Why do I ger a "NO SIM" on my ipad2 3G?

I got my iPAD2 updated to iOS5.1 and now it won't read my simcard... I tried to use another microsim but still it won't just read it... does anyone here have the same issue?   have anyone knew how to resolve this?

Pop out the SIM tray and re-seat the SIM card.   99% of the time that will do the trick.

  • Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Check the right and left sides of your iPad for a small hole the size of a paper clip (remove your smart cover if you have one).  If you see this, then you have the wifi + cellular model.  If you do, use a paper clip to remove the sim tray (or the sim removal tool that came with your iPad if you have it) as shown in the image below. 
    If the tray has a sim card in it, push the sim tray back in to re-seat it in the side of the iPad, then turn it on to see if the error message re-appears.  If it re-appears, take it to a Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
    If you have a sim tray but it is empty, you'll need to go to a Verizon store to get a sim card for it.

  • I just bought a second hand iPhone 5, but the sim tray seems to be for a sim sized ~14x8mm, thinner but longer than a nano SIM (~12x9mm). Can anyone explain why, and how to get a SIM to fit?

    You would have to ask the person you bought the phone from to explain why.

    If you want to use the 3G cellular data service - you need a sim card. If you just plan on using WiFi, then it doesn't matter.
    The 3G cellular service allows you to connect the iPad to the internet in areas where WiFi is not available. You do not have to install the sim card in order to use the iPad as long as you just use WiFi. You can always purchase the service later if you don't want it right now.

  • TS3274 Why does my iPad say " No SIM " in the upper left corner

    Why does my iPad say " No SIM " in the upper left corner ?

    Hi Edwardtracey,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have a cellular data plan and there is no service where you currently are.
    The article below will explain this feature and how to turn the setting on/off.
    The article has more details and screenshots, but I've quoted highlights below for you:
    iOS: About the Cellular Data setting
    Cellular data is used for data communication in cellular networks. It does not affect your ability to make or receive phone calls or to use Wi-Fi networks for Internet connectivity. If you turn off cellular data, you will be unable to:
    See the cellular data icons in the status bar (for example, LTE or 3G).
    Send or receive MMS messages. However, you can still send and receive SMS and iMessages if you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    Retrieve or listen to new Visual Voicemail messages. To retrieve these messages, enable Cellular Data.
    Use Personal Hotspot.
    You can adjust this setting by going to:
    iPad: Settings > Cellular
    Additional Information
    You can also enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS features from this setting:
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • TS3989 Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and pictures taken after have ,but some won't

    Why will some pictures not stream from iphone4s to ipad2,pictures taken before and after transferred ok but some won't.Any suggestions

        1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • Why cannot I use Jianyi chinese input on the ipad2?

    Jianyi input is actually more popular than Changjie input, I don't know why apple won't incorprate jianyi input into the ipad2?

    Nobody here can tell you why it's that way.  You should tell Apple exactly what you want  via

  • HT1365 why does having a telstra micro-sim  stop me from being able to access my home wi-fi which is optus?

    when I first bought my ipad 3 cellular + wi-fi, I did not get a micro-sim card. I only used my home wifi that is from an Optus broadband network.
    It worked perfectly without any issues, good strong signal and fast internet.
    no worries
    Then 3 days ago I bought a micro-sim, from Telstra and inserted it and activated it.
    It worked perfectly too, from home and everywhere. But I have plenty of download on my home network, so I want to switch away from my pre-paid Telsra month-by-month simcard  to getting my internet via the Optus wi-fi.
    But it no longer works.
    I can no longer get a signal from my home wi-fi network.
    The wi-fi is still working for other devices in the house.
    I have tried resetting the netowrks to get it to find and recognise the wi-fi again.
    It does find it, it does recognise it and allows me to join, but the top corner of the ipad screeen says "No Service", and then shows 3 bars of the wi-fi netowrk signal. !!
    Do I need to remove the Tesltra micro-sim to get the ipad to recognise the home netowrk?
    That doesnt seem right.
    What am I missing?

    Connect to a router via web browser from another device, open "settings" -> "wireless"( sequence and title of menu depending on model and manufacturer of your router) and try to change wireless mode to 802.11N or if this mode not accessable, to 802.11g mode only. Save this settings( router will reboot) and connect Ipad2.

  • Why does my iPad say No SIM card installed?
