Q: My iPad says "No Service", why & what does this mean?

Turn Cellular Data off.

Settings>Cellular Data>Off

Try going to settings. Tap Reset, tap reset network connection, wait until the apple goes restart your iPad,. Back to setting tap provider and put in your network password.

The above i should add is go to setting, General, Tap Reset, tap reset network connection, wait until the apple goes restart your iPad,. Back to setting tap provider and put in your network password.

So simple! Thanks!!!!!

Thanks  worked for me.

Thanks much!!! It worked perfect , turned cellular data off!!! Back to normal!!! Perfect!!!!

Thanks for that simple but effective solution....it was quite annoying.

There are two types of iPads: Wi-Fi only, and Wi-Fi + Cellular. The former require a Wi-Fi hotspot in order to browse the web, get email, etc, while the latter can access the Internet from anywhere with cell service. It sounds like you have a cellular iPad, and you are either out of range of cell service or haven't signed up with a carrier. To get the No Service message to vanish, go to Settings and turn the Airplane Mode switch on. This will replace the No Service message with an unobtrusive airplane symbol, and may save battery life. You can always go back to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings and turn them back on even while Airplane Mode is on.

Alternatively you could sign up for service and have the convenience of accessing the Internet from anywhere. Then it'll display the name of your carrier up there instead.

Hi

Can you still use WiFi ?

Is it just you simcard that not working?

Go to settings & reset network settings after reset enter your router wireless key .

If you still have a problem press& hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see apple logo

This can take 30 seconds .

Also check with your network provider .
