Buying ipad2 with wifi - question - with or without verizon 3g

What would be the advantage to buying the verizon 3g access with the ipad 2?  Is it worth the extra money?

There are laptops with intergrated GPS - many of them. It's easy to add external GPS to non-intergrated models too.  The iPad2 does have GPS built in.
A article dealing with this is here:

  • Thinking of buying another iPad for Mom. Do I have to buy one with service from Verizon since I have it already,or can I just buy one with wi-fi and no service provider?

    I am thinking of buying an iPad Mini or iPad Air for my Mom.  Do I have to get one for my Verizon account or can I just buy a wi-fi enabled one?  they are much cheaper.  She has free wi-fi in her facility.  Thanks!

    All iPads come in wifi only or wifi + cellular. Just get the wifi version.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Will iPad2 with 3g continue to work even though Apple now has 4g?

    If I buy iPad2 with 3g, will it continue to work since Apple now has 4g?

    Apple has nothing to do with it.
    Supporting 3G is up to your local Cellular Providers.
    Are your local Cellular Providers going o continue supporting 3G?

  • I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G.  My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy.  We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sims chip...we are told.  We were advised that this model wound work in Euro

    I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G.  My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy.  We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sim chip...we are told.  An Apple store employee here said this model is good only in the US. The iPads here take a sim card. We were advised by an Apple Store Employee at home that this model would work in Europe and that we could buy our service here.  That does not seem to be the case.    We have been told that we must invest in a modem at 200.00€ and then purchase a separate service plan for each country. We can use the free wifi wherever it is available but we cannot connect to the outside world when out of range. Is there anything else we can do?
    Thanks, John

    Unfortunately, no other solution is available.
    Hope this helps

      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;

    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • WiFi with Windows 7 (64bit) and without Verizon Software???

    Hopefully someone can help...
    Bought my wife a new Windows 7 (64bit) based laptop for Christmas...The first thing that floored me was that I can no longer download and install MSN Premium for my machines...not at all happy about that, especially since we have been using this since it was first offered (by Microsoft, not Verizon),
    Now I find I can't use the WiFi because the software is not compatible with Windows 7 as well...this was especially aggravating as I specifically looked into compatibility issues prior to buying the laptop and the website says it works with both 32 & 64 bit Windows 7...well, it doesn't.
    Is there a way to log onto the Verizon hotspots using the Windows 7 native WiFi applications?  I have a user and password for the WiFi service (which works really well on the older XP system)...but I do not know if I can access the Verizon HotSpots without the Verizon software...any suggestions???
    Thanks for any input!!

  • About to buy ipad2, Verizon aircard is already built in to my notebook - can I share that Verizon data plan with my new Verizon iPad2?

    I am about to buy an ipad2.  I already have a Verizon aircard built in to my SONY notebook - can I share that same existing Verizon data plan with my new Verizon iPad2?  I would rather not to have to buy a second data plan.
    Thanks for your input

    No.
    If your notebook can be set up as an adhoc WiFi network or HotSpot you could use that instead of activating the plan on the iPad 2.

  • Can I buy an iPad from Colombia with 4G without making a contract with AT

    Hello, I'm from Colombia, in recent days I have been thinking seriously in getting a last generation iPad; as I have read it is much better to get it with 4G even though the 4G LTE network is not available in my country. If I buy it, I will buy it online with a bank who establishes an international cashier and bring the merchandise over here; now my question is, Can I buy the mentioned iPad (Wi-Fi + 4G) without having to make a contract with AT&T or Verizon, just buy it without contracts, or Do I have to contract the service and cancel it as soon as I have my iPad as mentioned one can do, in the information page in the apple page? Please, I need an answer, I want an iPad with 4G network availability without contract with an american cellphone company as I do not live in there, but at the same time I want to buy it online because it is cheaper than buying it from a mac store from here.
    Beforehand,
    Thank you very much.

    The iPad is not sold in the US, or in most countries, with carrier subsidies, so almost all purchases of an iPad are at "full price". Nor will Apple Stores nor any authorized Apple dealer ship to an address outside of the country in which the store is authorized to sell, international credit card or not. Unless JulSolid travels to another country, has someone in another country who can make the purchase, or is willing to buy from some unauthorized source, then he/she will probably have to purchase in Colombia regardless of pricing there.
    Regards.

  • It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

    It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?
    I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

    What?
    You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
    And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
    No, this will not work.
    Just create a network with your notebook.

  • Thanks all for the great advice.  Another question.  If I use Entourage on my desktop Mac to access an email address I use on there, is it possible to be able to access my email on that same email address on my iPad either with or without Entourage?

    Thanks all for the great advice.  Another question.  If I use Entourage on my Mac desktop to access my mail using an email address I have on there, is it possible to access my emails on that same email address on my iPad, either with or without using Entourage.  Is there an Entourage app, or something I could use?  Thanks...

    Simply add the email account to Mail, no need for Entourage.
    One word of warning, though, iPads tend to become community property (meaning anyone who uses your iPad can access your email). That is why I have zero email accounts on my iPad.
    I use Entourage on my desktop as well, so going back and forth between Entourage and Mail (whether on your iPad or iPhone) is no problem.

  • When legally ipad2 with 3G would be available in Thailand?  Can I buy it from US and use it with 3G operator in Thailand?

    When legally ipad2 with 3G would be available in Thailand?  Can I buy it from US and use it with 3G operator in Thailand?

    The iPad 2 is available in Thailand now, though I don't know whether you can find one it stock. The iPad 2 continues to be in short supply everywhere in the world. A US iPad with GSM 3G should be able to work with any carrier worldwide that offers GSM service and a suitable data plan. You'll need to be sure you purchase the AT&T version of the iPad if you purchase in the US, NOT the Verizon version which uses a different cell technology.
    This has been asked and answered in these forums multiple times already, by the way. A quick search or browse of the forums and you would not have had to wait for a response.
    Regards.

  • Can I use Ipad2 with wifi +3G with an Alltel Motorola MilestoneX 3g hotspot phone?

    Alltel is my mobile service provider, and they are now offering the Motorola Milestone X running Android 2.2; this phone can function as a 3G hotspot.  If I have an Ipad2 with wifi+3g, and I turn the hotspot functionality of the phone on, can my Ipad then connect to that hotspot signal created by my phone--even though my service is through Alltel and not Verizon or ATT?  Alltel charges $20 a month for this functionality on top of my smartphone plan, but it provides unlimited data usage.  The fee for 3G Ipad date service for both Verizon and ATT is just a little more, but they have data limits on those plans.
    Any assistance/info you can provide will be appreciated!

    ok, so the phone creates a wifi signal, not a 3g signal--then the Ipad connects via wifi, not 3G, to the phone-- and then gets data off the 3G network ...that is where I was confused. Data flows from the Alltel 3G signal to the phone, then from the phone's wifi hotspot via a wifi signal to ipad's wifi receiver...
    I was not sure if the phone "created" a 3G signal that the Ipad was then supposed to connect to...
    Much clearer now...thanks!
    So, if this is how I am going to use it, do I even need the Ipad+3G--I really would only need the Ipad2+wifi, correct???
