Yes, its a valid AT&T SIM, went to AT&T store a couple days ago. I got my Ipad 3G back in June, had some reception issues, but then all of a sudden everything was fine by Aug/Sep... Now, after the 4.2.1 upgrade, the problem is back.
Could this be an antenna issue?

Sounds like hardware to me. As I've said before, there is noting in the jailbreak which interferes with the 3G / Baseband on the iPad. There is just no reason for it.
To be clear, if you do a clean 4.2.1 restore and nothing else, does your SIM work OK?
I will be amazed if the act of jailbreaking is introducing the issue...15" MacBookPro with Retina Display 16GB 3.4GHz i7 256GB | iPad4 WiFi 32GB 6.1.2 (evasi0n) | iPad3 4G 64GB 6.1.2 (evasi0n) | iPad2 3G 64GB 5.1.1 (redsn0w) | iPad1 3G 64GB 4.3.3 (jbme) |

Thanks for the info. I have a Genius bar appointment tomorrow. As long as I restored back to "new ipad" 4.2.1, I shouldn't have any traces of jailbreak, correct?
Will post up info gained after genius bar visit.

Have you tried setting up the iPad as a new device, i.e. not restoring anything?
I used to have a similar issue where 3G would simply not work. Got the iPad replaced, but after restoring, 3G stopped working on the new iPad as well. The issue clearly was on the software side.
As a result, I lost all data, as the backup rendered 3G useless, but at least 3G works now.
Here is a quick test you can perform: Reset the iPad via Settings, if it is a software issue, the SIM should connect to 3G.Last edited by DontUnderstandMyIpad; 03-04-2011 at 10:47 AM.

FINALLY, my 3G works!!! Went to the apple store, they gave me a new iPad and popped in the my card, and 3G is back.
Thanks for all the help on this thread. I tried everything and knew more about how to resolve this issue than the genius.

Btw, it was a hardware issue, not related to jailbreak or 4.2.1
