3G is not working after upgrade to iOS 9.3

Yesterday, finally 9.3.1 arrived and was immediately installed. Clean installaction. This time I selected my iPad As new. No old data or application were restored. Huge expectations. However, after spending all that time I realised that.......

Still no 3G, No Signal. No connection.

This time I have "No Comments".

Giving up on Apple, it's products and it's updates.

This worked for me too. I turned off cellular, turned off the iPad (waited a minute just to be safe), turned on the iPad and then turned on cellular. It worked.

When I then turned off the iPad with cellular on, I encountered the problem again. So the trick is to turn off cellular before you tutn off the iPad.

Yes, another new problem with the latest release. Turning off cellular. Turning off the iPad. Give it a minute or so. Turn iPad back on. Turn cellular back on. Fixed until you have to turn the iPad off again.

Thanks guys. This got me back online. Apple is really starting to make me mad with all the stupid stuff they are pulling lately.

2nd workaround worked for me. Thanks!

Hi...

After updating to iOS 9.3.2 Public Beta 1, the issue still not solved.

The mikeC second workaround solution worked for my ipad 2.

joining the growing number who have problems with 3G after upgrading iPad 2's to ios9.3.

IN my case I am supporting a large number of users with iPad 2 who are experiencing the same thing.

What should I tell them apple?

for me the fix was as follows:

turn ipad off

re sim card

tturn iPad on

unlock and clear the SIM card error

insert SIM card

all ll the seems to work ok, until it is switched off

apple need to sort the issue out for the older devices,as they are still used daily across the globe.

Thanks so much. this sorted me out at last. Did the Apple support advice twice and no luck. Taken me hours!

it's Apple's planned obsolescence. The "upgrade" just prior to 9.3.1 slowed my iPad down so much. Before i'd hit an app key and there it was. now I hit an app key and I never know it if registered. Useless piece of garbage.

Hi AKJ64 tried almost all the suggestions in this topic. It "worked" until I shut-down and re-boot then then it is "No Service" again.

How did you go back to previous version. Wasted enough time and until now Apple has not solved it yet.

Thanks ... Mike

Hi Mike,

Just follow the steps as given in this link http://osxdaily.com/2016/03/22/downgrade-ios-9-3-back-to-ios921/ , it worked for me, the instructions are for an iPhone but it works on our iPad 2 also. Just be sure to take a full password protected backup of your iPad data on your computer before you start. Hope it helps.

Hi All,

Most reliable solution I've seen - although I have moved on - was the turn

off cellular data - turn off iPad - restart iPad - then turn on cellular -

seemed to work reliably when I was working with my "old" iPad 2. I've since

upgraded, and I think others found that worked reliably for them.

Regards,

Trevor

i did everything on this thread and this one worked! thank you! i was almost desperate and upset because what's the point of having an ipad with a sim slot if you can't even use the internet from the sim card?! i know ipad 2 is old but mine still works perfectly and i'm not intending to buy a new one.

btw. sorry for the rant. after my 3G comeback there's a message asking "carrier settings changed. do you want to upgrade?" and i chose yes. i hope the signal will stay because i've read a few posts that say the signal will be gone again after a few days. finger crossed it won't.

thanks again!

It will probably fail when you turn your ipad off. Mine does every time.
