My iPad doesn't have cellular data
Sometimes, iPads feel like taking a day off and refuse to connect to carriers. Fortunately, we can fix that.
Before we begin, please make sure the following criteria are met:
- Your iPads are charged and powered on.
- Your iPads are connected to school (or home) WiFi.
- Your iPads have a label on the box or their backs, indicating which carrier it belongs to.
AT&T
iPads automatically connect to AT&T when connected to WiFi. If it doesn't connect after 5 minutes, please get in touch so we can resolve it.
Verizon
Verizon iPads are a little more tricky, and require extra steps to resolve.
- Send us a ticket, explaining that your iPad doesn't have cellular.
- We'll derestrict your iPad so that it can connect to Verizon.
- At this point, the iPad will not have any content filtering or protections. Please do not distribute it to students.
- In Settings, tap on Cellular in the left-hand column.
- Tap on the Activate cellular plan... button on the right-hand side of the screen.
- When prompted, scan this QR code:
- Your iPad will begin connecting to Verizon.
Should your iPad fail to connect to Verizon after following these steps, please reach out to us as this is a problem beyond our control.
