I have the same issue- I have followed all the other forum pieces of advice namely: swapped sim, checked sim seat, soft reset, reinstalled the OS, reset network settings etc! Any idea whether the new OS bug fixes addresses this? I bought my iPad in New York, south africa doesn't have support yet so can't go to a istore?! Please someone help!

Problem remains after upgrade on 4.2. I've seen that some people got new iPad after they had same problem. But it was happened in US. Am I right?

IF it is any consolation I am also in SA I shipped my Ipad from the UK in Aug for R12000 and my 3G worked for about a month after which it stopped completely. I was hoping thatbthe new IOs4 would solve this but it has not - now I get the no SIM error. This is my second apple product and I am not sure I will buy another. with all my other techie products I do not have a days problems with Apple it never ends!!!!

I had the same problem just two weeks after getting my ipad2. Nothing worked until I used the eraser trick. cleaned the sim's metal face,using the eraser from a number 2 lead pencil. Reinserted, right side up, powered back on and working again. Best of luck!
