Can I add cellular service on an iPad that only has wifi?

i want to add cellular service to an iPad I originally bought with just wifi. Is that possible?

You can't add it to the 'guts' of the iPad. It's a sealed system.
What you can do is go for a device like a Mifi. It's a battery operated portable wifi hotspot that you can then connect your ipad to.
I believe that every major provider has their version of the device so look for hte provider that offers you the best options and go from there.

  • I have an ipad that only has wifi and I am unable to connect because all the networks are locked for access.   Is there anything that I can attached to my ipad that will make it possible for me to access the internet

    I need help.  Just purchased an ipad with wifi service only.  Is there anything that I can get that will allow me to access the internet.  I keep getting network connections that have a lock which makes it unable to log on.  Picking up numerous with sites with the lock.  Help did I make a mistake in getting this ipad.  If so, can I trade it in for one that is more network friendly.

    If you expect to use a WiFi only iPad it needs a wireless network. It is customary to have your own versus using someone else's.
    Nothing is more network friendly than an iPad.
    You couldn't possibly have expected to sponge off a service someone else is paying for?

  • How can I add more memory to my iPad?

    How can I add more memory to my iPad?

    Memory refers to RAM, and can't be increased.
    I asume you mean storege space (like 16GB, 32GB, etc). It also can't be increased.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:
    Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

  • I just signed up for cellular service for my iPad but it will not connect

    I just signed up for cellular service for my iPad but it will not connect.  Verizon told me to turn off wifi, switch the unit off and back on.  It's just 'searching'.  What do I do?

    Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings

  • How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day...I have an ipad.

    How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day?

    Do you happen to have a Mac?  If so, and if you use iCloud to sync your calendars, you can do that on your Mac and your iPad will understand.  But you cannot create such a repitition (or something like the third Tuesday of each month) on your iPad.
    In Calendar on your Mac, you would create the event, choose "Custom ..." as the repitition frequency, then choose "Days" and choose every 3 days.

    Keep powering your phone off and back on, it can take up to 2 hours for a normal service provider to finalize the activation process.  When you got your new iPhone (congrats by the way) you should have received a little bubble that appeared that told you when the phone was activated, did you see that?

  • Can I add iOS directly using my ipad?

    Can I add iOS directly using my ipad?

    Not if you are running iOS 4.3.3 as your tagline indicates. You must update with the latest version of iTunes on a computer. This explains how to do it, if you don't already know how.

  • How can I use my ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections.    The apple store clerk told me that I can't use airport express unless I also have a computer with me in the hotel.

    How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections?  The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

    The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it.  Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.)  It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
    You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad.  If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350.  Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.

    If you created an album containing some of your photo stream photos, this will not be shared using photo stream.  If you want to share a subset of your photos, create a shared photo stream and share it with your wife, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.

  • My Ipad mini only has the newstand app visible...I've tried rebooting...What next?

    My IPAD mini only has the newstand app  visible on the homescreen...spotlight is not working...I've tried rebooting...What next?

    Rebooting with the sleep and home buttons...holding them down at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that didn't do any good and Spotlight isn't working, you can try resetting all settings and if that doesn't work, then you should probably restore your iPad next.
