IPAD MINI cellular version cannot connect "China Telecom" EVDO network

I'm glad to recieve an IPAD MINI wifi+cellular(BCGA1455) from my GF as a gift, which she purchased from Hongkong and engraved my name.
But it's pity that when I put my "CHINA TELECOM EV-DO" sim card into IPAD MINI, it's failed to register. Then I put my "CHINA UNICOM" which is "WCDMA" sim card, it works properly, and it's OK with my another "CHINA MOBILE GSM" sim card
I checked from APPLE WEBSITE that the BCGA1455 IPAD MINI should support EV-DO network. Does any one have some clues? Many thanks.

It means that the carrier's network may not work well, if at all, with your iPad. Cellular data networks must meet a certain set of specifications from Apple in order to be fully compatible with their devices.
According to this page from Apple: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1937
Your carrier does not offer LTE for iOS devices at this time.

  • My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2  I can't upgrade to iOS 7.  Message displayed is "Verification of update failed because you are no longer connected to the internet."  This happens while I am connected to the internet.  What should I do?

    My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 which I can't upgrade to iOS 7.  Message displayed during verifying upgrade is "Can't verify upgrade because you are no longer connected to the internet". This happens again and again though I am connected to the internet through wifi.  What should I do?

    Reset the iPad and try again. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Reset your router and try again. Unplug your router from power for about 30 seconds then plug it in again.
    Try another WiFi Network. Go to a friend's house, a library, anywhere else that you can use a trusted WiFi network.
    Try updating using iTunes on your computer.

  • Ipad mini can send messages to android but ipad mini data only cannot, why?

    My husband has ipad mini data only, I have ipad mini cellular and data ( but I never buy cellular plan except for trips, so only use wifi)I have both updated to ios8 latest version.  I tested this: I sent ipad messages (using message app already on ipad) and  sent messages to my own iphone 6 and my husbands ipad and someone elses iphone and then to an ANDROID phone, and it worked perfectly ( gave me a code to enter to do it) but when I tried sending to android phone off of my husbands ipad mini, it did red error message saying not delivered.  same household, same wifi in same room, so I cannot figure out why his won't go through to android but mine will.  bought ipad mini's same year, same model except one(his) data only, but both use same wifi (home) what do I need to do to make his send those text messages? that is what is actually being sent, text messages from the apple message app on both.  please advise step by step and no I don't use cellular data on mine, just wifi). 

    text messages from iPad are actually sent from iPhone.
    on iPhone, go to Settings >  Messages
    if you have the same Apple ID signed in from other devices, you should  see a "Text Message Forwarding", tap and you will see a switch for other devices.
    1. so just make sure your husband's iPhone and iPad are both updated to the latest iOS 8.
    2. sign in iMessage from Settings on both devices with the same Apple ID.
    3. check the "Text Message Forwarding" option on iPhone, follow the tips given to complete.
    good luck!

  • My wife received a new iPad Mini for Christmas-- when connected to iMac, icon appears in iPhoto sidebar; however, there appears to be no option to "unmount." Also, unlike my iPhone 4S whose icon appears in iTunes sidebar, the Mini does not. Any insights?

    First open iTunes (version 11). Then connect the iPad. Now is it recognized?

  • CAN I RECEIVE MESSAGE FROM MY CELLULAR SERVICE PROVIDER IN MY iPAD MINI CELLULAR ?

    Hi Using iPad,
    Can I receive message from my cellular service provider in my iPad mini cellular?

    I Picked This Username wrote:
    Be aware though..
    If you send an iMessage to an iPhone that isn't using WiFi, they will be charged for receiving the message..
    The same goes with the iPad sending the message: if you are not using WiFi..
    That is incorrect. No cell carrier charges for a message sent by and received by iMessage other than any relevant data charges. The carrier doesn't even know the message is any different from an email message or any other standard Internet traffic. Only if the iPhone was not set up to iMessage and hence receives the message via SMS would there perhaps be a charge, and that will depend on the cell plan. The iPad cannot receive messages via SMS at all so there will never be a charge.
    Regards.

    Thanks.  Hadn't heard of it. ?  Is there any concern installing this free program on my Mac.    Have you used it?  Apart from being free is there any other advantage of Parallels and VMfusion. ?
    Virtual Box is safe and well developed, it offers similar or identical features to the paid competition, it may be a little less polished but that's all.
    Download and try it out, nothing to lose (except time).

    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • Will an iPad mini with retina display connect to a digital projector?

    Will an IPad mini with retina display connect to a digital projector for presentations?

    Yes, certainly. Depending on the projector's inputs, you'll need one of these adapters:

    i press restore then my ipad mini thr say cannot updated at this time because iPad software update server could not be contracted or is temporarily unavailable..how to solve it?

    Are you trying to restore via itunes or icloud? Which ever one you're doing, try the other.
    Its most important to make sure itunes is updated, any security software is disabled, and to try another usb port/cord (if using itunes on a computer)
