Why does my ipad2 say no sim?

I bought my iPad online and have been using it for about a month with both wifi and 3G. Why am I suddenly getting a msg in the upper left corner that says no sim?

There may be a problem with the SIM card, or the SIM card is not seated properly.
Have you tried removing and re-inserting the SIM card - with the iPad powered off when doing so?

    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!

  • Why does my phone say no sim card?  How do i fix?

    I dropped my phone and now it says No Sim in the upper left.  I cannot use the phone.  how do i fix?    

    This happened to me recently. I had to turn the phone on and off twice. I also had to press on the top of the frame of the phone where the sim card is. My issue actually happened when the phone had not been dropped. Good luck.

  • HT4528 Why does my phone say invalid SIM?

    My phone says invaild SIM. I cannot text, call, or connect to the internet!!! What is the problem??

    Yes, All iPhone 5's have SIM cards... regardless of carrier.
    Remove and reinstall the SIM.
    If the issue continues, get a replacement SIM from Verizon.
    FYI, Verizion uses SIM's in all there LTE devices.

  • Why does the iphone say no sim in activation screen when i have inserted the the iphone original sim

    i have bought a atnt locked phone, i try to activate it but it says no sim.when i insert the atnt original sim, nothing happens and it still says no sim. What is the problem with it? can a activation sim be used twice?

    What is the problem with your sim tray? If you tried to get your sim out using something and accidentally scratched the sim chip, your sim chip is broken and it is not free to fix. On the other hand if other sims work, you can call AT&T and ask for assistance from them.

  • Why does my iPad says no sim instead of saying iPad on the top left?

    Try taking the SIM out, blow in the hole, and then put it back in.

  • Why does my ipad2 say it has headphones when I've never plugged any in?

    I was using the iPad earlier, set it to sleep mode (whatever you'd call it) and picked it up a few hours later.  I tried to watch a YouTube video but there was no sound.  I turn the volume up and it was saying " headphones".  I'd yet to use headphones with this week old toy.  I checked the port and it is clean as can be.  I plugged headphones in for the first time and yes they work, but the speaker won't.  What's up?

    I thought I'd add an update.
    I am typing this in on my new ipad2.  I made an appointment at the genius bar at the Apple store. It stumped them.  They replaced it, was supposed to take 5 days but got a call 3 hrs after I first went in with the problem.  It's nice to have a 100% functioning iPad again.  These things happen.

  • Why does my iPad say No SIM card installed?

    When I plugged in my ipad to charge a message came up that said:  No SIM card installed.  Is this OK?

    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.

    Why does my ipad say i cant make anymore applie ids or an i cloud account abd how do i get an account HELP please !!!!!

    Hello, I had the same problem (repeatedly) until I did this, it works!
    Remove sim, very very lightly rub the sim card's contacts (the metallic parts) with a standard pencil eraser. I suspect its just a micro-residue from the manufacturing process interfering with complete contact.

    Hello,
    Where may I be able to contact and speak with a prepaid representative? Strictly through phone calls? (I am at work 12 hours a day)
    And I apologize for posting in the wrong area - I saw Apple support so I went here.
    I'm almost certain my phone is the problem. I have gone through resetting the network settings a dozen times on my phone, even did it on my dad's. Now my texts are beginning to do the same when I text my fiance.
    Resetting the network settings DOES work -- the problem is it will work for a day or two or for only a few hours - then I'll have to do it all over again.
