No Sim on ipad2/5.1

My ipad2 has "no sim" problem. Reset, erased all/restored new, new sim from AT&T with no luck, any suggestions. The problem started after updating
to 5.1 This seems to be a common problem after reading several posts on this board.

Hi pvitrano
I m from Turkey. my iPhone is legal 4s and same problem as like your I had yesterday.
Now I'm using 64 bit micro sim card and before updating ios 5.1, My phones system was ios 5.0.1 and it works properly but after updating 5.1 4s doesn't recognize sim card and appears No SIM.
I made a research about this problem and if we change our 64 bite micro sim card to 128 bite micro sim card this problem will be solved.
Now I'm asking apple why should I change my 64 bite micro sim card to 128 bite micro sim card ? Because before updating 5.1 it was ok after updating not.

Ipad 2 3G SIM

Hello everyone. Can anyone suggest the cheapest pay as you go 3G SIM for IPAD2 if I take it from UK to USA? thank you!

The only supported carrier for the GSM iPad in the U.S. is AT&T. You should be able to check out their website.

IPad 3 64gig wifi with 4g - Bell

I transferred the sim card from the i2 to the new i3, but cannot activate the service. My account does not even show up.
The new sim card from Apple has not arrived yet. Wonder if that will fix the problem?
Any help appreciated

I received my Rogers Sim card this morning (but my iPad failed to get to me on time, thanks to the fine folks at UPS!). I can't tell you if the old Sims are supposed to work on the new iPad since I won't get the unit til Monday... but the Micro SIM card I received today is definitely different from the one for the iPad2. It says "Micro LTE SIM card" on it so I'm pretty sure the new iPad is not compatible with the sim your iPad2 had.
Hope this helps.

I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G. My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy. We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sim chip...we are told. An Apple store employee here said this model is good only in the US. The iPads here take a sim card. We were advised by an Apple Store Employee at home that this model would work in Europe and that we could buy our service here. That does not seem to be the case. We have been told that we must invest in a modem at 200.00€ and then purchase a separate service plan for each country. We can use the free wifi wherever it is available but we cannot connect to the outside world when out of range. Is there anything else we can do?
Thanks, John

Unfortunately, no other solution is available.
Hope this helps

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

I have a uk ipad2 with 3G and am going to the USA I want to get a micro sim from AT

I have a UK ipad2 with 3G and am going to the USA. I want to get a micro sim from AT&T so that I can use 3G in the USA. My question is that I know that I will need to sign up for an AT&T account on my Ipad.
Do AT&T accept foreign credit cards so that I can do this? I only have a european Visa/Amex credit card.
If they don't, is there any way that I can purchase a dongle in the USA and use a USB adaptor on my ipad2?
I appreciate any feedback - i have spoken to loads of people from Apple and AT&t but noone seems to know the answer.
thanks

You need a US credit card with a US address.

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.

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?

i have to apologize up front for the cheeky response. but i just couldnt resist. if your ipad is speaking in tongues. i would call a priest and perform an exorcism on it first.

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.

Ipad2 no sim error

I have an ipad2 3G which was never locked. I have been using it with my local telephone operator but after updating to ios5, the error "no sim card found" keeps popping up and I have to restart the ipad several times to make it recognise the simcard. The warranty has just expired but this is annoying for a fairly new device. Does anyone have a solution, i have tried to reinstall the software but that does not help?

Me too. Airplane mode on and off worked for a day but now nothing. Think faulty sim reader so basically we're screwed.

How do I fix issue with no sim installed on ipad2?
