Restoring Lebara Service on iPad
Turn Airplane Mode on, wait 15 seconds, then turn it off. This forces your iPad to drop and re-register on the Lebara network from scratch.
Power off your iPad. Remove the SIM tray, take the SIM out, check the gold contacts for dirt or damage, then reinsert firmly. Power on and wait 2 minutes.
A full restart clears radio firmware errors that can cause No Service. Hold power and tap Restart. Allow 2 minutes for Lebara network registration to complete.
Visit Lebara's coverage checker or network status page to confirm there is no outage at your location. During outages, No Service affects whole areas simultaneously.
Go to Settings → Mobile Network → Network Operators → Search manually. Select Lebara from the list. This forces re-registration when auto-search fails.
An unpaid bill, spending cap, or suspended account shows as No Service on your iPad. Call 5588 (free from Lebara) from another phone or check the Lebara app to confirm account status.
As a final step before requesting a SIM replacement, go to Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPad → Reset → Reset Network Settings. After reset, wait 5 minutes for Lebara to re-register your device on the network.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my iPad say No Service on Lebara?
No Service means your iPad cannot register on any Lebara network cell. Common causes are an improperly seated SIM, a failed SIM card, an account suspension, or being outside Lebara coverage. Toggle Airplane Mode and reseat the SIM as first steps.
How do I check Lebara network coverage?
Visit Lebara's website and use the coverage checker — enter your postcode to see whether Lebara 4G or 5G coverage exists at your location. If Lebara shows no coverage in your area, No Service is expected.
Can a software update cause No Service on Lebara?
Yes — some firmware updates reset network preferences, remove APN profiles, or change preferred network mode settings. After any update, go to your network settings and verify Lebara is selected as the preferred network with the correct APN.
