HT201415 I inserted a working sim card but iPad(2) says "no SIM" - cellular data setting greyed out

I inserted a working SIM card into my iPad 2. It picked up the network but later gave a message saying "No SIM". The Cellular Data control option is greyed out so I cannot get in to this function. I have tried removing the SIM and re-inserting as well as re-starting. This made no difference. Any suggestions why this is the case? I have tried the SIM in my iPhone 4 and it works fine. Thank you.

The SIM was taken from my iPhone. It is an extra line and was used for voice calls etc. So, it appears as though I need to get a dedicated data SIM. Appreciate the assistance..many thanks!

Ipad Air 2 cellular/Wifi - With new sim card installed keeps on saying NO SIM

I got new ipad air 2 - installed Carrier sim card, Ipad keeps on saying no sim found "NO SIM"
On call with Apple technicians this problem was resolved by resetting the network settings, but today again its showing NO SIM
Has anyone else encountered this problem

Chiming in from the US, it seems that a lot more of us are having this issue as well lately. My iPad has worked well under 3 OSs and I have never seen that NO SIM message until this week. I am running iOS 5 since it was released, but have not yet upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and all of a sudden, I see that NO SIM message pretty much all the time.
I have never removed my SIM or had any trouble with 3G before this week. It's not a big problem for me since I don't use it very often at all - not even on a data plan now - but it's annoying and not what I paid for. And if it happens to my wife, she'll be in trouble.
Apple folks, has there been any official acknoeldgement for this issue, and has it been properly elevated so it will be addressed? There are quite a few threads on this out there.

How long do iPad SIM cards last? My iPad keeps saying "No SIM"

HHow long do iPad SIM cards last? Mine says "No SIM", so I power down, then power up. It'll last for a while, then I get the "No SIM" message again.

There is no "expiration date" on a sim card, but they are a circuit card. They can go bad. Talk to your carrier about a replacement.

Hi dear!
I'm very disappointed with Apple products! I was 15 days without my Iphone 5, because it stopped working and the had to be replaced by authorized apple. Then i bought an iphone 5s in two days it stopped working. Doesn't read the sim card. I call to Apple suport and discovery that the model A1533 is not warranted in Brazil and need to be replaced, because there is a hardware problem. In a moment i don't have anyone Phone. Why Apple does not send other equipment equal to authorized to exchange my Iphone, because in Brasil doesn't have the same model? I liked a lot this Apple phone, but i can't use, i have one brand new, but doen'st work. I don't have anybody in USA to exchange in one Apple store. Please help me!
Thanks.

It has NEVER been possible to purchase an unlocked iPhone 3G in the US. Your phone was hacked. Updating it has re-locked it to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.
The phone is now useless to you. There is no legitimate way to fix this. Buy a new phone. Preferably in India.

HT201407 I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card. The instruction say to "slide to open" but I cannot open it! Please help!

I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card. The instructions say to "slide the back off" the phone but I cannot get it to open. Please help?

Huh...? Where did you get it? And what instructions are you looking at? The instructions do NOT tell you to slide the back off. The back doesn't come off. The Sim slot is on the right side of the phone. You use the tool that came with it or a paper clip to eject the SIM tray and put your Nano-SIM in it.

You're phone is locked to a carrier. You will need to contact the carrier you got you're phone from to have them unlock it.

Guys, I just upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios6, it took 2 hours get it installed. However asfter installing there are issues with activating it.
Its getting failed every time..."says the activation server is temporarily unavailable".
Tried activating via itunes but no respite " says No sim inserted".

No, I did not find a way to fix it. Went to Apple store to be told that the phone is dead and I would need to purchase a new phone. A little frustrated with the fact that it is Apple who caused the phone to not work!

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

On iPhone, SMS messaging is required to activate FaceTime and iMessage for use with your phone number. Depending on your carrier, you may be charged for this SMS.

Daughter reset my iphone 4 now it ask for sim card but phone dont have one

my daughter reset my iphone 4 now its asking for sim card but it don't have a sim card slot

Is this a 4 or 4s? What is the model number on the back? If its A1431 or A1387, it is a 4s, and does indeed have a sim tray. A1349 or A1332 will indicate an iphone 4.

How to insert sim card in ipad air

You should be able to use the sim eject tool (or something like a bent paperclip if you don't have it) to remove the sim card holder from its slot on its left-hand side so that you can inser the nano sim card into it

I have more than 1000 contacts in my etisalat sim card, but when I import the contats its stop at 750 contacts, what is wrong? i read the phone can carry thousands of contacts..what shall i do?

Thanks, it seems that it doesn't like to play games, which is a bit of a bummer as i bought this specifically because it was capable of doing that. To be fair, it is capable... I just need to get used to a sound like sitting by a washing machine on spin cycle... Wish they would make people aware of this in the Apple Store, its very misleading and not at all desireable.
