Where to put sim card on the ipad 3 - Apple iPad 2 Wifi 16GB

My Apple Ipad Data plan expired. I re-activated but my Apple SIm Card now show expired. How do I fix this now. AmanStino 3 USB ports Car charger with 1 Type port AmanStino

It must be a G3 or G4 iPad. The sim is locked and you need a PUK. The puk was on a card with the sim that went in, together with the initial pin. When someone locked you phone to tablet, by entering the pin (for the sim) wrong, 3 times in a row, you can unlock it with the PUK.
If you can't find the PUK, goto a store of your provider. Sometimes they can give you the PUK and if not, they can give you a new sim, with a new pin and puk, and put your number on the sim.
That should be all.

This is a bug in iOS 8, and there is no solution for it, but I did find 2 workarounds you can try.
1. Buy an empty SIM card and put it in it. Most companies will give you a free one.

2. This is more complex, and it is from a post I read.

I waited to update my iPad 2 but finally bit the bullet & did the update last week. Lo & behold, I started getting the 'no sim card' popup especially while using the App Store (updating & downloading new apps), settings, & apps that required location based services. I read through this thread & searched elsewhere for a solution. After turning off most location services & going through every app (I have many) the problem still remained. Airplane mode worked but I wanted to see if I could fix the problem. Prior to updsting to iOS 8.1.3 & had 'reset all settings' not erasing data. This morning I decided to do it again. still keeping my data. When my iPad rebooted I got the 'no sim card' message once (which is normal) but so far (fingers crossed) it has not reappeared. I also noticed that it rebooted with location services off which I then re-enabled leaving all the defaults on. I have opened maps, the App Store & settings, along with various other apps & my iPad is behaving nicely. It is also snappier than before especially safari. Maybe there were some cache files or corrupted files leftover from the last install. For anyone still having this problem, give it a try before totally resetting your iPad as new.

If your Ipad is a 3g enabled option then go to the follwing link for instructions: Remove the SIM card from your iPhone or iPad instead of removing it you just put it in.

first:
are you sure you really have an iPad with SIM-slot?
Remove the SIM card from your iPhone or iPad

The most common reason for this is that the SIM needs to be taken out and reinserted. I put a link below to show how to do it. What it means is that their is a problem with your SIM card, and it might just be a lousy electrical contact issue, but it could be faulty too! You may have to contact Apple to get a replacement. Also, you must be in a country where that SIM is supported. Please read the following links.

Your iPad 2 must have 3G, with a sim card. For the sim you need the pin and after 3 misses you need the puk. The puk is on the letter or card that came with the original sim card. On that letter is the pin and puk. sometimes you have to scratch away the metal layer.

If you want to unlock an iPad, with the lock code on, and forgot your pass code you have to enter the correct password that belongs to your Apple ID. It will be partially on the screen. If you really messed up, setting up security, and lost unlock code and your Apple ID password. Only Apple can help. For that you have to take iPad, invoice, Prove of your identity (Passport) to the Apple store and hope they will unlock your iPad. With iOS7 Apple mede a very good security system. And while setting up the iPad and the security, you are warned several times what to do t make sure you and only you could enter the system.
Be aware if Apple does reset your iPad, all data now on the iPad will be lost.

1) you state the problem is with an Apple iPad 32gb Wifi Tablet. You will be unable to put a sim card in as this is not the 3G / 4G version.

2) Refer to the original product documentation.

3) Have you searched the manufacture website? There are online user guides on apple.com.

4) Use a small needle and press it in to the hole on the sim card slot. remove, insert your simcard and insert in to the ipad.

Nope, you actually cant insert a sim card in the blackberry playbook.
That is possible only in other tablets such as the Ipad.
sorry :)

It may be a case of wrong cutting of the micro sim. Since the iPad uses a microsim, you haveto make sure that the sim card is cut perfectly. Do not use a pair of scissors, you have to cut it specifically using a micro sim cutter. Or you can check if the placement of the sim card is correct. Sometimes, the card seems to get loose thus making it unreadable by the iPad.
