If I buy this iPad with the AT&T can I still use it on wi-fi without activating AT&T until a later date or do I have to aviatiate it to use the iPad.

I bought my ipad in December and haven't activated my AT&T; account, just got a used sim card from another phone so the message wouldn't flash and Its been going and going like the bunny for 3 months without a hitch.

You can use this iPad with a simple Wi-Fi connection. When, and if, you travel, you can activate the AT&T; data connection for a month or so and then deactivate the data connection when you get home. This is what I have been doing for about 3 years (and with 2 iPads).

No, the wifi verison cannot be upgraded to 3g. Though you can get the 3g and only use wifi on it, and then later on get a data plan. If you are in the market for an iPad I recomend to skip the iPad 3rd genetation because Apple just annouced a newer iPad today for the same price. I think you can get that new model in November.

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

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.

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!

Although it says AT&T All iPads are factory unlocked I've try to unlock mine and that is what AT&T told me last week

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.

You have to activate your Iphone first, before you can use it. You're able to activate an iPhone without a SIM card, you can find it online. And if you need to use this SIM card to activate your phone, you need to call AT&T to activate it.

This is a used device. We changed carriers and no longer need an AT&T; device. There is no warranty but the device works well. It would simply need to be activated with a data plan through AT&T.;

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.

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.

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.

I would not waste my time taking it to the local store. Most of them are cluless, and will tell you it's not doable. It's 100% doable. Put your sim card in your new phone, and use Wifi as much as you want. It's an unbranded phone not carried by AT&T;, so they have no way (at least for now) of knowing it's a smartphone.

This mean that you will have internet capabillity 24 hrs. a day but it comes with a monthly bill from AT&T.; If you only use your IPad only at home I wouldn,t get that feature and just use my internet at home.

You could hook up to the wifi on your phone but only temporarily. Our Ipad plan could be set up with AT&T so you could access it anywhere. We don't have AT&T so it would be a separate bill. Go to the menu on your Ipad and see what service is available. There is a lot of free Wifi out there in hotels and restaurants.

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
