it keeps giving me a Q1019 error which says "Please validate the highlighted billing information and retry" Iʻve done this a number of time with different cards, all my info is correct and itʻs still not working. Any suggestions that would be able to help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

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

  • ERROR: Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure

    I have an iPhone 3g that was given to me by a friend a couple months ago. Before I got the phone i was on a plan with Softbank in japan with another cell phone. When i got the iphone i unlocked it so that i could use my old sim card with the iphone. everything worked out fine, i was unable to use the internet via 3g since it wasnt on my plan but i could text and make calls with no problem.
    Everything was working fine until yesterday when i started getting this error message: "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"
    once this happened i could no longer text or make calls. my iphone recognizes the sim card, shows one bar of signal, the network, and the 3g symbol. i have also rebooted, restored, reset network settings, and talked with Softbank; all had no help.
    i have no idea how to fix it, any suggestions would be awesome.
    thanks.

    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.

  • "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 !

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • When trying to use internet without Wifi I get a "Could not activate cellular data network - PDP authentication failure". What is the solution?

    When trying to use internet, i get a" could not activate cellular data network - PDP authentication failure" Message. how to solve this problem?

    If you have a data only plan for the iPad with your carrier, if no change after powering your iPad off and on you will need to contact your carrier.

  • HT1976 Hi, visiting USA, and bought an I-Phone 5, unlocked. Then bought monthly pay as you go $25, and added a features package. Then found I needed to be on the $50 plan. Still says cannot activate cellular data!

    Hi,
    Bought from Apple store an unlocked I-phone 5.
    Bought a basic pay as you package 10c per minute.
    Then decided I wanted data coverage, so went for the $25 per month and a data packeage.
    Phone kept saying "could not activate cellular data network" as I was  "you are not subscribed to a cellular data service".
    AT&T, said not available on this plan.
    Checked the small print, and it sad I needed £50 plan. Paid more money to go on the pay as you go $50 plan, addde more to the data package.
    Same messages.
    Now, cannot get an AT&T e-mail address to ask, no help from the auto messages.
    Any ideas?
    Apart from the "you've been tricked?"

    Hi,
    Yep, tried to phone just an ordinary store, and they were uselee; basically it was translated as "we just take your money"
    You are correect, need corporate one.
    I am travelling around USA on motorbike, so will have a look.
    Howver, I thought someone would have a quick answer.
    Is there even an e-mail address or phone number.
    I tried the 611 and got no suitable option, and there did not appear to be a suitable e-mail either>
    Whatever, just found out that aT &T do not offer this on pay as you go, not matter how much money the plan is!!

  • Could not activate cellular data network error

    i bought ipad 2 few days back. while i'm trying to connect to 3G i'm getting the pop up saying "could not activate cellular data network".. can anyone help?

    If you have the sim version (AT&T in the US), did you purchase a sim card from your carrier, insert it and buy data?  If you have CDMA version (Verizon in the US), have you contacted your carrier to set up a data plan?

  • I cannot connect to the net using 3G, i have ipad2 16GB, i have tried resetting my ipad2, and resetting the network setting, my location is here in riyadh, everitime i try to connect to the net theres a pop message saying "could not activate cellular data

    i cannot connect to the net using 3G, i have ipad2 16GB, i have tried resetting my ipad2, and resetting the network setting, my location is here in riyadh, everitime i try to connect to the net theres a pop message saying "could not activate cellular data network, please help me guys thanks.....

    Thanks for the quick response. No, I did not get any error messages or any terms-of-usage screen. The employee I told my problem to was not computer savvy either. She just suggested I move to different spots w/in the library to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. When I connected to the library WiFi it did change the Verizon 3G that is usually in the upper left corner to iPad with two to three emanating arcs. I may have to go to the library in the next town. I was able to connect to theirs in the past when I had to download something greater than 20 MB. Unless I really want it, I will probably not even try to download something more than 20 MB due to the hassle. Yeah, I may have been better off getting a normal desktop or laptop and getting WiFi at home. To do that now would mean having my iPad 2 and a desktop computer, which I feel is extravagant. (I know there are a lot of big spenders out there who got the iPad as additional gadget for fun. This is a rich country.) A Verizon rep told me I couldn't set up a WiFi router at home just using an iPad. So it seems like a person who just uses 3G is limited to surfing the net (not even much YouTube because it eats a lot of data) and using email. I read about an app that helps print wirelessly using 3G, but a reviewer said you had to be an engineer to get it done right. BTW, I like the Steelers. I'm old enough to remember Franco Harris and that blond guy whose name escapes me back in the '70s. Since I live in North Jersey I feel I have to support the Giants. But I know football about as well as computers.

  • HT4623 Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service" "Cellular Data Plan Usage-There is no data remaining on your current plan. Would you like to add more data now?"what is the best thing i can do with this p

    Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service"
    "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.

  • 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.
