Can I change iPad cellular data service from AT&T to Verizon?

I want to give old ipad to my mom.  She has Verizon cell service.  How can I change cellular data to Verizonand put it on her account?

You can't. To use Verizon, you must have an iPad that was sold specifically for use with Verizon. She'll have to use AT&T or perhaps T-Mobile to use your old iPad directly on a cell network. She can of course just use it standalone or on Wi-Fi and not use a cell network at all, or if she has a cellphone that offers tethering, aka "personal hotspot", she could connect the iPad to the cell network that way.

  • How can I change my cellular data carrier

    How do you change the cellular data plan carrier.  I want out of ATT because they over charge me.

    Hey tamaze,
    Thanks for the question. Your best bet may be to contact your carrier:
    iPhone and iPad: Using cellular networks while in another country

    Many carriers offer international voice and data plans. Always contact your current carrier for details about international-roaming countries, SIMs, rates, and policies before you travel to another country. While you may not need an international plan to use voice or data roaming on your iPhone or iPad, your carrier may charge additional fees or higher data rates if you don't have an international plan.
    Thanks,

  • Can I change the day/date format from US (month day year) to UK (date month year)?

    When I view databases through Firefox, the date/day format is set at month, day, year (US style), whereas I need day, month, year, I work in the UK and the "wrong" format is VERY confusing and could lead to errors/mistakes. IE has that format but I don't want to revert to using that.

    Gingerbread Man, thank you VERY much!! I followed your instructions and it works perfectly. I am a happy person :-))

  • The cellular data services have disappeared from my settings. Can anyone help me restore it please?

    The cellular data services have disappeared from my settings. Can anyone help me restore it please?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I can't find the cellular data section under settings to set up my new ipad

    i can't find the "cellular data" section on my i=pad 2 in order to order service from ATT. How would I do this?

    Depends on the country...no sim in the US
    Half correct: no SIM for the Verizon version of the iPad (since it uses CDMA.)  The AT&T version of the iPad will have a SIM since it uses GSM.

  • Can I manage my ATT cellular data account from a website and not from my device?

    I have an iPad2 (iOS 7.0.6) with an ATT cellular data plan for 2GB for 30 days.  Received a usage alert that I only have 0.4 GB left for the remaining 11 days in the billing period.  Settings/Cellular Data/Account (after logging in) only gives macro information about the total usage.
    Is there a way to get more detail about cellular data usage?  Like broken down between email, streaming music, web surfing, etc?  The website  www.att.com/att/datacalculator lets you make estimates, but is there a way to use this itemized format to see your actual usage?
    Also, is there a way to manage my Cellular Data account online without using the iPad (and without having to suffer through a customer support voice menu that probably won't let me talk to a live person)?  I tried going to www.attwireless.com and using my iPad cellular data account login info there, but the site said I couldn't monitor the device from there (I can only use it for our cellphones).  I'm now in a data conservation mindset and am afraid that accessing the cellular data account to modify the data plan is going to swallow all the remaining data for the month.

    The AT&T web site may not break it down, but iOS 7 does.  If you go into Settings -> Cellular Data down near the bottom it provides a list of apps and how much cellular data they have used since you last reset your cellular data counters.  For me, I last reset my counters Sept 11, 2013, and since then I have used 19.5GB on my AT&T cellular network.  Below that it gives a list broken down by app and how much data each has used.

  • TS4079 Can I use the cellular data from my I phone 4 to get directions from Siri

    Since I have Siri on my iPad when the location device is turned on, can I use my cellular data from my iPhone 4 to use Siri for driving directions?

    I think you can.
    I did it when I bought my iPhone 3Gs. If you have a copy of your iPod it should work.

    "Cellular Data Plan Usage…There is no data remaining on your current plan. Would you like to add more data now?"what im going to do whit this problem??

    I have done that and it is definitely on.  My husband has the exact same phone and I upgraded his IOS at the same time, but this problem is not happening to his phone (we are also on the same plan, so our service should be the same).  Our settings appear to be identical and my phone is showing the 3G symbol at the top, so I can't understand why it won't access the network.
    I've turned it on and off twice and have reset all settings with my iTunes account, but it still isn't working.
    I'm not a complete idiot with this sort of stuff - I have tried all the obvious things.

  • Can't call WCF Data Service from within a WCF Service

    I am trying to query my WCF Data Service from within a WCF Service and I receive a error 404.  However, when I query the data service from my application, it works just fine.  The WCF Service will work just fine if I comment out the Data Service
    query request. 
    How do I get a WCF Service and a WCF Data Service to play nice?

    Hi,
    For this situation, first you could try to create the wcf data service and run it then consume the data service within your application by adding service reference.
    Here is an example for creating and consuming WCF Data service in console application, and for consuming the service in wcf service, you could just follow the same steps as the console application does.

  • TS4425 Can I accept new terms of service from IPhoto. I don't have an IPhone or IPad.

    I cannot use Photo Stream becasue I can't update my terms of service through IPhoto.
    The help box says "You can accept the iCloud Terms of Service from any iOS device signed in to the Apple ID that you use on your Apple TV:"
    On your iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud.
    Note: Verify that this is the same Apple ID you are using on the Apple TV.
    I checked the Photo Stream box in IPhoto but it won't let me view a dvd. The photos show up in screen saver. I want to show a slideshow/dvd from IPhoto.

    You can buy an unlocked iPhone at any of the 5 Apple stores in NYC. All are open on Sunday. Note a couple of things, however:
    US iPhone 5's will work on 3G in the rest of the world, but not on LTE because the US phones use different channels than other countries
    Be sure you say "unlocked", not "no contract"
    If it breaks it must be returned to a US store for repair, and if shipped to Apple it must be from and to a US address

  • IPhone 5 cellular data services failing

    ISSUE/SYMPTOMS:  iPhone 5 ONLY: Cellular Data stops intermittingly, cellular data locks up without warning, Wi-Fi data connection not working on occasion, iCloud contacts, calendar and reminders not updating, Find My Phone not working, mail or Internet not available or server time-outs. No error messages though. All of these are symptoms of no data service. Problems seem to be related to iPhone 5 failing to switch between LTE and 4G or 3G data services on AT&T.
    My iPhone 5 32GB AT&T version (iOS 6.0.2) along with my clients and family using iPhone 5 in the state of Oklahoma are having this issue on their AT&T iPhone 5's:  no cellular data connection re-established if at anytime the LTE connection is lost or weak.  As with iPhone's prior to iPhone 5, the iPhone 5 is supposed to drop down to the next tier of data service and re-connect to cellular data service when the higher speed cellular data service is not available.  Apparently this is not working well on the iPhone 5.
    What led me to research this LTE issue was that my iPhone was not syncing on iCloud with contacts, calendars and reminders with my other iOS devices.  Other times this issue became apparent was when iMessage quit sending and receiving until I would reboot my iPhone (sometimes it would finally send the message as a “text message”). When I had these problems I also found out I was not getting any cellular data service for Internet browsing, mail, Maps, Find My iPhone, etc.  This would happen without notice. In other words I would not receive any notice or error message that data service had stopped other than the fact I was not receiving any mail, iMessages, or iCloud sync updates. My only resolution was to reset or reboot my iPhone several times a day, and that would resolve it about 70% of the time. 
    I have talked to Apple Support on 2-3 occasions in the last week and AT&T Support twice in the last 2 days.  If it is really true, only the AT&T Technical Support Advisor informed me of a nationwide issue relating to iPhone 5 and LTE:  iPhone 5's are not re-connecting to 4G or 3G cellular data service once the LTE data connection is lost or dropped... the voice calls continue to work, but cellular data service fails and stays locked up without an error message until the customer reboots the iPhone.
    Obviously this is very unacceptable. We depend on these data services and at minimum need to know when it stops working instead of finding out from a phone call that someone sent us an important email or something.
    The AT&T representative also said that both AT&T and Apple are aware of and are working on the issue as it is a nationwide problem with iPhone 5 and LTE. The Apple Support Advisors I talked to made no mention of this "known" issue. AT&T said that it is partly AT&T responsibility because the capacity of LTE is overloaded and cellular data connections are dropping because of the lack of coverage and/or capacity. They actually refunded my data service for a whole month in apology for the inconvenience (I did not even ask for that--I just want my data service to work).  But they also said that Apple has responsibility in this issue because the iPhone 5 should drop down and re-connect to the next lower tier of data service when LTE is not available or lost; instead, it is locking up somehow or it still thinks it is connected to LTE when it is actually not. I don't know how accurate these statements are, but my problem is real.
    TEMPORARY WORK-AROUND / FIX FROM AT&T:  Disable LTE on the iPhone 5.  Or when you figure out that data is not coming to your iPhone, use Airplane Mode ON/OFF for a few seconds to force re-connection to a tower without rebooting the iPhone.  You can Disable LTE on the iPhone 5 in SETTINGS/GENERAL/CELLULAR. I have disabled LTE on my iPhone 5 and have not had any of these cellular data issues since. 
    Disabling LTE is not acceptable either, but it is working. At least I seem not be losing connection or locking up without knowing it.  In my office over the course of a day, my iPhone 5 will jump back and forth on LTE and 4G sitting in the same place.  Disabling LTE has stopped this and the problem, but the iPhone 5 should switch cellular data services seemlessly just like the phone switches towers on a phone voice call seemlessly (most of the time).
    WI-FI ALSO STOPS WORKING SOMETIMES AFTER THIS LTE disconnect / lock-up issue:  That has been my experience along with my clients and family as well. If you use Wi-Fi a lot on your iPhone it will hide this LTE issue until you leave your Wi-Fi and get on LTE and then drop LTE (silently) and then go back to your Wi-Fi.  My experience has been I have to reboot the iPhone to even get Wi-Fi working again after that happens.
    I do not know if some of these comments and analysis are really accurate or valid or not... all I know for sure is since I upgraded my iPhone to the 5 along with my other family members and clients, we have had "no data" on many occasions and are continually rebooting our iPhones and looking for what is wrong. 
    My questions to the support community are these:
         1. Is anyone else having this issue? Or is it just me and my few? Maybe a lot of people do not realize they are not getting their data because they are on Wi-Fi most of the time or they are just rebooting and not trying to identify the real problem. AT&T said it was nationwide iPhone 5/LTE issue.  Anyone else heard that from either Apple or AT&T?
         2. Is this an iPhone 5 / Apple issue or is AT&T solely responsible? Or is it both? Where do we get a solution??? Is AT&T LTE holding false connections with iPhone 5 or is the iPhone 5 failing to recognize a dropped LTE cellular data connection and then failing to attempt to re-connect with 4G or 3G?
         3. Did I miss where this issue is posted? I searched Apple Support and Communities and did not get any hits.  Any updates or further insight on the issue? Any other fixes other than Disabling LTE?
          4. If this is in fact a real issue belonging in part to the iPhone 5, we need to escalate Apple’s attention to it.
    Thanks in advance for your help and feedback.

    Thank you fellow users and experts for your feedback and updates. Sorry about the large font on the original post... accidental via cut and paste.
    I have escalated the issue with both Apple and AT&T.  I actually got senior level troubleshooters from both Apple and AT&T on the phone at the same time... rare moment. Here are the key points of the update:
         1. AT&T did NOT confirm the earlier statement by another AT&T Technical Support Agent that this was an emerging nationwide issue about iPhone 5 and LTE losing data connection and not reconnecting at a lower level or re-connecting to LTE once the signal came back. So that earlier statement was not accurate as suspected by all of us. The senior tech at AT&T said he has seen this issue sporadically over the last month or so, but only with about 3-4 customers.  He said it seems to be location or phone dependent (some phones not all phones).
         2. The Apple Tech was satisfied that all that could be done to eliminate my issues possibly relating to my instance of software / iOS had been accomplished except erasing my iPhone and restoring as a new phone (I have avoided this inconvenience with the argument that other family/clients with the iPhone 5 have had the same problem).
         3. AT&T went so far as to examine which towers I had been connecting to over the last week and looked at other technical data that could possibly explain the issue. I now know I have 3 towers that provide LTE within 4 miles of my home/office, one within a half mile.  But so far there is nothing to explain or even properly identify the issue.  AT&T offered me to take my phone to an AT&T store, try to force replicate the problem there, if so, the store would put my SIM card in a brand new iPhone 5 (just to test) and try tor replicate the problem again. If replicated on a new phone, there is a deeper issue; if resolved on a new phone, the answer is obvious. I have not taken the time to do this yet.
         4. On Friday, Jan 4, 2013 while talking and between the tech support calls (on a different phone), I was able to re-create the problem 2 separate times in my home/office by forcing my iPhone to weaken its connection to service (burying it under electronic gear) and then waiting a few minutes, then trying to browse the Internet--no data service unless I manually reset the connection.  I am only able to cause the issue to occur if there is at least 15 min of idle time after a weak signal condition AND only if I don’t completely lose a connection to cellular voice service. It seems that if you go down to NO SERVICE the phone will do new a search and keep searching until reconnects to LTE or other signals correctly, but a weak connection seems to be strong enough for voice service but can sometimes cause the LTE data service to stop without reconnecting to LTE, 4G or 3G unless I manually intervene. It also seems that idle time with a weak connection is also necessary to re-create the problem manually.  Since Friday, I have not been able to re-create the problem. This has been an intermittent problem, so who knows.
    FYI, I have never had this problem with my new iPad (also on AT&T LTE) that has been with me when the iPhone fails to have data service, but my iPad is never in my pocket or other places with perhaps less signal.
    Again, if you are connected to Wi-Fi on your iPhone 5 most of the time, you may never notice this issue if you are even having it.
    So far no progress on the real issue or resolution, but both Apple and AT&T have put forth very admirable effort.
    If you or others you know are having this issue, please take the time to post a reply to this issue. Thank you.
