IPAD2 Toronto Sim Card Sharing Bell

I have an ipad and I am going to stay up till 1am and buy the hubby an ipad 2. Now to get to the question. I have a Bell sim card in my ipad. Does anyone know if I can take mine out and place it in the ipad 2 and he's good to go after setting it up? I already have an existing data plan but I only use wifi. I called Bell and get this, they had NO clue. The gal I talked to says if you pay the bill, it doesn't matter who uses it. huh? I am not talking about sharing.
Also, those of you in the states that ordered online, did you have issues at 1am? Was it too busy or? I have no desire to stand at Best Buy on my birthday to get an ipad for the hubby. I love him but...

I believe Bell Canada ties the sim card to the IMEI number of the iPad. You can transfer ur sim to the new iPad 2 but you will need to call Bell Mobility so they can update your new IMEI.
Regards

Will my ipad2 3g sim card work on the ipad3

Hello:
The only definitive answer for that question is from an Apple employee. I suggest you call an Apple store and pose your question.

ABOUT IPAD2 WIFI +3G SIM CARD

I wanna buy a iPad2 wifi + 3G from Canada Online Store, I'm wondering, is this iPad can use a Chinese SIM card, or it's only can use a Canada SIM Card such as Roger, Bell?
Thank you!

You'll have to see if any carriers in Chile use CDMA technology. Contact the major carriers in your area and ask them if they are CDMA.

IPhone 3S was used with Bell, then unlocked to use with Rogers. Now I want to use it as iPod (Don't want to activate as phone),but when connecting to iTunes I'm getting message: There is no SIM card, disconnect and insert new SIM card. Help?

I have an old iPhone 3S, that was used with Bell. My friend lost her phone and I lend her this one, which she unlock to use with Rogers. I got it back and want to use as an iPod not the phone, but when I connected to iTunes I am getting this message: "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please diconnect and insert a SIM card".
I went to Bell and Rogers where we tried inserting active cards but message never changed.
On the phone itself I am able to get wifi but finish with "Your phone could not be activated because the activation server is temporary anavailable."
I run diagnostic from iTunes:everything is working properly, only message out of normal is "iTunes is not running in safe mode"
How can I sinc this phone with iTunes, so I can use it to lisen to music?
Any help will be apriacieted

I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

My phone was jailbroken but connected through Bell after I bought it. Recently (today) I upgraded to 4.3.4 and now have no date or phone - SIM card not recognized. Any ideas ?

Not really sure how this works, but here goes.
I bought an IPhone on EBay over a year ago.
3GS.
I found out I had to have it jailbroken since it had already been connected to AT&T.
I did that and hooked up to Bell and it has beens working fine ever since.
Today, foolishly, after phoning the Apple Store and being told it was perfectly OK, I upgraded to 4.3.4
Now it does not recognize the SIM card.
Is there anyway to correct this?
My own stupidity.
Thanks
Ben

They don't need to Restore it, you have already done that. Why would you want Apple to Restore it again?
If you are wanting them to roll it back to a previous iOS version that could be jailbroken, no they will not do that.

HT1430 iPad2 is no longer recognizing that the SIM card is installed

My iPad2 is no longer recognizing that the SIM card is installed. I keep ketting a "NO SIM CARD" message even though the card is in the slot. I've tried switching on and off, resetting and removing and then reinstalling the SIM card. Any ideas?

check with your service provider, may be there is a problem with the sim card, if yes
get a replacement sim or see if you can borrow one from someone just for TESTING purpose it it works

HT201328 I have paid Bell to unlock my old iphone4 and they have said it is now unlocked. Can I skip the back up and restore process and just buy another carriers sim card from my daugther Kodoo plan, install it and active the iphone4 on itunes account in

The process is as follows:
Backup the phone, Erase it, connect to iTunes for the unlock process, then your iProfile can be restored.
You can go ahead and get the SIM, bout you have to Erase the phone and connect to iTunes before it will be unlocked.

What is the use of sim card in ipad2 wifi +3G and how to use it?

Use the SIM card to connect to the cell carrier 3G network when there is no wifi available.

how to solve this problem. I don't have any sim cards that came with iphone.
Please help out to solve this problem.
It sounds like the phone was hacked or jailbroken, and updating it locked it to the original carrier. As it is not possible to update to any version other than the current one (5.1) the fact that you updated to 4.1 pretty much confirms the phone was hacked. There is no solution that you can get in an Apple forum.

I have two phones, one (4S) with Bell in Canada, the other (5, soon enough) with ATT in the US. Since I spend more time in Canada, I'd rather the 5 up there. Can I swap the sim cards? Neither phone is unlocked.

iphone 5 will use nanosim instead of microsim so that one won't work
you could check you with carrier to see if they will give you another sim though but I dunno if the ATT 5 will have the right data bands so you might not get LTE or w/e

Could my ipad2 connects to the Internet using SIM card or USB Modem?

Could my ipad2 connects to the Internet using SIM card or USB Modem?

If you have a 3G iPad, it can connect to the internet using cellular data. As the iPad has no USB port, you can't connect a USB modem. You can use what is called a MiFi, though. They connect to cellular service and create a personal WiFi hotspot.

Ipad2 sim card slot

I bought an ipad2 (WI-FI + 3G 64GB) at a Verizon store, to use in another country. The ipad2 cost me 906 $ (including tax)
Once back to that country and at my surprise when trying to activate the ipad2, there was no slot for the micro-sim. Some apple community people told that Verizon does not use sim cards.
I feel cheated !! Why do I pay a full price for something which is limited to Verizon.
If I knew about that I would have definitely changed my mind and bought the device elsewhere !.
My Ipad2 is now worthless since i don't need a 3G iPad2 to be forced to use it as a WI-FI only !!
I sincerely expect a real explanation and a helpful solution from Verizon
Can anyone help me with this?
I've already send this "inquiry " to Verizon but unfortunately I haven't received any feedback

I'm accustomed to Apple products (such as iPhones, and ipad 1) which I bought before, also, in different countries and i've not encountered such problems.
It's Verizon's responsibility to bring such a detail into the customer's attention, since the standard Apple products do have micro-sims slots. I'm no a Verizon products' expert, and I'm not supposed to be. If Verizon sells a "modified " product it has the moral and the legal obligation to bring it into any customer's attention.
Thanx
That is your opinion, and you are of course, entitled to it.
When I purchase something, though, I like to make sure that I am getting the correct product for me. I make sure to ask questions about how I will be using the product, or do research about the product which I am purchasing. Especially if I am travelling abroad and bringing this item back home with me with the knowledge that I WILL NOT be able to have access to the store where I purchased this product.
Obviously every possible way an item can be used cannot be described when you are speaking with a salesman. If you are going to be using the item in a way which is out of the ordinary for this product or establishment, i.e. purchasing the product and immediately leaving the country to use it abroad, that responsibility is up to you.
That is me, of course, and my opinion.

I have just upgraded my Ipad2 to the latest operating system and on restarting it is some foreign language and is asking for the sim card number when I don't have a sim card. What do I do?

Two things:
1. Make sure the SIM card is enabled for data.
2. Make sure you are using the correct APN settings, in Settings - Cellular Data.

I bought an ipad 2 from other country and wanted to get a 3g network to work on my ipad 2 in US but it doesn't seems like my ipad2 is supporting the Sim card pls help

When I went to AT&T they put the sim card into my ipad2 but nothing seemed to happen. He said at least it should display "AT&T" at the top left hand corner but it didn't appear.

Do you active the cellular network yet? setting > cellular > view account
