I finished the migration from an iPad 3G to the iPad3 4G using iTunes. Everything worked great. I only had to re-enter my passwords for the email accounts, WiFi, and other online services credentials.<\/p>\n

But this morning, once I was out of range of my house, the WiFi dropped and the iPad3 tried to reach my telecom 3G network. My Carrier network (Swisscom) was showing up as 3G but I kept receiving the “Could not activate cellular data network<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

1) On my initial migration from the iPad1 I used the Reset Network settings described below.<\/p>\n

The trick is to go to the Settings<\/strong> \\ General<\/strong> \\ Reset<\/strong> tab, and to select the Reset Network Settings<\/strong>. This will cause the iPad3 to reboot, but then the Carrier 3G network will work.<\/del><\/p>\n
