Hi my name is Kim, and I have joined the Apple iPad forum to find out if anyone can help me with a problem I am having with my iPad.
When I try to connect to iTunes or the internet, I get a message saying 'Could not activate cellular data network' I have a Telstra 3g micro sim card & it is a pre paid $30 a month access. I hope someone can give me some advice.

Thank you
Kim

Welcome Kim!

No advice about your problem, may have better luck asking in the "iPad help" forum....

Hi Kim,
Did you get this one sorted, I had the same problem at first, I had to put the carriers name in APN settings in the cellular network.
Settings> cellular data> APN settings> APN> carriers name, (in my case 3 services)
I am with 3 and have been very pleased with the coverage.

Hello do you have an apple store in your area? I had a similar problem and went to the store and they did something to get it working. I would tell you what they did but I honestly don't remember. I the they took out the card put it back in and did a re-boot
