Just to clarify...This is the Ipad 4...and you can purchase a cellular data plan thru AT&amp;T, correct?

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.

Yes just like a cell phone iPads can be unlocked, but be advised it dose come down to the US carrier policy for unlocking. The iPad Air will work in other country but depending on the country and the signal that you iPad will pick up, you may only get 2G speeds.

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.

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.

From what I just looked on my iPad there's not a slot for a SIM card but u can get your data plan put onto your iPad. So for example AT&T has the cellular data plan that you can add to any of your smart devices, so that might be what he is talking bout. But there's no slot for a SIM card.

It means that the iPad also comes with 4G capability pre-loaded with Sprint. I opted for WiFi only and saved $100. When I am away from a good WiFi signal, I use my iPhone as a personal WiFi hotspot.

iPad does not "provide" LTE data plans, only your mobile operator can do that. However, if I understand your real question, which I believe to be is "Will iPad 5 work with an LTE service?" The answer is Yes. :-)

NO, this price is for the ipad. It will be up to you to decide if you want the data plan or not. (which is a service that you will need to purchase seperately from a data provider)

AT&T; will add a data plan when you activate any smartphone. EVEN IF you don't activate it with them. Hope that helps.

This is exactly what I have been wondering, do you not receive data charges because it's an unlocked phone? My sister was given an iPhone as a gift and didn't use any data, she only ever went online when she was connected to wifi, and a data charge was added to the bill because it was a smartphone. Because this is an unlocked phone, will AT&T; just... not know? I don't know much about unlocked phones :(

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.

With wi-fi accessibility, do you need to have a provider (AT&T or T-Mobile) data plan in place (to access something like myspace or other)? What is the least expensive way to go, if you have any idea? I am in NY and do not travel much, but my child is spoiled by the sidekick and we had to cut the web, leaving texting open. It doesn't state it has AIM either. It seems AT&T is better in the no-choice game, but since we have a family network already on T-Mobile and unlimited texting and free T-Mobile to T-Mobile calls, I am not sure there is a savings. Please...its on sale today :)

Yes it does. You can put a sim card in this iPad for cellular data service.

Yes, you will have to select/buy a data plan through whoever you get your sim card from, e.g.,T-Mobile. You should also check the coverage map (e.g.,T-Mobile) for your area to see if it is suitable for you.

My Ipad came with a AT&T; chip, and I dont see it would not work with other service providers' data plans. Besides, my purchase was for overseas use, and it works just fine here.
