"No Sim Card Installed" error

The ATT guy removed the SIM card, took the little tray and bent it slightly so the SIM card sticks up a little. I think best way to describe is graphically.

Hope this helps

I got an iPad Air and just got a SIM after 5 months and it doesn't see the SIM. I swapped with wife's iPad air, still it don't work 😕 I even tried swapping the Trays and slightly bending as above with no success. Oh well off to the apple shop I guess.😢

(Both iPad Air and not iPad Air 2... Wife's is 12 Months old and had the SIM from New, My iPad is 5 months old never had a SIM until today)

Kinda S**ks if you don't find out till the warranty is up. lucky me, I think? ℹ

to correct this problem turn your airplane mode on, then click on the cellular data setting. Next turn the airplane mode back off, the no sim icon will go away. Good luck

I just tried the "bend the SIM tray" fix and it worked for me.

This fix just worked for me. Let's see if it holds up.

Hi there. I'm not sure if mine is an ipad 3 or 4. I purchased it ~ Jan. 2013. Anyway, I've had a battle trying to get the "NO SIM" message to go away. One minute it was fine and the next.... no network. So I read all the stuff in the discussions to no avail. Finally. I plugged it in, put it in airplane mode and then popped the Sim card out. That worked! Just popping the SIM card out wasn't working. I can't remember if I had Wifi on or off as I was trying different things. Try it both ways. Good Luck!

Having attempted various ways to get sim recognised I plugged the ipad2 into the mains, then popped the sim and stuck it back in with the ipad switched on ... bingo ... rebooted after unplugging from mains and seems fine now.
