    Remove and re-insert SIM.

    If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

    Thanks for your advise,

     

    I have removed the Sim, and i have also replaced it with a new one,

     

    But problem persist,

     

    The issue now is that my Ipad 2 is out of warranty, bought it in Mrach 2011

     

    I am not sure of an Apple repair office around here, and i am worried if its something that they can even fix

    Apple does not fix devices.

     

    Out of Warranty replacement would be the only option.

     

    My iPad is not eligible for warranty service.  What are my service options?

    Apple offers two service options for iPads that are not eligible for warranty service.

    1. Battery Replacement Service

      If your iPad requires service only because the battery's ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, please refer to the Battery Replacement Service information.

    2. Out-of-Warranty Service

      If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.    

       

      iPad modelOut-of-Warranty Service Fee
      iPad mini$219
      iPad, iPad 2,
                iPad mini Retina      		$249
      iPad 3rd, 4th generation,
                       iPad Air      		$299
           A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
                     

      Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.

      Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPad is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. Replacement iPads have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see the AppleCare+ for iPad and Apple Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.
