How do I stop my ipad telling me there's no sim card installed?
Hi,
I have an iPad mini. I don't keep a SIM card in it (although I could, it's not limited to wifi only) and, in fact, I paid extra to buy the ipad without a contract to a network. Since "upgrading" to the latest ios, my ipad tells me there's "no SIM card installed" every few moments. It's happened 5 times so far, typing this and it's making me want to punch my ipad in the face. Is there any way to turn this off?
Thanks.
Yeah, same problem here, same sentiment! it sure feels like harassment. no solution works (even the absurd ones). makes me regret the update :s

How do I stop iPad telling me I have no SIM card installed
I only use wifi, but I'm continually told every few minutes I have no SIM card installed how can I stop this.
Depending on your iPad model, if you have Siri you can tell her to turn Cellular Data off. If you own the iPad 2, then the only way I was able to do it was to get a SIM card (you don't need to activate it) and place it in the Sim slot. Once you do that, you then have access to turn off cellular data through settings.
Settings->Cellular Data - toggle it off.
Hope this helps! -

You cannot active a phone if it does not have a SIM card in it. Period. End of discussion.
If you get this error and it has a SIM card in the phone then either the SIM card is defective or the phone is defective. Get a new SIM card and try again. If the problem occurs with the new SIM card the phone needs to be repaired. -

While i am trying to activate my ihone on wifi also it doesnt saying servers are temporary unavailable try after sometime. Kindly suggest
It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked. -

The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...
If this is the case... you are out of luck... Because...

I upgraded my 3gs to the iOS5 software, but it keeps telling me on my iphone and my itunes that it cannot activate my iphone! Then my iTunes said there is no SIM card installed. HELP! I can't seem to even restore, which is what I was told to do by the Apple Store.
Hi there,
if your phone has ever been replaced by Apple (within or outside of warranty), have Apple check their records to which carrier your iPhone (its IMEI number) is currently locked to.
If it is locked to any other than the carrier you have your SIM-card from, ask the folks at Apple to have your phone's lock adjusted to your carrier. Once that is done, there is a good chance that your phone will work again.
Hope this helps,

i am not able to activate my Iphone- I have a SIM card but it keeps telling me there is no SIM card. My phone has been unlocked by Apple but keeps.
i got in Manhattan from AT&T-
This error came after I updated the software since Apple confirmed and I have spoken with them and they confirmed it is officially iunlocked since I have full filled their terms of the agreement.
This phone was working earlier since i had jail broken it.
I have been using it with jail break for about 2 years now -

Original iPad 3G 64GB intermittantly says no sim card installed
My iPad, original 3G 64 GB intermittantly says no sim card installed. There is no pattern as to when this occurs. Retarting the iPad sometimes helps. I have removed the sim card, blown out the sim slot and reintalled the sim card. I have done everything I can think of short of restoring back to factory condition. I have since been lent another iPad (identical to mine) and have installed my original sim card. So far, no issues. This leads me to believe it is an issue with the iPad itself. Can anyone offer any suggestions or help?
Thanks,
Art M.If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so. -

Take it to an Apple Store and have it checked out. You could have a hardware issue there if the SIM is not being recognized.

hi sir i have a problem in my iphone
The phone was originally locked to AT&T in the US and was hacked to allow it to be used on another network. Restoring the phone has re-locked it to AT&T.
AT&T does NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. You can't use that phone except on AT&T.
Sorry. It's useless to you. Sell it and purchase one you can use. -
Need help asap
I would try poping the sim card out and then putting it back in. Therer is a small hole in the side just stick a pin in it and pop the try out and slide it back in. If that doesnt work back your device up and then restore it. If that still doesnt work go to your phone comany.

I have recently upgraded from the iPhone 3g to an iPhone 4, and I was going to give my 3g to a friend, but it comes up with the message as above, whenever the phone is turned on...
There is a sim card installed...
My carrier (virgin) say that they have unlocked the phone from optus.
How do I fix this?
thanks
AnushkaVirgin use the Optus network here in Australia - which is why, the 3G phones showed you connected to the Optus network, and not to the Virgin network...They don't have their own network, they piggyback on Optus - which is why it would show that it is locked to Optus!
They also said they would unlock my iPhone 4 - which has been done! So there's obviously something wrong with the phone...
