The one that I received didn't come with the sim card to connect with AT&T.; I had to go to AT&T; to get one.

This one definitely is the I-Pad 4 w/ Retina Display but it is not the AT&T; or Verison ready I-pad that you can broadcast off of without it being in a wifi hotspot. What I wanted and did is this.... You can call AT&T; and turn a phone of yours into a wifi hotspot, so that this I-Pad will work with AT&T; which is what I did, because it comes out cheaper and also it allows me to braodcast ballgame info out to parents via wireless through it, for the ball games that I attend. But as far as this being a AT&T; or Version already setup ipad....It is not and I did not go that way because it was actually more expensive to do it like that.

To have an At&T; feature on your IPAD is to give you the capability of establishing a data plan with AT&T; which allows you to access the Internet when you are away from home or when you do not have access to a wifi access point like at Starbucks, McDonalds, etc

The one I purchased is completely unlocked, and is working fine with a TMOUS SIM card. This device won't work as-is with an iPad. You'll also need to set up a wifi enabled router capable of accepting a 3G modem, and you'll need a data plan for your SIM.

Yes it does. (with AT&T anyway). It is a smartphone, so most carriers will require a data plan.

It's unlocked as it has no service but I could not just choose a carrier I wasnted to youse only AT&T; and or another I was with Version and had to use a WiFi hotsot, only the ipad 4 4G is truly unlocked. Hope this helps...

The description doesn't state a certain carrier or if the SIM card is locked or unlocked. The SIM card basiclally has all the information to connect to a cellular carrier and most big U.S carriers' SIM cards are locked, i.e Verizon or AT&T. If it is unlocked you can use any carrier. Supposedly, if you buy the IPad Air from Apple and no carrier is stated, it is unlocked. However I bought an IPad Air through Amazon with no stated carrier and it was locked to AT&T so I had to use AT&T's service. Which was no big deal and easy to do and their monthly rate was about the same as my carrier Verizon. Usually the IPad is cheaper if it doesn't have a stated carrier.

I don't remember doing anything special, but our iPad is an AT&T; version and I noticed that you appear to be using an iPad using the Verizon network carrier. I did go back and checked settings under 'Cellular Data' and we have 'Enable LTE' set to "ON" to support faster data loads. Something elese you'll have to do is touch base with Verizon to ensure you have an account to which the iPad can be mapped/tied to. It would show up as an additional phone number on your account even though you don't make or receive calls via your iPad.Hope this helps.

It is not necessary to buy the cellular capable model unless you use it in a work environment where you may not have access to WiFi. You also have the option to turn you iPhone into a hotspot and connect the iPad via Bluetooth or WiFi to your phone to access the internet via cellular service.

No. You will have to purchase a Sim card and data plan from your cell phone provider. This will be in addition to your cell phone plan even if you have unlimited data.

No. This is only wifi connection. You can connect via wifi in anywhere. This Ipad do not have sim (gsm carrier) option.

Apple 16GB iPad has both inbuilt wi fi and 3G. 3g enable you to stuff the internet on the go with a subscription from a cellular providers like ATT or T-mobill

It is said (by Apple) the new iad 4, coming latter in November (not the mini, the iPad 4) has more 4G choices. Go the Apple Store site and get info.

I think it means that you can access a wireless plan through AT&T.; This is usually a monthly few and will allow you to use your iPad without being connected to wi-fi. However, you can turn off your 4g and only use wi-fi at no extra fee. I hope that makes sense and helps!

No, but u can download the phone version on the iPad I figure is because the purpose of the app is to have your pics on the go and iPad is not really on the go if you think about it,many people have only the wifi kind I have both but never crossed my mind spending the money in a data plan for the iPad knowing that I have it on my phone but the phone version will do the same thing. Anyway I hope that helps

Yes. Take it into your carrier to get a SIM card. Don't upgrade your plan if you have unlimited data.

Don't purchase any iPad that is enabled to use any of the wireless carriers. An AT&T enabled iPad will not work with Version, and vice versa they have two different and incompatible wireless systems. Save your money and purchase a WiFi only iPad then go to what ever wireless carrier you are using and purchase a MiFi card, they also sell these on Amazon. With the money you save you can purchase a 128 gig iPad Air, or use that on a MiFi Card. These are a wireless WiFi router. Your iPad connects to it just like it does with your home network. You can connect up to 5 devices on them iPad, laptop etc. If you purchase the MiFi card outright you can then purchase some really great no contract data plans. All of the carriers have MiFi cards. If you purchase your MiFi cards,which gives a no contract deal you can have one for AT&T,T-Mobile, and another for Verzion, sprint, etc all you have to do is load the Sim card for the carrier you want to use. A MIFi card will fit in a shirt pocket with room to spare.
