Is there any way to DISABLE the "could not activate cellular data network" message?
This message frequently pops up while I am using any GPS app and travelling - as I enter an area with no Data coverage it appears, forcing me to respond by touching the 'OK' button. I simply want to disable the message. I know when I'm out of a coverage area. IT'S TEMPORARY! Why do I need to respond? If I am using my phone as a GPS device while on my motorcycle, wearing gloves, I CAN'T respond!!!
If you're talking about the balloon tip that appears in the tray area, I don't know of a way to disable it for just Acrobat, but you can for all programs by modifying the registry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307729

"Could not activate cellular data network" message after ISO 4.1 update
I updated my iPhone yesterday just like millions of other people, but since the update was completed, I haven't been able to use the data network. Wi-Fi works without any problems, but when I've been out of the house yesterday and today, I haven't been able to establish any connection to the data network and have received the "Could not activate cellular data network" message each time. Is anyone else having this issue too? So much for a flawless update.
Hi,
This happens to me everytime I do a f/w update but for me its for a simple reason and is easy to fix.
I am using a non iPhone Contract SIM in my iPhone and as such is does not like the default iPhone contract APNs for cellular data, hence the message. These reset when you do a f/w upgrade.
I have to go into Settings/General/Network/Cellular Data Network and set the APNs (for data and MMS) to ones given to me by my provider, in this case O2 UK for a non iPhone SIM/Contract - all is then well.
Perhaps you are in a similar situation ?? It shuold be easy to resolve by checking the APNs for your SIM against the ones in the iPhone itself. I found mine by Googling for iPhone O2 APNs. In fact in the end O2 published the setup on their website.
Hope this helps.

Could not activate cellular data network message
I am on Vodafone UK and mostly have my phone on 2G mode. I get good EDGE coverage 5 bars but I am intermittently getting "Could not activate cellular data network" message. The settings are correct, as it sometimes works, 3G data is fine over the same APN. A Blackberry connected via EDGE seems to work fine.
Vodafone insist its not an issue with the Network, as I work for a contractor with them I also had the radio side of things checked and all seems ok. Now it could be a core network issue, SGSN or similar, or its bug in the iPhone firmware. I never had this issue prior to iOS4.
Anyone else, specifically having any problems with EDGE/GPRS? I would be interested to know.I had this problem at 1st with t-mobile 3g
connect it to itunes and it will say carrier update click accept on itunes that sorted it for me -
Ipad 2 "Could not activate cellular data network" message
Ipad 2 "Could not activate cellular data network" message after I updated to iOS5 despite the 3G network being displayed on the menu bar. How do I resolve this, folks?
There have been some threads with similar problems. One I recall was a user not being able to sign up for cellular service from Verizon after an update to ios 5. The problem seemed to be on verizon's end. If Verizon is your carrier call Verison to find out when they will have a fox for this problem.

"Could not activate cellular data network" message on iPhone 3GS (iOS 4.1)
May this year I purchased a brand new iPhone 3GS 16GB from Vodafone on a 24mnth plan with 2gb of data monthly for mobile and tether use. The 3G and normal gsm data alwyas worked in areas where it was avalible until 3 months ago. In safari i would get a message stating that "Could not activate cellular data network" and in all apps no internet serivces worked unless wifi was activated.
I put my sim in my n95 and my 5800 and internet worked on both. I got my number put onto a new sim card. I restored iPhone. I updated iPhone to 4.1 and reset all network settings.
Nothing worked and apple came to the conclusion that it was a faulty handset and replaced it on saturday. Today when I woke up, the same message appeared!!!!
Please anyone help
Message was edited by: r.spiroskiI am having similar problems.
My network settings are correct and I can communicate both over 3G and WiFi.
However, every few minutes the connection is being dropped. A few seconds later it's back again. I can see this in an application I am developing. It's rather frustrating...
In the console I see this message prior to the connection being lost and rebuilt:
"Mon Sep 20 09:44:58 PeterVs-iPhone-3GS configd[23] <Notice>: network configuration changed."
I have not changed anything to the configuration. What's even more strange is that I ONLY have 3G at this moment, i.e. WiFi is disabled.
What is changing the network configuration? And why does it mean that the current network connection needs to be torn down and rebuilt? After the network is back, there is no difference than before. So it gets torn down and rebuilt for no apparent reason.
I have logged a bug with Apple over a week ago, but haven't had any reply from them yet. I need more information about what is happening, and how I can prevent it. I'm not very happy having to grope in the dark, having to make guesses because somebody decided that he knows what's best for me.
This is happening on multiple iPhones with multiple different OS-es. So I am guessing it is related to my carrier (Vodafone). But I can't verify it because I'm not getting the tools from Apple. -
Could not activate cellular data network iPhone 6
I bought a launch day iPhone 6 and I've been having trouble with my carrier, MetroPCS. I use MetroPCS on the GSM side of the network and for some reason at least three times a day I get the "could not activate cellular data network" message. I've tried everything from getting a new SIM to restoring my iPhone. I don't think it'd be my iPhone because I've used other SIMs in it without a problem whatsoever. Any suggestions to keep this from happening? my iPhone 5S never had any issues with the carrier, I've had MetroPCS's GSM side network since it was released.
Hello espi_will,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble with a cellular data connection. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls and random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational, and it does not matter whether wifi is on or off. ATT went through the standard protocol - resetting network, resetting sim card, etc. No changes. Other phones working fine in same region with same carrier. Apple's solution is to restore software, but haven't gone there yet. Anyone successfully addressed this/these issues?
I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.

Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service"
"Cellular Data Plan Usage…There is no data remaining on your current plan. Would you like to add more data now?"what im going to do whit this problem??I have done that and it is definitely on. My husband has the exact same phone and I upgraded his IOS at the same time, but this problem is not happening to his phone (we are also on the same plan, so our service should be the same). Our settings appear to be identical and my phone is showing the 3G symbol at the top, so I can't understand why it won't access the network.
I've turned it on and off twice and have reset all settings with my iTunes account, but it still isn't working.
I'm not a complete idiot with this sort of stuff - I have tried all the obvious things. -
I am getting an error message with my iPhone whenever I try to access my data with no wifi. It says "could not activate cellular data network". This just started today and has never happened before. Did I change a setting or something?
Hello, romac12.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I have experienced this issue before. If there have been any changes to your cellular account such as adding a line, plan change or upgrade, more than likely there is a provisioning issue on the carrier end. However, I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below. If the issue persists, see step 9.

Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.
All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

Could not activate cellulare data network??? what is the solution please.
everytime i try to log to the internet through the internet service provider on the phone, i get this message (could not activate cellulare data network)
I was loginig before via wifi meanwhile i do not have wifi and i am forced to use the service provider internet.
What should I do , I tried the soft, hard reset as well as the restart with no sucsses.
any advice???I had the same issue "Cannot Activate Cellular Data Network" sometimes says "No Internet..or You are not subscribed to a Data Network". The phone works fine on WiFi.
I noticed this issue only yesterday when tried to access my emails via 3G Data, this may have started happening when I recently updated to 4.3.2 and my phone has never been Jailbroken.
I found a fix that worked for me..I'm using T-Mobile Germany.
Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings>enter Pin code if you have lock enabled>choose Reset Network Settings..
Remember doing this may also erase known WiFi networks, so you may have to enter the details again to get connected to a known WiFi network.
My 3G data started to work again after I did the above steps to default factory network settings.
T-Mobile Germany wasn't much help at all. All they could tell me was some crap about my config was in the wrong contract, Duh??
They probably did nothing to fix the issue and I suspect the above resets steps resolved it for me. Give it a try..
Cheers!! -

Apparently, no one pays it... That's why they shut off your service. -
