Hi Susan,

If not connected to a computer with iTunes running you have to enter the 
corresponding APN data manually.
Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > APN

I found I had to do this with my Telstra Pre-Paid micro-SIM card as it had not 
activated while connected to iTunes before I had to leave on a trip.

So In  Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > APN I typed "telstra.iph" 
(without the quotes).
Check with your provider what the APN settings are.

Cheers
