Q: "No SIM" on iPad 2 after upgrade to iOS7

I can't believe that several dozen iPads all have a SIM card reader malfunction at the same time and coincidentally right after they upgrade to iOS7.  Is Apple doing anything to rectify this situation?  I want my iOS6 back!

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.2

    He just clenead with a soft cloth. And blew a little inside. And it started tow ork. Bad thing is it came back two days later. I dont know what to say. Apple dont want to investigate this it seems. iPad 2 is a bit like Windows Xp for Apple, they dont get rid of it :-)

    I tried restoring several times with no luck. I cleaned my sims card..no luck.  I went to get a new sims card and still didnt work.  After several days and several attempts at different things I gave up.  I ended up getting a replacement ipad 2 since my company paid for it. 

     

    This is very frustrated since my ipad worked perfectly until the upgrade. I know its a hardware issue but Apple blamed it on the hardware.

    You know how you're suppose to troubleshoot the obvious first?  (Like plugging it in, etc.)  Turns out, I hadn't done this.  :-)  My SIM card was deactivated and without a data plan from AT&T.  The message "No SIM" was the misleading problem...


    I was able to fix this by checking the status of my data account with AT&T from my computer and ordering a new data plan.  Here's how:

     

    1. Put your "No SIM" iPad into Airplane Mode.
    2. Go here:  att.com/ipadlanding (from your iPhone or desktop/laptop computer)
    3. Login with your iPad AT&T account (normally accessed via Settings > Cellular Data > View Account which no longer works because "No SIM").
    4. Purchase a new data plan from AT&T.
    5. Wait 3-5 minutes.   (This way, AT&T updates their network to say the SIM is legit again.)
    6. Turn off Airplane Mode in your iPad.  Within a few seconds, mine was working again just fine.

    I went to ATT and got a new SIM, same issues others were having, I can get it to come on sometimes, others not.   It does appear Apple is completely ignoring this issue

    Thanks for the help, this totally fixed the issue. Seems that if your data plan is not currently active the sim card is shut off. I think the software update allows it to be shut off  making it appear that there is no sim card in the iPad.

    previous fix by removing card,disabling services,resetting network settings only worked for few days. Then I read article that if upgrade is available for your OS,do it only via iTunes connecting to computer via cable.

    I got notification about next available patch,connected iPad to computer and downloaded upgrade. Problem fix immediately.
