If I decide to go from wifi to wifi + service, can I make that update on the iPad or can it not be done if the service isn't included from the start?

Your iPad must also be equipped with cellular when purchased in addition to the wifi that is installed in every iPad.

Not quite sure what you are asking. The ipad will log into any Wifi service you have the passcode to. Is that what you are asking? You don't have to sign up for any thing extra when you buy it.

HI,This is NOT a ipad where in you can insert a SIM. there is no slot for SIM card. when there is wifi options I did not feel the need of buying an Ipad with SIM card. There is wifi every where now.

If you do the update for iOS 7 it will, not sure if it comes with it already set up with it or not, I would assume it would have 7 when you start doing your personal settings or it will at least prompt you to update it. Don't worry, Apple is really good about notifying you for updates and also great at helping you through the glitches, if any, that you encounter, and a lot of those are just user error. Me for example, I didn't know why it wouldn't connect to my WiFi after I did the iOS7 update, all I had to do was unplug my router and replug it so they could talk to each other better. So, when in doubt unplug, wait a few seconds and plug it back in. Hope that helps!

That would be the internet carrier for your device, just like with your cellphone you need a company to provide the internet connection/service. If you have a service provider it insure you have internet connection wherever that company has service. I personally did not want to spend the extra money, so my iPad just has wifi which means I can connect to any other service provider that's not looked. You can connect to your home internet if you have a wireless modem or wifi, also pretty much every public place you go has free wifi. Starbucks, McDonalds, Library, Mall, most restaurants and hotels...etc. Hope this helps:) That would be the internet carrier for your device, just like with your cellphone you need a company to provide the internet connection/service.

To be honest, I am using this iPad with wifi-only. I am trying to get a usim soon, but for now it works just fine with any wifi. - Hope this helped.

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

You have to pay for the internet if is that what you are asking, the iPad comes with a SIM card slot to activate a data plan with the mobile company you want, and also you can connect to any Wifi network if you have the login credentials or if the wifi is provided as free by an establishment. (your friend's house, the college campus, Starbucks, Panera Bread, etc)

Yes, shortly after purchasing this iPad there was a notification to update, it's currently at 8.1.2.

The iPad I purchased has the "ability" to have cellular service through Verizon - but it is not "required". It will work just fine on WiFi only. Keep in mind that they do make WiFi only models that will, most likely, be less expensive than the cellular-enabled units.

I am not sure of the date the iPad mini was released. I also don't think that it is important. All of the iPads and iPhones. I'm sorry, I hit a wrong button and sent this before I was ready. The ipads and iPhones are updated regularly, so they always have the the up to date software. The only thing you need to pay attention to, is that all iPads come either WiFi or WiFi & cellular. If you want GPS capability, you need the one with cellular. Since I use mine for flight navigation, I have to have the cellular version. I hope this is helpful to you. Dave.

Granted I have an older unit but my updates come over the wifi in my home. It takes a while but it always gets there eventually.

Yes, all you have to do is added it from the list of available services and register it; however, as I pointed out, this device does not work well. It will at first, then start to lock up, it's just not worth it!!!

If you have an iPhone it will route calls through your iPad. Not sure how to do this... I was just sitting there reading and I was able to answer a call through my iPad which is Wifi only.

Yes. Just download the app from the appstore and connect through wifi once this unit it installed and synced, then you're good to go. There's no monthly fees or anything.

The one I purchased for my 11 year old son did not as he just has the wifi capability and not the phone package, that iPad is easily available tho Barb, you can find it by scrolling through the option on iPads for sale onsite :)

I dont see the option..I only use it with wifi, but I havent really tried to add that option.

You must buy a separate attachment and download their app to do it. It does not come with the required wifi add on. I was disappointed by that as well but for the price it has worked really well for me.
