Can my verizon ipad be switched to another carrier

I Have a Verizon Apple iPad mini and I'm thinking of switching carriers and am wondering if my ipad can be switched by buying a new SIM card?

Hi ivyfromelk grove,
According to the iPad's User Guide it is possible to change carriers for your iPad's data plan, merely requiring a sim card from the new carrier, and of course you will need a data plan from them as well.
iPad User Guide
See pages 11 and 134-5.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

    Not true.  Verizon no longer carrier locks it's phones.  The iphone 5 is the first model with bands for domestic GSM included in its firmware.
    Verizon iPhone 5 won’t ever be locked, most likely due to FCC agreements | 9to5Mac

  • Can my verizon ipad air be changed over to Sprint?

    I purchased a Verizon IPad Air.  Since T-Mobile had the 200mb free ad going I had a T-Mobile SIMcard installed.  Now, Sprint actually has a plan that would work for me, can I change to Sprint??  All of our phones are on Sprint, but because they didn't have a competitive tablet plan I didn't pick Sprint when I ordered my ipad.

  • How can I get my old iPhone 5 (Verizon) unlocked for use with another carrier?

    I have an iPhone 5 that was purchased with a Verizon Wireless account.  It is more than two years old and I have since upgraded it to a newer iPhone.  I want to give this phone to a friend in Germany.  His service will provide a new sim, if the phone is unlocked.  How can I get it unlocked so that it is no longer limited only to Verizon Wireless?

        Good afternoon Weth!  That is completely correct. All 4G phones are already unlocked for global use. If you contact your international carrier and insert their sim card, it will be ready to activate on the international network. If you have any questions regarding the compatibility of the international network, please reach out to them directly. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thanks so much and safe travels to you!

  • Can i use sprint treo 755p with another carrier

    null
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

    If Sprint unlocks the radio you can. But the only other carrier that may work on is Verizon. And that's just voice and text. Data may not work on it.

  • Can iphone be use with another carrier other than at&t

    hi i would like to find whether can i used another carrier for iphone that i bought online from apple store?
    i travel frequently outside US and i have signed up some local country prepaid plan. can i switch to another carrier when i m in oversea?
    thanks
    .ps about to buy iphone

    I, too, am interested to know if I will be able to use a foreign SIM card when traveling overseas. I spend a significant amount of time outside the US and before buying an iPhone would need to make sure I could use the phone abroad with my other SIM card. The link above points to a FAQ that, alas, does not answer this question. It only mentions that the iPhone can be used abroad via roaming, which means paying AT&T astronomical data and call rates for international.

  • I want to use my verizon iphone 4 with another carrier

    how can i use my iphone 4 with another carrier?

    Did you read the question properly?  The OP has a Verizon iPhone 4, so obviously they have a CDMA phone because Verizon is a CDMA carrier.
    They will not be able to use the phone with any other carrier but Verizon and also the Verizon iPhone does not have a sim card tray.

  • Can iPad be switched to a different cellular carrier?

    We are considering switching from Verizon to Consumer Cellular.  Can my iPad, currently configured for Verizon, be used on by other cellular networks if I switch sim cards?

    Yours is a CDMA iPad. If you wish to have service everywhere you will need to contact Consumer Cellular and see if they can flash your iPad and offer iPad cell data service.

  • Can I transfer iPad apps from one iTunes account to another

    No. Apps are associated with Apple ID with which they were purchased.

    I took a video with my iphone5 and I don't see it on my iPad. Can videos go from one device to another with iCloud?

    No.  Photo stream only streams photos, not videos.  To transfer videos between your devices you can either import them to iTunes and sync them, or (more conveniently) use an app like PhotoSync or Bump.

  • Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. How can I delete it??

    Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. Is there any way I can delete it so I can delete the version I wanted, or even better change to the SD version? The film is still queuing in the downloads list. I've tried edit and delete but that doesn't work. I also can't re-download the film from iTunes.
    Any suggestions very welcome!

    Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    Before that, back up your device, explained here:

    What content are you wanting to copy of the iPad ? You should be able to copy off anything that you've purchased from Apple (films, music, ibooks, apps etc) by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy off music copied from your own CDs or purchased from other sites then you will need to find a program for your computer that can copy them off – iTunes won't copy them off.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites then you should be able to copy them off via the Windows camera wizard.
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    Content in third-party apps (documents and files etc) then how you copy that content off will depend upon what the apps that they are in support e.g.either via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.
