Since this Ipad has AT&amp;T does that mean that I have to have an AT&amp;T internet package to use it?

I have this ipad without any carrier. I just have wifi. It depends if you purchased the ipad with a carrier. did you buy this ipad with only wifi, or is it wifi and Data? You can use the ipad with no carrier if it's just wifi. If it's with data you have to pick the carrier with whom you have a contract

Have you ever tried this? I heard that ATT will force you to buy a data package because it's a smartphone, and even you have data service you still can't connect to a secured WIFI though you have the password. Is it true? who can tell?

It's locked to AT&T.; I used to have a 3G iPad with which I was using an AT&T; sim card so I bought this.

You have to buy an iPad that has the cell phone capability. Some are Wi-Fi only. Those that are Wi-Fi only, you cannot add cellular later.

AT&T; could be the choice you make for your internet service , it really has nothing to do directly with your I-Pad . AT&T; is a very good internet service but you do have some other choices for that service, you should do some shopping for the best internet provider price. I hope this is helpfull, I love my I-PAD and I think you will to.

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)

If it's a wifi version why does it say wifi+at&t; in the heading and description then ?

It means you can use it on a wi-fi network or on an AT&T network. To use on an AT&T network you must subscribe to a data plan with AT&T.

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

This model specifically you cannot, this is wi-fi only. There are other iPad Mini's that can be used with cell plans. You can tell by price, those models are more expensive.

It does - but it will not work with internet if you have that on your plan. We had to take internet off my husband's line because AT&T could not figure out how to "unlock" that aspect for their internet.

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.

Yes, however I purchased one that was supposed to come with an AT&T SIM card and the Card was missing. This is no big deal because you can pick one up for free at an AT&T store. When I contacted the ipad shop store at amazon, they gave me a 20$ credit for my trouble but could not ship me the card! I also called Apple and they told me the ipad I purchased was not new, as advertised! Apple passes the buck big time and is not such a great company as people profess. Amazon assured me it was a new product and they stood behind the 12 month warranty which Apple would not!

No data plan is need unless you want to download apps and be connected to the internet vie Wi-Fi. All that is need is that you have an AT&T; Sims card.If you already have AT&T; you can insert you old Sims card in and you will be operational.

No, the iPod touch is NOT a "phone". Activation is via Apple's iTunes website. You are confusing this mobile device with the iPhone. Both are WiFi enabled, however the iPhone also supports Internet access via ATT cellular network called "EDGE". To access the Internet from a WiFI device, you can do so with the iPod touch either via a wireless home network, or a public hotspot, such as in most McDonald's restaurants and Starbucks. If you are an existing ATT DSL Internet subscriber, you can gain basic service hotspot access "free" via the ATT WiFi network. All you need to do is take your iPod touch to within 150 feet of one of these establishments and select "AttWiFI" as the Network SSID to connect to, then launch your iPod touch Safari browser and try to connect to any Internet website. In the process, Safari will be redirected to the ATT WiFi network access login home screen. Enter you existing ATT DSL subscriber user name and password. If you are NOT already an ATT DSL Internet subscriber, you can still gain public hotspot WiFi Internet access but first you will have to sign up for an account and pay a monthly charge. You can also login by redeeming an ATT gift (or prepaid) card, or paying for limited access with I believe is around $8 per day, or 3 or 4 bucks per two hour session. Of course, there is nothing about any of this in Apple's user guide for the iPod touch. But, for such a WiFi intensive mobile device, this is the kind of thing people need to know to use their iPod touch to its full potential wherever you go.

Just wifi is fine, that's what I have. I do have AT&T mobile service but I have not associated the phone and IPAD as yet.
