No SIM card installed keeps popping up

I've done that and all of the other suggestions. Where is a response from Apple on this. Nada, zero, zip.... This is not a user issue, It's a bug.

See my response to your first email on Dec 3.

Then tell Apple, no-one here can do anything about it for you.

This solution worked for me! Thanks!!

HEWR's solution reduces the number of "No sim card" messages, but does not eliminate them all.

I don't get this at all. This has been going on for years.

1. I bought an iPad mini with GPS & cell data because I wanted GPS, not cell data, but hey, that's Apple. I dealt with it.
2. I never had a SIM card and don't want a SIM card.
3. It worked just fine until one IOS upgrade, I cannot remember which one, at which time I started getting the "NO SIM Installed" message.
4. I have tried all of the varied and imaginative suggestions on how to get rid of that message with no success.

Apple seems to have ignored this issue for years. Can they please, in some near future update, provide a way to turn off the message.

1. I know I don't have a SIM card, believe me!
2. I am deeply disappointed in Apple's total disregard for what has been a long term issue.

exactly this. And fyi it started with iOS 8.0, it was never a problem with any iOS version 7.x or earlier

this morning I updated to iOS 8.1.2, and I've already seen a couple No SIM Installed messages. So still not fixed in 8.1.2 !

Let me add some complications.

i Have these sim card errors with ipad air and mini who only have wifi, no sim possible. Yet i get these errors too each time i start the ipad.

cheers

Hey Yorye have you updated to 8.1.2.

If no please go to

settings>general>softwhere update

and install the current update

Updated to 8.1.2 today.

Got the No Sim message FOUR TIMES already since that.

So I am inclined to say that Apple - true to their colors - still does not give a &§% about it and still is interested in only one thing: making MONEY!

I am sick of them sad clowns

I Bought this from Apple 11/2012. SN: DLXJR0NGF19C

ok can i advise something ?? with out people telling me how to do my job ??

ok lets start with this

1. where are you from ?

2.do you have a simpily mac around your area

OK, so hopefully this will be my last post in this matter ...

Yesterday I had a chance to visit one of those phone shops in next bigger city. I told them about my problem and the fine folks provided me with a shiny new Nano SIM card, free of charge! They said it's one of their spares and it would actually work if I activated it with the provider.

I put it in and ... the first thing that came up after a reset was: NO SIM CARD

What ???

Cellular was still "off" and it also said "No SIM".

I asked Siri to turn Cellular on. She said she did, but now it's still off, just greyed out and still saying No SIM.

BUT: I have gotten the dreadful Popup only twice more yesterday and not yet today. Wich is way wayyyy less than it used to be.

So even if this might not be the perfect solution after all, it's good enough for now.

I did all I could do, really.

Now it's really up to youknowwho to wise up and do something about it.

Airplane mode is the only thing that solved this for me. Can still use it with WiFi.

Simplest way ever, just hold down the Siri button and ask it to turn off cellular network And it does even though it's greyed out in the menu.

Sorry, but Siri does not understand "Turn off cellular network", and neither do I for that matter.

And if you mean "Turn off cellular data", Siri will tell you it is already off. Whether it is On or Off does not affect the "No SIM card" message.

If you have an iPhone, take the sim card out and put it into your iPad. You will now have access to Mobile Data settings: turn off Mobile Data in Mobile Data settings.

The 'No Sim' legend in the top left hand corner of your screen should now read 'iPad' and all should be well.

Hope this works for you.
