    In the settings menus, is the carrier listed next to the word carrier and then the automatic button switched to on?

    Maybe they accidentally turned on airplane mode?

    Confusing, because you said the SIM works in iPhone. But iPad seems to have weaker ability to pick up signals sometimes than iPhone, in my experience with iPhone 4 and 4S vs. iPad 1 and 2, so maybe that's a possibility.

    I'm going to PM you a thread from another forum that has someone dealing with what sounds similar on T-Mobile. (I think it'd be against forum rules to paste it here.)

    Otherwise, any sign that the kids dropped the iPad? It could just be hardware failure, too. If so, I hope it's under warranty and you get it resolved.

    Could they have been watching YouTube or some king of streaming and maxed out your monthly allowance. I believe you lose 3G, but are still able to browse using GPRS which is what the o stands for. Edge shows E.
