No SIM card installed iPad mini error after iOS8

I too updated 4s to ios8, and have been getting No Sim Card Installed prompt message all the time. I too only use wifi all the time and no sim installed. But never get this prompt in ios7.

There are many other things that break too:

- stuttering animation

- battery draining

- browser could not open live video (previously ok in ios7).

Hope apple get it fixed.

I too have this problem. I suppose I could, as a work-around, get a cheap prepaid SIM with some data on it.

Other solutions would be very welcome.

I have exactly the same. In iPad2

ppossibly Apple is trying to force users to get a SIM card. I have no use for one since I use wifi. Would be nice to be able to enjoy my IPAD without this irritation. No one seems to have the fix

I'm also getting this error on my iPad. I had no trouble in previous iOS. I run my iPad with no sim and with airplane mode enabled and wifi turned on. I'll be looking at some app or browsing online and up pops the error message. Tried rebooting and enabling/disabling airplane mode but no joy.

Turn off Cellular Data in Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data and you should not get the message.

I was hopefully this would work, but as pointed out, the setting is greyed out. With Airplane more on or off, I'm not able to enter this setting's area. Maybe I'll have to try a temporary sim swap if my phone card fits just to try this.

APple seems to have many problems right now....in hardware and software too.....it's not worth any more...

I took the SIM card out of my iPhone and put it in my iPAD. Then I disabled Airplane Mode and went into the Cellular settings and turned off Cellular Data. I restored Airplane Mode, and enabled Wi-Fi and took the SIM card out. Over one daddy of using the iPad, I 'feel' like I don't get the No SIM card message as much, but I still get it some. So this isn't the whole solution.

I solved the issue on my 1st-gen mini (on iOS 8.0.2) by telling Siri to "turn off mobile data" and now it just says "iPad" in the status bar, instead of "No Sim". Hope this helps.

Yes, that's what I suggested on October 5.
