Data Package Requred with 3G iPad?

If I purchase a 3g iPad, is the data plan required? Or can I add that at a future date? I would like the flexibility of having 3g, but do not currently need it. Is the plan required at time of purchase??

The 3G iPad does not require a data plan - or even a SIM - to work. I did the same (albeit with a 1st generation iPad), i.e. I bought it, used it for a while, and only then settled on a mobile provider and data plan.

  • Impact of Changing Data Package Size with DTP

    Hi All,
    We have delta dtp to load data from DSO to infocube. Default data package size with dtp is 50,000 records.
    Due to huge no of data, internal table memory space is used and data loading get fails.
    Then we changed the data package size to 10,000, which executes the data load successfully.
    DTP with package size of 50,000 took 40 minutes to execute and failed, but DTP with package size of 10,000 took 15 minutes (for same amount of data).
    Please find below my questions:
    Why a DTP with bigger size of packet runs longer than a DTP with lower packet size ?
    Also by reducing the standard data package size 50,000 to 10,000, will it impact any other data loading?
    Thanks

    Hi Sri,
    If your DTP is taking more time then check your transformation .
    1.Transformation with Routines always take more time so you if you want to reduce the time of execution then routine should be optimized for good performance .
    2.Also check if you have filter at DTP level .Due to filters DTP takes long time .If same data get filtered at routine level it take much lesser time .
    3.If you cannot change routine then you can set semantic keys at your DTP .The package data will be sorted as per semantic keys and thus it may be helpful at routine level for fast processing.
    4.Your routine is getting failed due to  internal table memory space so check if you have select statement in routine without FOR ALL ENTRIES IN RESULT_PACKAGE or SOURCE_PACKAGE line .if you will use this It will reduce record count .
    5.Wherever possible delete duplicate records and if possible filter useless data at start routine itself .
    6.Refresh internal table if data no longer needed .If your tables are global then data will be present at every routine level so refreshing will help to reduce size.
    7.The maximum memory that can be occupied by an internal table (including its internal administration) is 2 gigabytes. A more realistic figure is up to 500 megabytes.
    8.Also check no of jobs running that time .May be you have lots of jobs active at the same time so memory availability will be less and DTP may get failed .
    Why a DTP with bigger size of packet runs longer than a DTP with lower packet size ?
    *Start and end routine works at package level so routine run for each package one by one .By default package have sorted data based on keys (non unique keys (characteristics )of source or target) and by setting semantic keys you can change this order.So Package having more data will take more time in processing then package have lesser data .
    by reducing the standard data package size 50,000 to 10,000, will it impact any other data loading?
    It will only impact running of that load .but yes if lots of other loads are running simultaneously then server can allocate more space to them .So better before reducing package size just check whether it is helpful in routine performance (start and end ) or increasing overhead .
    Hope these points will be helpful .

  • Can I access my data on my Time Capsule with my iPad without my laptop

    I Recently sold my Mac Book; had all my information backed up to my Time Capsule, can my data be accessed with my iPad or do I need a new laptop?

    If it was backed up with Time Machine, you have to have Time Machine to restore it.
    Only Mac has TM.. so you need a Mac of some sort to restore it.. you can restore it to a disk.. and then access that over the network from ipad.. but of course your itunes library etc is still completely blocked to you.

  • HT1689 Do I need to purchase a celluar data plan to buy and iPAD

    Hello I am looking to purchase both an iPhone 5 and and IPad 2 but do not want to pay for two celluar data pacakges.  Do I need a celluar data package to buy and iPAD?

    You only need a cellular plan on the wifi + cellular model, and then only if you want to use 3G on the iPad.  You don't need a plan for the wifi only iPad (wifi-only iPads don't have cellular capability), and if you get the 3G version then you only need to sign up and activate a cellular plan when you need it - some people get the 3G version as it has a built-in GPS chip (which the wifi-only model doesn't have it), and they never activate a 3G service on it.
    If you are getting an iPhone then you could see if your carrier supports the personal hotspot function, in which case you could use that to share the iPhone's internet connection to a wifi-only iPad (the iPad will see it as a wifi network).

  • Ipad wireless data package with pre-existing Verizon data plan

    Hello,
    I have a question about the wireless plan for the ipad. If I purchase an ipad with verizon wireless carrier does that mean I have to create a
    new verizon wireless account specific for the new ipad? Or can I somehow merge it with my pre-existing verizon wireless plan?
    I have a data package plan of 4G for my phone and I was wondering whether I could share that available data usage with ipad.
    I appreciate all your comments, thank you.

    No, you can't share the data plan with your phone. Yes, you can have your iPad on the same account. It will have its own data plan but appear on the same bill.

  • HT4623 I want to purchase a ipad 32gb in the larger size but have read many bad reviews that the wifi does not stay connected and I don't want to have to buy another data package as I already own an iphone that i pay data for, what are my concerns

    I want to purchase an ipad 32gb in the larger size buy have read many bad reviews that they have problems staying connected to wifi.  I don't want to have to buy a data package so I only want the wifi one.  I already pay apple for my iphone data and I can't afford more money.  Why are there so many bad reviews and are the newer ones that much better, according to many reviews they are not.Please help

    I already pay apple for my iphone data
    You pay your carrier for data, not Apple.
    Why are there so many bad reviews
    Where? Regardless, there are always going to be a handful of people having some sort of issue with any given device, but I would not therefore assume that you would be one of them.

  • IPad 2 -- will Verizon have an activation fee each time the data package is started?

    I have an AT&T iPhone.  Now with the iPad 2 coming out Friday, I was intending on getting the Verizon 3G version of the iPad 2.  However, it is clear that AT&T's data plan is superior since there is no activation fee and the data package can be turned on and off at will.  I also was going to go with the Verizon iPad 2 because Verizon's coverage through the Siskyou Mountains between Eugene OR and Redding CA is considerably better than AT&T on the I-5 corridor.
    I signed up for Verizon emails about a week ago and have yet to receive a single email regarding their intentions for the iPad 2 costs.  So we are certainly in the dark.
    I'll line up at the Apple Store on Friday.  If Verizon has an activation fee for the data package, I'll get the AT&T iPad 2.  If not, then I'll get the Verizon iPad 2.

    Not only is their website vague, their employees have no clue about the activation fee either.  I called yesterday and the guy I talked with told me that yes, there would be a $35 activation fee every time you signed up if you remained inactive for 3 months or more.  He also said that AT&T has a $36 activation.  (ovbiously that is wrong.)  So I called back today and the woman said that there would be a $35 activation fee PLUS there would be a $15 suspension fee every time I de-activated.  I repeated several times that this is JUST for the IPad and only the 3g service.  I asked to be transferred to another associate who told me exactly the same thing.  So I asked that associate if she could check her computer and tell me exactly what it said about IPad service.  What she said was that if you pre-pay with a credit or debit card, there would be no activation fee.  Now THAT's more like it.  Just to be safe, though, I called my local Verizon store.  The woman there also thought that there was an activation fee so I told her what the last lady had said.  She searched and searched - she even told me that her computer showed there was a $25 activation fee for pre-paid.  She was very nice, though, and took my name and number and is looking into the matter and will call me back.  I will post again once I hear from her.  I hope someone at Verizon monitors these posts and will get accurate info out to their associates!

  • Problems with the O2 blackberry data package on my Curve 3G.

    I have already informed O2 about this but they claim that I should be used the blackberry support services, but nothing there helps me!
    I got my Blackberry Curve 3G on September 9th this year and I put on the Blackberry Data Package bolt-on onto my phone on September 16th. I then received a text to say they've taken £5 from my credit and it will be up and running in the next 24 hours. Its now September 19th and my BBM is not working at all and I am extremely upset with the services and behaviour I have received from both O2 and Blackberry.
    Is there any way you can help? If this fails, I shall be forced to go back to the shop from where I got my Blackberry from and ask for their help.
    Many thanks, Jade.

  • 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

  • HT204053 I have one icloud id on my mac and want to share with an ipad with a different icloud id.  if I create a new id for both of us will this work?  My concern is losing data on either device.

    I have one icloud id on my mac and want to share photos, calendars, etc with an ipad with a different icloud id.  if I create a new id for both of us will this work?  My concern is losing data on either device. (the mac book pro is new, but has all of the retrieved data from my previous mac book pro)

    You will lose data from whichever was the 2nd to last to sync .
    Don't do it.

  • On holidays we took pictures with two cameras and an iPad. I put everithing on my PC. Rearranged them by date, time and or subject putting a number in front of the picture name. I synchronised with my iPad and my pictures show in misselaneous order. Help

    We took pictures during oue holidays with two cameras and an iPad. I put all the pictures on my PC and reorganized them by date, time and/or subject, By putting a number in front of the picture name. Then I synced with my iPad. All the pictures show in a misselaneous order. What went or did I wrong?

    You did nothing wrong, but the photo app puts stuff in chronological order.
    You can look for another app. Afraid I don't have one to suggest, but I do understand that other apps will sort photos differently.

  • FORCED DATA PACKAGE WITH PHONE UPGRADE

    I have been a verizon customer since cell phones were cool.  I started with a bag phone in my car.   I have 5 verizon phones.   Four on a family plan and one through a work plan.  
    My son wanted to upgrade his phone today which is eligible for early upgrade.  I was very disappointed to find out that any decent phones available come with a mandated data package.   There are two options - for the really nice phones it is $29.99/month, for the basic phones like the LG Envy which I have now it is $9.99/month.   
    So right now I spend on the family plan about $2000 per year on cell phones.  (It used to be about $3,500 before I got my work phone).   If we renewed to the basic LG Envy phones (which I like)  it would be an extra $40/month or $480 per year.  If we upgraded to the nice phones it would be an extra $120/month or $1,440 per year.  For unlimited data usage this is not a bad deal.  
    There is only one problem - I DONT WANT IT OR NEED IT!!!!!!!!   I have computers at home with wireless, a laptop with wireless, an i-touch with wireless.   Also, my spouse or children do not need unlimited data or the internet on their phones!   Who wants to pay for a 16 and 13 year old to have unlimited data and wireless? 
    I  spoke to Verizon customer service and they told me which phones are available with no data package.  Nothing against LG and Samsung but the phones available under those plans are garbage.   They have small screens and are pathetic little phones with limited features.  Even though I don't use the internet on my phone why wouldn't I want one  with a great camera, a large screen for pictures and video messaging?   
    I realize from talking to customer service that they did surveys to see what customers wanted.  I guess I am one of the only people out there that likes advanced features on a phone with out the internet available to me at all times.  I don't agree with this.  Or is it just that it is more convenient to squeeze another $500 or $1500 per year from a family?   Why not double your sales when you can.  I know every other carrier is doing it which is why Verizon can force this on its customers.   Customer service reminded me of this several times. 
    Could we afford donating this money to Verizon for no purpose? Probably but why the {word filter avoidance}
    would we?  No wonder so many people are in debt.  I think our money could be used better to send kids to college, pay the mortgage or invest it.   I think this policy is hostile towards customers.  If they really want to serve their customers offer the phones at higher price without a data package.  I guess that wouldn't work since Verizon makes its money from service agreements not the equipment.

    Dittos to TedKord!
    There are many with situations similar to yours.  Our first of 5 lines just went month-to-month this week as there are NO UPGRADE OPTIONS to upgrade from an enV2 without the mandatory data surcharge of $120 per year.  If you are a facebook member you can do a search for Verizon and you will find a group there, several thousand strong now, that also agree and share your frustration.  You can also find links there to contact the FTC, FCC, Verizon, etc.   Take a look and join us if you haven't already.
