iPad How exactly do I activate cellular data on my iPad?

[venividivigor]

The sim card is in my iPad Air and I don't know how exactly I can activate it?

1). Go to SETTINGS
2). press cellular data
3). Turn ON cellular data
4). It will prompt for initiation of service. Have a cc/debit card handy.
5). Enjoy!

Yeah that's what I thought, but a window pulls up and says the service isn't available...

Try turning off WiFi and then trying. If this is with T-Mobile, you have to have WiFi off.

If you had WiFi off while getting the error, try turning it on.

I get nothing

When I go to View Account in Settings, I get prompted with a window saying this "This option is not available for your service profile. To view the latest products and services from Bell, visit bell.ca" ?

I would try opening the bell.ca website on your iPad browser. It should give you the option to sign up for a data plan through that website. If that doesn't work possibly has a bad SIM and bring it into a bell store.

I don't know anything about Canadian providers, but that error sounds a lot like the SIM isn't provisioned correctly for an ipad.

How did you get the SIM? Already inside a brand new ipad, a new unused SIM obtained from Bell or elsewhere, a SIM borrowed from a phone, something else?

I'd suggest first talking to Bell, ensure the SIM is provisioned properly on their side before being concerned about the ipad.
