Thank you
You can do this, but make sure you buy the AT&T GSM model. It is not locked and GSM is more international. You'll need to get a sim card from the carrier you want to use for data in your country and yes, there is a charge for 3G data, typically on a monthly plan.

I am in California. I intend to buy refurbished iPad Retina display, WiFi 16 GB, form online Apple Store in US.
Will its 1 year warranty be applicable/ honoured in India?Here is a link to the US warranty for iPad:
http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ipad-english.html
Please note this excerpt:
IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
And here is the equivalent warranty for India (which includes the same limitation):

You'll note the "may restrict" - I do not know how strict the enforcement of the terms would be. -

I understand the difference between WiFi and WiFi + 4G iPads, but I have been able to find very little information on whether I could buy the WiFi + 4G iPad in the US and use an o2UK microsim as I read somewhere that the at&t carrier iPad doesn't work with a verizon microsim. So I was wondering whether the iPad has a universally microsim card slot or whether they are catered to the specific carrier you choose when purchasing. However, I've also read that all iPad 3's are carrier unlocked anyway, so I am confused with the information I have found.
If anyone could shed any light on this topic for me, I'd be very grateful, thanksThe iPad has a micro-SIM card slot - nothing special or unique about it.
The iPad is not sold as carrier locked. -
if i purchase an ipad in the us, will the 4g network work with a mexican carrier?
There is no such thing as an unlocked CDMA iPhone. All CDMA iPhones are carrier locked and the carriers do not allow unlocking. All legitimatly unlocked iPhones are GSM only The CDMA side is completely disabled in them.
You can only use a CDMA iPhone if the carrier you want to use offers one. -
IPad Cellar and wifi ...can this be purchased in USA and used in France?
I would like to buy an iPad in the USA as a gift for someone in France. If I want to buy an iPad Cellular with WIFI will it work since the USA carriers are not carriers in France?
Yes. You can use your new Cellular iPad overseas on overseas cellular networks with a local SIM.
*local = non-US SIM
From iPad mini webpage:
iPad mini with Wi-Fi + Cellular can roam worldwide on GSM/UMTS networks. In countries without compatible LTE networks, iPad mini will operate on GSM network technologies such as HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card from a local carrier. -
If I buy an iPad with 4g at an Apple store, does it come unlocked?
I was told by an Apple representative at their 800 number, that if I buy an iPad 3 with wifi and 4g, that it comes unlocked and I can use any GSM sim card in it for data. Can someone verify this?
Sort of. If you purchase an AT&T version in the USA you can only use AT&T in the USA. You can use other carriers outside the USA. If you purchase the Verizon one in the USA, you can only use Verizon in the USA. you can use the a SIM with other carrieries outside the USA.

Wife has a Kindle, Kid is buying an ipad. Can I transfer songs and pictures from amazon cloud over to icloud?
Yes, and there are a couple ways to do this, and it may depend on what kind of songs you are talking about.
If you purchased songs from Amazon's ecosystem, and it is stored in their cloud, you can do the following:
1) Download their app.
The app is called Amazon Cloud Player. The link is here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-cloud-player/id510855668?mt=8
2) Download the songs from their cloud, to your computer and then sync with iTunes
This is the method I use, and all the music is then stored in the Music app, already on the iOS device. The upside to this method would be that all the other applications you have can access these songs too, such as apps for an alarm clock.
3) Upload pictures and songs to Dropbox
This way all the content is stored in the cloud, and can be accessed anywhere and anytime.
For the pictures, you're most likely going to have to sync with iTunes to do that, or you can put them in Dropbox. -
Good Morning:
I have been looking at the Ipads for a while now. I have some concerns though. First, I am NOT a techy of any kind!! So my question is; What is the difference between wifi and a simcard(?) What I understand about wifi is...if you are in an area with free internet.. you can excess it. If not, then you can't. What is a simcard? Is this what you would use like a turbo stick..such as internet on the go... or is this a data plan for the Ipad, like I have for my phone? If so, I take it that it would mean a monthly bill of what or however I set it up... Please be kind with your responces.. I am a older person who wants a new gadget.
Thank youHi, Sarah,
You don't really compare a SIM card directly with WiFi. What a SIM card indicates is that a device is designed to connect to cellphone service, in the case of an iPad a data-only service for connection to the Internet. The SIM card works with a technology called GSM (don't worry about what that means); the SIM card is just how the iPad is identified to the cell carrier (in the US, that would be AT&T).
Your choices of connecting an iPad to the Internet are therefore:
WiFi - wireless network connection which uses a device referred to as a "hotspot" or "access point" (and sometimes a "wireless router") with an Internet service provided by some other company. You may have this at home, with your own WiFi router and Internet service, or it may be found by some other location, such as a coffee shop. Cost of WiFi at home would only be the cost of the router and the fee you pay to your Internet provider. Other locations may or many not involve a cost. The advantage of a WiFi connection is speed (compared to a cellular data service) and cost (no monthly fee other than your Internet provider). The disadvantage is that you have to be in range of a WiFi service; that range is usually on the order of 100 feet or so.
Cellular - this is a service provide by a cellphone carrier. This allows you to have your iPad connected to the Internet wherever the carrier offers service, which may be in buildings, parks, while driving, etc. just as with a cellphone. You pay a monthly fee to the cell carrier for this service. The advange is of course that it's available in many places. The primary disadvantages are the monthly cost and slower speed in the connection to the Internet.
You can have both with an iPad if you purchase your iPad with both systems included; iPads are sold WiFi-only or WiFi+3G ("3G" refers to being capable of connecting to a cell network) You are not obligated to sign up with a cell carrier if you buy the iPad with that technology; most carriers allow you to sign up month-by-month, and in some countries the carrier has a pay-as-you-go service. If you tell us what country you're in, someone can tell you more about the available cell plans, if you're interested.
I hope this helps. Feel free to post back if you need further clarification or have additional questions.

I'm thinking of buying an iPad. Can I use my home's wifi or do I need to get a plan for it?
I'm thinking of buying an iPad. Can I use my home's wifi or do I need to get a plan for it?
Another thing to note is that if your cell plan/carrier supports it (it's free with Verizon Shared plans), you can also use your mobile phone as a mobile hotspot (Personal Hotspot on iOS devices) and use your phone's data to access the internet on the iPad. I purchased an iPad 3 with Verizon 3G/4G cellular built-in but have never activated it. I instead use Personal Hotspot with my Verizon Wireless cellular (phone) plan. If you go this route, you can save money over purchasing a Wi-Fi/Cellular iPad and just choose the Wi-Fi model. But also realize that if you choose to at some point to use the iPad when you're away from Wi-Fi, you won't have the built-in cellular capability that a Wi-Fi/Cellular iPad would have.

I want to buy an ipad mini Wifi Cellular and use it in Central Asia,so there are two models: A1454 and A1455,what is the difference?
Either will work fine in Central Asia as loge ad the carries support GSM (almost all do).
One of the iPads will only work with the AT&T GSM) network if you are in the USA and the Other with the Virizon network (uses CDMA, not GSM/SIM) if you are in the USA
