Ipad not subscribed to cellular data

After updating to iOS 6 my iPad 3 doesn't work anymore with 3G, it just says not subscribed to cellular data or something like that. It is in the right operator and shows even the signal levels for mobile network, I have resetted the network settings, turned the device off/on, no help or luck, still not working.

I have this exact problem on an iPhone 4S.  The exact message is:
Could not activate mobile data network.
You are not subscribed to a mobile data service
I'm on the phone to AppleCare as I type, waiting for a Tier 2.  The Tier 1 advisor had me reset network settings, to no effect, as you've already found yourself:
Settings>General>Mobile Data>Mobile Data Network>Reset Settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
His final advice, before I asked to be put through to a Tier 2 was to call my carrier (they're currently closed) and to perform a full restore.  The latter reminds me so much of the typical response back in Windows® XP days that I felt a little bit sick.
I'll post back here if Tier 2 come up with something better.  Please post the solution if you find it yourself.

    I have an iPad 2 and it does not display the cellular data button under settings.  It does display a Bluetooth button in its place. I have tried the reset but no luck

    Is the iPad the Cellular version? Does it have an active Data plan? Does it have a Sim card installed in inside it?

    How to subscribe a cellular data service in Iphone 4s

    If you did not edit the Cellular Data Network settings on your iPhone and you are unable to use Cellular Data Network services, try turning off and then turning on iPhone. If the issue persists, contact your carrier about the availability and provisioning of these services on your wireless account.

  • Internet is not working on cellular data after updating 8.0.2 in iphone 5s , wifi connectivity is fine , but no internet connection error message is start blinking even after cellular data is on , please help .

    I am using iPhone 5s , internet is not working on cellular data even after it is on , wifi is working properly . Please help apple team.

    Hello Mario:
    I'm actually surprised that Apple continues to push out 8.02 without addressing these issues. The problem will only anger more users and certainly finger-poking at Airplane Mode isn't the answer. This is an iOS8 code problem and no amount of 'resetting' is providing a reliable fix/solution that sticks.
    These issues with loss of cell connectivity, apps that have lost functionality, etc., which are all directly associated to the arrival of iOS8, are so widespread in the user community and pervasive within individual iPads that it's clear there are significant fundamental problems with this release. Given the problems are so blatant, it's fair to ask the question of how they got by the Apple validation team.
    What is the status at Apple on rolling out a fully V&V'd version to resolve this?  Respectfully, when it comes to some of my more useful apps, my personal iPad has become a paperweight. The user forums are full of these iOS8 complaints for several weeks and there doesn't seem to be a competent answer from Apple.  Even a "We're aware and we're working on it" would be well received.
    Any hope that you can provide will be appreciated. (I'll be monitoring the thread on my Dell laptop because, well, my iPad is i-Inop!).
    Thanks!

  • HT203175 when opening safari screen tells me i am not subscribed to mobile data service.In top left it tells me i am connected to 3g

    when opening safari it tells me I am not subscribed to mobile data.  This has happened to my I pad2 and I phone since downloading IO6

    No carrier "automatically" unlocks at end of contract - many won't do it at all, even if requested.  I don't know what your carrier's policy is since you didn't say what country you're in.
    However, if I understand you correctly, you didn't change carriers so it doesn't matter if it was unlocked or not. Try the following steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons for at least 19 seconds until the Apple logo appears
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    4. Replace SIM card (don't care what Telstra says)
    5. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    6. Take phone to Apple.

  • HT5163 where do I get a SIM card tool for iPad 3?  My cellular data doesn't work now that I downloaded iOS6.  Instructions are to remove SIM card and then reinsert and it SHOULD work.

    Where di I get a SIM card tool for iPad 3?  My cellular data doesn't work now tht I downloaded iOS6.1.  Instructions tell me to remove SIM card and then return.  Will that work? Verizon tells me it's an Apple issue.

    I did that but was intimidated.  With your adivce I was more aggressive and it popped open. And I removed and replaced.  It works.  Thanks!

  • How do you find the iPad phone number for cellular data?

    How do you find the iPad phone number for cellular data?

    I know this post was a long time ago but people still seem to be viewing it.
    Quickest way:
    Via the iPad on 3G, go to http://m.telstra.com. The service number is then displayed and you are given the option to recharge.

    Hello berkshireds,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone only connecting to the Internet when connected to Wi-Fi. I recommend following the steps in the following article to assist with your cellular data connection:

  • Since upgrading can not turn on cellular data on iPad 3

    I just upgraded my iPad 3 to the new iOS and cellular data is in off position.  It will not let me move or set it to on.  Has anyone had the same problem?

    No, have you tried restarting or resetting your iDevice?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    I see you have good coverage in Australia for Internet ...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_Australia
    I'll assume you don't have Internet Service at home, so ... first you get that. Then you hook up a WiFi router to the service in your home. Here's Apple's router. I believe you have your own Apple Store in Australia; this is the U.S. store.

  • Push notifications are not working on cellular data

    Hello Everyone,
    I am using iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4. I am receiving push notificaitons only when connected to Wifi and not when connected to 3G cellular data. I have enabled push notificaitons to all apps but I dont receive them when phone is not connected to Wifi. Is there anything I need to enable/activate to receive push notificaitons on cellular data?

    Hello Rangaswamy,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Understanding notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
    Troubleshooting notifications
    Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
    Note: Notifications use Wi-Fi only when a cellular connection is unavailable. Firewalls and proxy servers may affect your ability to receive notifications. For more information, see Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
    If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Verify that the app supports notifications.
    After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
    Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • My Ipad wont remember my cellular data account Information

    My cellular data account keeps saying my password is invalid. So I have to restore IPad 2 back to factory settings and reset password. But next time I try to log in, same thing. Information invalid. Help ! Why does this keep happening?

    I had the same issue.  According to my 3G provider (Verizon), you don't have to restore your iPad to factory settings, only your cellular password.  Go to Settings -> Cellular Data -> View Account.  When the window loads, tap Forgot Password and follow the instructions to reset your password.  This worked for me.

  • HT1976 how to not use up cellular data on iPhone 4s

    My cellular data is almost used up for the month and I don't know why because I have been Using the wifi from in my home

    When the phone sleeps and wifi is then turned off (automatically), the cell data channel is used to communicate.
    To avoid this, Settings>turn on airplane mode, then in wifi, turn on wifi.
    I believe WiFi will stay on if the iPhone is plugged in. So, that's another option.
