Ipad Air isnt detecting Sim Card

7/1/14
Yesterday my Ipad Air was detecting the sim card and today I turned it on and on the lock screen it said "Sim Card not installed" even though there is a Sim Card inside it
How do I make it so it detects the sim card?

On the top left hand corner of the ipad it still says "No Sim''

  • I purchased n iPad Air without the SIM card possibility...I am going to exchange it.  Which SIM card or company should I use as a carrier?  Only using for travel.

    I purchased the iPad Air without SIM card capability.   Only time I would use this is when we travel 4 weeks per year.   Is it worth returning while I still can gan get that capability...if so which company is the most flexible?

    Some carriers will allow you to start up and use a plan for a month and then either have the plan go dormant or be deleted. Each carrier may have their own rules about this.
    The first thing to consider in selecting a carrier is to determine how good the coverage is in the area you will use it most. Then look to the details of the various plans.

  • Ipad air showing "no sim" card

    My ipad air is showinf "no sim".  It did this once before.  I turned it off and on and was fine.  This time the problem persists.  Any solutions?

    Try a Hard Restart first: hold down Home and Sleep till the screen goes dark and a white Apple logo pops up, release buttons and allow to restart.
    Else power down (hold Sleep till red slider appears, slide to right), take SIM out, clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol, reinsert.

    There is no way any fellow user here can know anything specific about your repair status.  You will need to call Apple and ask them yourself.

  • Ipad keeps giving "no sim card" alert, why?

    But: the iPad keeps giving me the alert "no sim card" every few minutes! I cannot play a game or browse because this alert window keeps popping up.
    I KNOW there is no sim card inserted!
    How can I stop the iPad doing that?

  • Ipad 2 has no sim card tray!

    i don't see sim card tray in ipad 2 model A1397.
    can apple replace it?  i bought it on apple online store!
    may i ask for replace online? there isn't any retail stores around

    Verizon iPads don't have SIM card trays because they are CDMA devices, not GSM. As to whether you can exchange it, you'll need to discuss that with the place you purchased it.

  • HT1349 Where do I go on the iPad to activate the sim card?

    Where do I go on the iPad to activate the sim card?

    The SIM card should already be activated.  To turn-on cellular data, go to Settings-->Cellular Data and turn it on.  Once its on you can sign up for a monthly data plan on the same screen.
    If you are getting a SIM error about it not being active, or it just won't turn on,  you'll need to call your carrier (ATT or Verizon).

    Unless you have the WiFi+Cellular iPad there is not a sim card.  You can only use a sim with cellular equipped iPads.

  • BlackBerry Z10 Second can't detect Sim card

    Hi All
    I just bought a Blackberry Z10, secondhand from people I met from Internet
    The Blackberry is still kinda new, used only for a month. And I got it pretty much cheaper
    But the problem is, this Z10 can't detect sim card (yes the previous owner been telling about this before. She said its happened after she's upgrading the software)
    So, I bought it, and re-installed the software (10,2 - 10,3 - even back to 10,1) still not working.
    I'm trying to search the similar issues on Google, and found that it possibly because the simcard reader is broken
    I check the simcard reader, I'm not really sure, but yes, seems there one pins missing on there. I saw only 3 pins on my Z10 simcard reader. Haven't seen any other Z10. Would you mind to check your Z10? How many pins on there?
    And also, does the warranty will cover this issues if I claim it? I mean, it seems because human-error (previous owner might put the sim card not really carefully).
    If not, how much it cost to fix it and change the simcard reader part? Well think I'm not gonna gambling anymore to buy a cheap gadget in the hope I can't fix it by myself
    Thank you for help!

    Hi Aliarroughi
    Z10 I have a 3 sim card reader. there seems to be damage to your z10 sim card reader. try to correct the sim card reader price only $ 25

    If you want to use the 3G cellular data service - you need a sim card. If you just plan on using WiFi, then it doesn't matter.
    The 3G cellular service allows you to connect the iPad to the internet in areas where WiFi is not available. You do not have to install the sim card in order to use the iPad as long as you just use WiFi. You can always purchase the service later if you don't want it right now.
