Q: I have Air Wifi 4G. I can't connect to carrier networks.

Only 'iPad' appears on top left corner and it's not searching for networks. If i turn on cellular data, the network appears but i can't utilize it, I can't send messages nor access the internet.I've reset the network settings but still can't connect. There's no problem with my wifi connection. Is this a hardware problem?

iPad, iOS 7.0.4

    Hey there micolim,

     

    It sounds like your iPad is not allowing cellular activity but the Wi-Fi is working without issue. I would recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:

    1. Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
    2. Restart your iPhone.
    3. Ensure that your software is up to date:
    4. Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
    5. If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
    6. Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrierto report the issue.
    7. Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    8. Restore the iPhone as new.
    9. Contact your carrier to:
      • Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
      • Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
      • Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.

    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
