I am having an issue where when i have a sim card it says no service

I have an ipad 1st generation 3g and wifi model, it is running ios 5.1.1 i am having an issue where when i have a sim card it says no service, now i tied all the methods in the apple forms like the airplane mode, the turn cellular off and the restore but it didnt work. In me settings under general and about  carrier says not available and cellular data number is not available, also when i go to the cellular data section in settings there is no view account option. Last but not least when i remove the sim card it keeps swtiching from no sim to no service and that doesnt make any sense but maybe someone can shed some light on how to fix this, & no the ipad was never opened

If it is showing No Service when the SIM is in there, have you contacted the cellular provider the SIM is from to ask if the SIM is valid? Have them check your account? Since you have restored the device, then I would question the carrier next.
