If I buy IPad Air Wi-Fi + At&amp;T cellular capable, can i use it without sim card for a while? Right now, I don't need 4g in it, but may need it later

Yes, You can. Right now I also don't need a sim card and didn't get one. So I use it only with Wi-Fi without any problems

You have AT&T; SIM card coming with the Tablet, that could be activated on AT&T; cell network, but do not required.You can use it on WiFi without Cell connection. You have WiFi and Mobil Network(Cell) built-in, but you can chose how it will connect. Hope it 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. No Sim card came with unit. ATT put one in for me. It will work without one on a WiFi network right out of the box.

You can use wifi only without going through a carrier. However, if you have a data network packet with your carrier you can use it with your SIM card and still get wifi. Otherwise you do not need carrier for you to be able to use the internet. I hope this helps.

Can I use simplemobile Simcard using your iPhone? Will this unlocked AT&T; apple iPhone allow me to do that? Thanks.

Hi,Yes any internet service will have a WiFi router for your location, and the iPad will connect directly to your WiFi. But you will have to check with your Cellular carrier to verify 3G connectivity.

The one I bought didn't, you can use your existing4G SIM card with it.I had an older 3G card it worked with it too but some of the data functions didn't so I took it to the local at&t; store and they switch out my card for me.also my brother has a GoPhone account which worked with it as well you just have to buy data for the account to use internet without WIFI.

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.

I made the mistake of not getting a cell service on my IPAD. It means when you don't have a WiFi connection it connects to a AT&T; cell tower. Make sure you get the right carrier. If you don't want the cell tower connection then the IPAD is cheaper. AT&T; charges $30.00 a month

I have AT&T; as my phone provider. However, My wifi and Internet connection is with Time Warner. If I were you, I would carefully read the description of the iPad before purchasing it. The great thing about Amazon is you can purchase the iPad and if it is not what you expect, you can send it back. I hope this helps

Depends upon what you mean. You can use it as a router without an active SIM. You just can't use it for calling.

You can use it with no problem with another operator.. newest thing about this iPad 4 is that has a 4G LTE, which means in a few words that you can use it with most gsm operator or cdma operator, just be careful with that and thats it.

NO, there is a chip set that enables the ipads to use 3G or 4G (LTE), but if you are thinking of getting cellular, you need to pony up the extra $150 now... you don't have to use it, but you won't be able to without the chipset in the ipad that will increase the cost by $150... but I would wait!!!!! They just finished notifying us that starting on Friday, there is a NEW Generation iPad (4th generation) that will have a A6X chip instead of a A5 at the same price and will be twice as fast for WiFi or Cellular and also in processing!!!!! In addition, they just announced an iPad Mini that will start at $329, and it will NOT have a retina display, but have the same display the iPad 2 had, but have all of the other features the current 3rd generation iPad has, and for another $130 or so, you can add cellular, so for $460 you can get a 7.9" ipad mini with cellular and 16GB of memory.

The Apple IPad mini is sold with both capabilities. If all you want to do is run it off a wireless router, then buy the IPad with just the WiFi as it will cost less. I have a data plan with AT&T; that costs me $10 a month. And it works with my wireless router at home or away just great too.

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

You don't need a wireless carrier (i.e. Verizon, AT&T. T-Mobile, etc.) if you only want to use the Wi-Fi. But if you choose to keep your device on a network at all times, not just when you can find a Wi-Fi network, you would need to pay their monthly fee for the data services.
