Hi and welcome to the Forum!

I take it that you have a sim card in your iPad? Do you have Cellular Data turned ON? Look in Settings - Cellular Data. Has your sim card been activated? Do you have wifi inside your house and could your iPad be connecting to this? Look at the top left of your iPad and what do you see here, if it's using your sim it will say 3G, if wifi it will have the wifi emblem which looks like a small radar. (that's the only way I can think to describe it)

Hi,
I have a sim card which shows 3G . Also have wifi at home.
When inside if I turn of wifi still I can work on 3G . But if I take it out it turns to E. Although bsnl has strong network in my area.

There may be something obstructing you that your getting E (Edge) Try turning your Airport mode on and off to force your iPad to reconnect to 3G....
