Hi All,

I recently got a celluar ipad 12.9 (m1) and ive noticed the 5G is disconnecting/turning off if the iPad is not used for a short while. When I look in mobile data it shows foreign networks until I turn airplane mode off and on then it reconnects.

I have tried resetting the network settings but this made no difference.

I wondering if it could be a faulty sim card, Adguard Pro or a faulty iPad causing this?

Regards

I’m wondering if it’s the SIM card, maybe it’s not officially an iPad sim. Bought it on Amazon it’s got unlimited 5g for 3 years Lol
 
It’s an EE UK unlimited data sim. I guess I can live with it as it works after airplane mode off and on. Can’t see any settings to change. When I first go into mobile data it has foreign networks and says add data plan

Faulty sim or faulty Modem. Take to an apple repair center
