Q: No Service on Ipad 2 GSM 3G after IOS 8 Upgrade?

Same problem in Greece. Nothing of the above proposed solutions is working, only if you disable the automatic network then you can extend the period that the Ipad2 remains connected. I sent an email to Apple and not reply at all. Tragic

In Czech Republic the same problem,  I have iPad 2, iOS 8.0.2, temporely solved by connect iPad to iTunes or Reboot ipad.... It's horrible

Same in Belgium, uzing Mobile Vikings / Base provider. Hard reset pushing home and on/off button brings back mobile connections, but it gets lost when the ipad2 tries to get WiFi.

I discussed the issue at the Apple store in Valencia/Spain while I was there, but they sais it's probably related to my provider. Year, sure.

No Apple store in Belgium.

HEllo, Apple ??

I Fixed this problem!!!   Turn off FindMyIpad. My service returned as soon as I turned off Find My IPad in iCloud settings.

I Too am having same problem here in South Africa but what happens is every time I reboot the iPad the service comes back! But after a while again it starts to say...no Service. Then I have ton rep rebooting.  I tried what someone said here about switching off the FaceTime.   Let's hope that works.

Same problem in Canada.  No solution yet, but definitely an ios 8 update problem, not a carrier issue.

Prepared to try anything new to avoid having to do a full reboot several times a day since upgrading to 8.0.2.

My only surprise is that there are not many more people reporting the frequent drop of mobile data services as I'd expect most to experience this problem with an iPad 2 and a SIM card.

GIven that that there is no point having an iPad with SIM card for when you are out and about unless the mobile data connection is reliable then it is disappointing that at the very minimum Apple hasn't acknowledged it exists even if they are still working on a solution.

Unfortunately for their customers it is quite apparent that Apple do not care about the issues. If they did then we would have had at the very least an admission that there was a genuine problem. I know that people state that Apple don not participate in this community, but they do check to see what is going on here as another member had a post pulled over the VPN issue in IOS7.

come on Apple, let's see some support for your customers.

I Have the same issue. Have tried all the previous suggestions with little effect. I have a choice of Samsung or Apple with work. Have switched and unless a solution is found will not come back to my iPad.

I Find a solution. Problem is a conflict between compass gps and 3G. Try to turn off/on compass localization, service restart without reboot.

Check settings --> iCloud --> iCloud drve  and switch off use of cellular data (or mobile data)

SInce i did this (more than 4 days now) I don't have the problem anymore.

COnnection issue on ipad mini retina. With LTE enabled no net anymore, without very slow net, only E but never 3G. Update to 8.0.2 does Not help

I have got the same problem as all of you. iPad2 3G with at&t as carrier and I upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 and now I'm constantly loosing my cellular data 3G connection... I have tried everything mentioned in this support group, but it doesn't solve the problem..... The only thing which works, is to power off my device and then it connects to at&t 3G netowrk again, - for a while, until I close the cover..... Not good enough at all.

I'm now so dissatisfied with apple and all kind of issues which never works with new updates etc. that I seriously consider to drop iPad and iPhone and go to Android and by a Samsung phone instead of a iPhone 6. I might consider buiyng a Windows Surface instead of a new iPad....

apple must do better in the future and Tim Cook and his keynotes only stating only how good apple is.....sounds somehow quite hollow..... and very predictable and too boring...... there is no exitement any longer... Come on apple, - you can do better.....

Hi guys... same issue for me... and apple ignores us... I've make a video...

i think that we must heavy share it to have more visibility.. wishing apple remember us... ... no this ins't the right face... this is the right one...

Turning off the FaceTime iphone cellular calls seems to be working for me. I had some weird issues with FaceTime just after I first installed ios 8: automatically came on, ipad answered my iPhone, said I had a missed call with no way to reset. It might be worth the effort to go through the settings and turn off other apps that use cellular data until you identify the offending one(s).
