My iPad has a SIM slot but I don't see any cellular settings in settings. I don't understand, does it mean it's a wifi only but what's the use of a sim slot. Can some help please. It's iPad 4 iOS 10
iPad, iOS 10
You need to activate the cellular data with your carrier first.
Did you open the SIM tray and check if you have any SIM in there?

Thank you. This indeed is a iPad (4th generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular. A few months ago Apple published an update for these legacy iPad models that required to be updated to in order to continue using cellular data. If an iPad was not updated by the given date, you would have to fully restore the iPad to factory settings in order to use cellular data.
Hello,
Could you please post a photo of the location on your iPad that contains what you are referring to as a sim card slot?
What is your iPad’s exact model number?
Settings > General > About
It's South Africa, iPad 4
Perhaps I should have asked in greater detail, please post a photo of where you see this SIM card slot (its physical location on the iPad).
I also need your iPad’s EXACT model number.
Model number MD522HC/A
I did restore to factory settings but still doesn't work.
You also need a valid data SIM from your carrier, it's not the same SIM as for iPhone.
Note: Without a valid SIM it will only function as a Wi-Fi only iPad.
Thank you, I have to check on the valid SIM then
But now, why is it that the cellular settings are not there?
Have you inserted an active SIM card?
Yes, it is an active SIM card and it works when I put in my phone
See the reply from ckuan above regarding a data SIM.
Thank you very much
You're welcome.
