Connecting iPad to Verizon....

I had recently bought an iPad 2 off Ebay; never used and isn't with a specific company (i.e Verizon or AT&T). Am I still able to get it connected to my Verizon plan since I have a phone service with them? If so, how? I believe the iPad I bought just has WiFi; is that a problem? Can I get the iPad "unlocked"? Someone please help!
Thanks a ton!

Unless the Ipad 2 has 3G radio in it it would be just wi-fi only. So there would be no point in trying to connect it to Verizon service. If you have wi-fi just use that. You'd want to do that anyway. And if your Ipad 2 did have a 3G radio in it and it was for at&t you wouldn't be able to use it on Verizon. Do you have a model number?

  • New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,etc

    New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,switch channel from auto to maybe 6,channel width to 20mhz? Already changed security settings to WPA2.  Currently router is running in mixed b and g mode.

    If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
    It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

  • IPad will not connect to my Verizon WiFi Router - Keeps saying invalid PW

    My iPad use to connect to my Verizon FIOS Wireless Router (Wireless G) It now will not connect and says invalid PW. I disabled the WEP security and it would still not connect. My iPhone and other computers all connect. I have reset the wireless settings to the factory and it still will not connect. I have firmware 3.2.2 (7B500)on my iPad. I also have a Wireless N router and the iPad connects to that but not the Verizon Wireless G. Has anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    If it previously connected but no longer connects try restarting the router. You may also want to try resetting the Network settings on your iPad +(Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings)+

  • Will the re furbished iPad with Verizon 4G LTE service connect up to my Verizon plan

    Is it true that a refurbished iPad with Verizon service is very difficult to set up with a new Verizon plan?

    The SIM is the main thing you need.  New SIM you should be fine.  As far as the number, you can look that up yourself on the device in settings > general > about.  It will either be blank or have a number.  You can also try clearing things out following the suggestions in my post on the thread below.

  • HT3574 on the new iPAD 4G Verizon has anyone been able to make the Hotspot work with the USB Cable to a Windows 7 PC ?

    On the new Ipad 4G (Verizon) - I am unable to Hotspot it with the USB Cable. I can do it with Wi-Fi and Blue Tooth just fine - but not directly connected from the iPad3 to a Windows 7 PC. It detects, it even opens up the Folder os that I can see the DCIM but no internet on the PC (but works fine using Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth hotspot). Any ideas ?

    Attach the cable to your iPad and then to the USB, than go to settings chose the third option "personal hot spot" turn it on, a notification will pop up asking you if you want to use wifi or Bluetooth just select no and automatically work.

  • IPad with Verizon won't roam

    I activated my new iPad with Verizon but it will not roam on cell one towers even though cell one works off of the Verizon network. Is there a solution to this? It says it cannot connect to the network.

    I have roaming on. Verizon comes up in the left hand corner and even when it says it has 3G it still says cannot activate cellular data network.

  • IPad and Verizon

    I would like to buy an iPad, but the only cell company in our remote area is Verizon. I know it's possible to run iPad on Verizon, but it sounds like it's complicated and that I might not be able to use all features. Any advice? Thanks!

    Sounds like you're confusing WiFi with cellular 3G. If you have an Internet provider, regardless who even Verizon, all you need is a wireless router to contact either to your cable modem or DSL. Once you have WiFi in your home or office you can use the WiFi capability of the iPad. And when you take it somewhere else it will seek WiFi networks and ask you if you want to connect to any it finds. Of course you'll need to know the loggin info unless the network isn't password protected.
    If there is no wifi where you are and you don't have an iPad with 3G then you can't connect to the net. If you get an iPad with 3G but there's no ATT where you are, and you can't get a wifi signal, then again you won't be able to get online.
    If you can get online either by wifi or ATT you can make VOIP calls with apps like Trufone as the pas has a mic and of course speakers. Alternatively you can plug in earphones that also has a mic like you'd use on an iPhone. There are lots of them on the market and you can also get them at any Apple Store.
    Lastly, to be clear you can only connect via 3G if you have a 3G iPad and through ATT currently.
    Hope that helps.

    That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.

    If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • IOS 7 Can no longer connect iPad to iTunes

    Just installed IOS 7. Also, updated to new version of iTunes. Now, I cannot connect iPad 4 to iTunes. Also, I continually get message "Trust This Computer?" when  I try to connect iPad you iTunes even though I always answer Trust

    I have the same problem. In fact when I plug in my iPad 2 updated to ios 7.0.4 I get that same message and it crashes my entire system - forcing me to reboot.
