Q: My Ipad 2 recognizes my MTNL Micro sim and connects me to 3g network easily. I put the same sim in the latest ipad 3, it always gives error as "sim failure'. I did all the work such as putting correct APN, restarting the ipad etc. Still why this problem?
I do have this problem with new Ipad3.
I used Ipad 2 3g with mtnl,Mumbai as carrier. The sim I used have not given me any problem as my Ipad immediately recognized and connected me to internet.
Recently i purchased I pad 3 3G. I have inserted the above micro sim to this ipad. It always gave this message as " Invalid Sim".I have the the following to correct the problem
- Put the correct APN under cellular data.There is no need of user name or pass word
- Restarted my I pad after putting the APN
- Taken out the sim from the tray and reinserted it later.
- Checked whether I got the latest carrier version
- Turned off wifi
- Switched on and off cellular data
I know that the sim is not locked because the same sim is working in my telephone as well as ipad2
Now the SOS to my community members please....
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 5.1.1, MTNL Mumbai Sim
