IPad Mini "No Sim" Message

Greetings everybody,
I have an iPad mini on Verizon.  It's worked like a champ for the first few weeks.  All of a sudden, I started getting the "No Sim" message.  I've tried all the usual stuff - rebooted it, reset network settings, hard reset, etc...  I have even totally wiped it.  Finally, today, I went to a VZW store, and they gave me a brand new SIM card.  Unfortunately, this didn't solve anything.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks for any help!

    Thanks for reaching out to us, jfazizzle!
Since you have already had the SIM replaced and did a factory/hard reset, please let me know if you have a case on the iPad Mini.
I have had other instances where people removed the case and that resolved the issue with No SIM Card error message.
I look forward to your reply.

  • Using iPad mini nano sim in iphone 6

    I Currently have an iPad mini with the unlimited AT&T data plan that I'm grandfathered in for. The screen recently cracked, and I was thinking of getting the iphone 6 plus without a contract or SIM card....and then putting my iPad mini nano SIM card into the iphone 6 plus....and using it like I do my iPad mini....for data only.
    will this be possible? will it recognize the iphone 6 as an iPad mini? I don't want to use the iphone 6 as a phone. Just want to use it as an iPad mini replacement.
    THanks for any and all comments.

    Incorrect.  The phone requires a SIM card to activate, after which the SIM card can be removed in order to use it like an iPod Touch.  See this:

  • How do I change my iPad mini's SIM PIN when I cannot remember what the original PIN was?

    I went to enter a new PIN so I could lock my iPad's SIM card and was asked to enter a number. At some point, I must have entered a number already, because I got a message that I had entered the wrong one.  I can't seem to choose the "change PIN" option, probably because I can't recall the original one. How to I change the SIM PIN? What happens if I use up all my chances at entering the PIN and don't hit on the correct one?

    Thank you for the reply.
    I have one chance left to enter a number and then I will be locked out of
    4G service.  So, I have not tried 1111. What will that number do?
    When I log into MyVerizon, it does not offer "view all" as an option under
    My Device. Instead, under My Device it only offers the following:
    My Device

    There is no place I can find that provides with a PIN or PUK. I have tried
    clicking on all the options listed above.

  • 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 nano SIM works in my Nokia mobile phone but "No SIM" when in my iPad mini

    I've been around the support loop a few times with varying levels of success, here is my story.
    Basically I expect to only occasionally require mobile data services so would like to move my nano SIM from my Nokia mobile phone to the iPad mini as and when required. I have a 500Mb data allowance on my current contract with Vodafone UK which I never use but would like to access with my iPad mini.
    The first time I tried it worked! I never tried to surf using it but it registered with Vodafone UK OK and had a good signal level. The second time “No SIM” or “SIM not installed” popup at bootup.
    Now irrespective of contracts, tariffs, data plan etc I expect the iPad mini to recognise there as being a SIM present every time and never give “No SIM” except of course when there isn’t one physically in the thing.
    Playing along to support and forum suggestions I’ve done a couple of device resets (software reinstalls) and various setting resets. But still “No SIM”.
    I’ve also spoken with Vodafone UK and am investigating whether this is in fact some restriction where they’ve restricted the technology so SIM swapping is not allowed. My Nokia E51 is not locked as have had it years.
    I just cannot get past the “No SIM” message though!

    Do have the details as to why that is?
    The single time it recognised the nano SIM and showed as being connected to Vodafone UK I tried to ring it to see what would happen, it just rang out until voicemail picked up but nothing happened on the iPad mini whatsoever.

  • How to connect my ipad mini wifi without a SIM card

    How do I connect my ipad mini cellular to wifi without a sim card

    If it says there is no sim card installed it either can't find one physcially, or the card moved and lost contact or has failed.  A new sim card can be obtained form your Mum's cell/mobile carrier if needed easily.
    However this is irrelevant to whether or not the iPad can join a Wifi network.  Its 2 different things.
    For now ignore the Sim card message and just try to connect to her Wifi network.  It is independent and should function regarldess of the sim card status.
