Ipad Air 2 cellular/Wifi - With new sim card installed keeps on saying NO SIM
I got new ipad air 2 - installed Carrier sim card, Ipad keeps on saying no sim found "NO SIM"
On call with Apple technicians this problem was resolved by resetting the network settings, but today again its showing NO SIM
Has anyone else encountered this problemChiming in from the US, it seems that a lot more of us are having this issue as well lately. My iPad has worked well under 3 OSs and I have never seen that NO SIM message until this week. I am running iOS 5 since it was released, but have not yet upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and all of a sudden, I see that NO SIM message pretty much all the time.
I have never removed my SIM or had any trouble with 3G before this week. It's not a big problem for me since I don't use it very often at all - not even on a data plan now - but it's annoying and not what I paid for. And if it happens to my wife, she'll be in trouble.
Apple folks, has there been any official acknoeldgement for this issue, and has it been properly elevated so it will be addressed? There are quite a few threads on this out there. -
I erased an iphone on find my iphone , so i wanted to know what happened and I erased my without a sim card and now I says I cant go on it until i put in a sim card. Did i ruin the phone please help thanks.
You did not ruin the phone, you will need a sim card to activate the phone and then connect the phone to itunes and do a restore from back up.

Hi basically when i try download a app its saying sign in required ask for sercurity code for bank card and i put the correct details in and still saying its invalid? Can anyone help
Refusal of a card is based on information provided matching what is on file from your credit card provider. If it is refused, it generally means something is not matching. That can inclue the name, the address or other information. It has to be exact to match. If you check your credit card bill to make sure you are spelling the name correctly, the address is listed correctly, and yes, ST is different than Street, and it still does not work, contact iTunes support. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card. The instructions say to "slide the back off" the phone but I cannot get it to open. Please help?
Huh...? Where did you get it? And what instructions are you looking at? The instructions do NOT tell you to slide the back off. The back doesn't come off. The Sim slot is on the right side of the phone. You use the tool that came with it or a paper clip to eject the SIM tray and put your Nano-SIM in it.

Hi, my iphone could not be activated after upgrade it from IOS4 to IOS6, it shows that is due to activation server is unavailable and no sim card in the iphone. Anyone can help me please?
It is 99% hacked/jailbroken iPhone to use a different carrier than intended. You have to put the sim from the original carrier or ask them to unlock the iPhone. We as well as Apple cannot help you with this.

after instaling iOs5 on my iphone4 my sim card couldn't activate my iphone please help, after instaling iOs5 on my iphone4 my sim card couldn't activate my iphone please help
Where did you get the phone? If it was previously locked to a carrier and was hacked/jailbroken to use it on a different carrier, updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize and unlock.

I put in my SIM card and then it says so service, what do i do?
Everytime that i put in my sim card, it says no service. I can't call anyone or access my voice mail. I live in Trinidad so i don't have an apple store to go to. It was working perfectly fine until i updated my phone. My service carrier is Digicel but it is the same as AT&T so i would think it will work. But if i put in an AT&T sim card, it will work. Can someone please give me a suggestion to resolve this!
Installing a SIM card will never rectify the device being in recovery mode.
Put the device in DFU mode and attempt to restore it as new via iTunes. Google "DFU mode" for instructions. -
I inserted a working SIM card into my iPad 2. It picked up the network but later gave a message saying "No SIM". The Cellular Data control option is greyed out so I cannot get in to this function. I have tried removing the SIM and re-inserting as well as re-starting. This made no difference. Any suggestions why this is the case? I have tried the SIM in my iPhone 4 and it works fine. Thank you.
The SIM was taken from my iPhone. It is an extra line and was used for voice calls etc. So, it appears as though I need to get a dedicated data SIM. Appreciate the assistance..many thanks!
