Germany 3G Micro Sim Purchase

Going to Germany August 28th and want to buy a micro-sim card/data plan for the IPAD that works in Germany before I go. Problem is I don't speak any German and both the Simyo and Blau sites are in German. Don't want to buy the wrong thing. Does anyone know of a site in English where I can order this before I go? Or does anyone know if EPLUS carries these cards at their Frankfurt Airport Store? I've tried calling the store during their local business hours and no one ever answers.

a 4g(lte) device will work on a 3g(umts) network and a 2g(gprs) network too

4G Micro SIM Purchase

I have recently purchased an unlocked 3rd generation Ipad in the UK. I would like to purchase an international micro SIM as I work in Japan. However All Ipads in Japan are locked to service provider so no chance to buy one here.
I have seen sims on the internet but all seem to be for 3g. So 2 questions is there a 4g SIM available for purchase on the internet which will connect in Japan. Second question if I buy a 3G SIM say from UK Vodafone which shares with Softbank in Japan will it work correctly on the 4G Ipad.

Micro Sim Purchase for Use in Italy

Is it possible to purchase a microsim (Vodafone or tre(3)) for use in Italy here in the USA prior to travelling there? Why not purchase over the internet like everything else. Could pay for service and provide necessary info. Would save the hassle of finding a kiosk or shop there.
Thanks for any ideas.

Just leave it NTSC.
In Europe most dvd players play ntsc.

How do I get an iPad micro sim card for Austria and Italy? We purchased one for Germany, but it doesn't cover in Austria or Italy

Compare the roaming charges from the German carrier with services like those:

Otherwise buy a pre-paid micro-SIM card for the iPad in each country you visit.

US iPad 3G and using more than one micro-sim

Hello
I'm planning on ordering a 3G iPad from the US. I travel very regularly and plan on having micro-sim cards for the countries I visit all the time i.e France, UK, Germany and others. Obviously it would be a lot cheaper to have separate sim cards for each country as opposed to roaming on a single subscription.
My question is whether any micro-sim will work in the US iPad 3G straight out of the box. I'll have absolutely no need for the AT&T sim.
Thanks

This post is a little dated, but, as long as I'm here: I just got back from Canada, where I was able to do exactly this: I went into a Bell store in Vancouver and got a microSIM for my 3G iPad 2 ($5). We took my AT&T SIM out and put the Bell SIM in, and it worked exactly the way it should have: I went to "Cellular Data" in Settings and it let me sign up for a variety of month-to-month plans; I went for 5 GB of service for $35. The only thing I had to work around was that the sign-up form wouldn't accept "CA" as a Canadian province; I substituted "BC", and it was happy. The service worked great, and was much cheaper than AT&T's international data roaming plan.
I presume I could go back to Canada and re-use the SIM to purchase a new plan, but I'm not sure how long that would work -- do SIMs (and their phone numbers) used in this way time out after awhile?
To perhaps extend the discussion a bit: I'm going to be in France and the UK in July, and would like to do the same sort of thing, ideally getting one microSIM and service plan that would work in both countries. Orange provides service in France and the UK, but I'm not sure if a service plan bought in France would continue to work in the UK. Any advice?

Hey Guys I Travel to the States and I am from Germany. I want to buy an iPhone 4S 8GB white Version unlocked GSM. Can I use the iPhone in Germany with every SIM Card?

Hey Guys I Travel to the States and I am from Germany. I want to buy an iPhone 4S 8GB white Version unlocked GSM. Can I use the iPhone in Germany with every SIM Card?

As long as you buy from an Apple retail Store (Apple owned ) an unlocked iPhone 4S it will work on GSM services worldwide
from Apple.com
If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible micro-SIM separately. When you travel internationally, you can use a micro-SIM card for iPhone 4s from a local GSM carrier.
The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint.
However the warranty will NOT be valid outside the US .If you need warranty or post warranty service you will have to return the iPhone to the US in person ( cannot mail in to US )

I have a uk ipad2 with 3G and am going to the USA I want to get a micro sim from AT

I have a UK ipad2 with 3G and am going to the USA. I want to get a micro sim from AT&T so that I can use 3G in the USA. My question is that I know that I will need to sign up for an AT&T account on my Ipad.
Do AT&T accept foreign credit cards so that I can do this? I only have a european Visa/Amex credit card.
If they don't, is there any way that I can purchase a dongle in the USA and use a USB adaptor on my ipad2?
I appreciate any feedback - i have spoken to loads of people from Apple and AT&t but noone seems to know the answer.
thanks

You need a US credit card with a US address.

Orange uk will not provide a micro sim replacement

As the title says, if you are still in contract and not eligible for an upgrade yet but were thinking of getting the iPhone 4 on pay as you go and swapping out your normal size contract sim for a micro one orange will not allow it, they said if you buy it on pay as you go that's what it must be used for and under no circumstances will they give you any sim replacement apart from for the same sim as you have at the moment. If you are on o2 your in luck as they will be letting you swap the sim if required.

hmm someone else on another forum said this
"Just got off the phone with Orange to see if they could send me a Micro Sim to use when I purchase the iPhone 4 and the short answer was yes.
HOWEVER she did say that for customers such as myself who are currently on a monthly contract with them using a normal sim card who want to get their account details moved over to a micro sim will have to change their tarriffs slightly. She said that the terms and conditions they have been given state that customers must move to an iPhone4 tarriff which is an extra £10 per month but does come with unlimited internet (thats actually 750mb as we all know) and free BT Openzone WiFi, in order to get your existing number account details moved to the new Micro sim.
I was on a 1200 min £35 contract which with the new iPhone4 tarriff will take it up to £45, but have decided to offset some of the cost by lowering my tarriff to a £30 900 min per month, therefore totaling a £40 which the iPhone add-on.
It is a bit annoying that they aren't simply doing what O2 are by offering an online service that you just enter the new sims SSN code into and it copies the details over for you for free, but I didnt fancy cutting the card, screwing it up and not having any use of a phone till a replacement normal sim arrives, as Orange say they wont replace lost big size sims with Micro sims."
When you say "Update: just spoke to orange again and they said this is now possible to swap your current iPhone contract sim for a microsim, so have just preordered" did you mean "Update: just spoke to orange again and they said this is now possible to swap your current FULLSIZE contract sim for a microsim, so have just preordered" ?
I dropped Orange an email about this earlier on in the week so will post what they say.

Ipad Micro Sim vs Iphone 4 Micro Sim

Just noticed this on the UK apple store. They sell Sim Unlocked Phones (like NZ and Australia etc) and under the FAQs they have the following:
Are iPhone 4 and iPad micro-SIM cards interchangeable?
No. Your iPad micro-SIM card will not work with your iPhone.
Surely that is a “we dont want you to interchange” as opposed to “it wont work” as I thought a micro sim card is a micro sim card and it will work in any device that needs one. Anyone else have any insight to this. You of the understanding that our Micro Sims from the Ipad (cut or purchased) will work in either device?

The iPad apparently will try to intercept calls when used with a regular phone microsim.

HT201699 My Ipad 2 recognizes my MTNL Micro sim and connects me to 3g network easily. I put the same sim in the latest ipad 3, it always gives error as "sim failure'. I did all the work such as putting correct APN, restarting the ipad etc. Still why this

I do have this problem with new Ipad3.
I used Ipad 2 3g with mtnl,Mumbai as carrier. The sim I used have not given me any problem as my Ipad immediately recognized and connected me to internet.
Recently i purchased I pad 3 3G. I have inserted the above micro sim to this ipad. It always gave this message as " Invalid Sim".I have the the following to correct the problem
Put the correct APN under cellular data.There is no need of user name or pass word
Restarted my I pad after putting the APN
Taken out the sim from the tray and reinserted it later.
Checked whether I got the latest carrier version
Turned off wifi
Switched on and off cellular data
I know that the sim is not locked because the same sim is working in my telephone as well as ipad2
Now the SOS to my community members please....

Oh friend. Now I am totally disappointed with this big purchase. My connectivity is now limited with wifi only.(till my operator starts 4G service).
Anyway manyy thanks for attending my doubts....

AT&T micro sim

Hi,
I have a wifi + 3G iPad, I am visiting the USA from the UK and was wondering if I could purchase a AT&T 3G micro sim from an AT&T store or apple store so I can take advantage of the 3G network.
Cheers

Yes but you need a USA address and USA credit card. You can use the address of where you are staying and buy prepaid credit card such as a Visa purchased from Walmart to fulfill these requirements.

Micro Sim, how to get a microsim replacement from any network.

I am still waiting for my iPhone 4 but I will need to get a micro sim card for when it comes..
Now I have an Orange Pay n Go sim card which still has about £12 credit left on it but its not a micro sim card infact its quite an old type of sim card I believe..
When ive looked on the internet for micro sim cutting conversion the sim chip isnt square like the images show but intead is more of an oblong/rectangle shape..
So I dont think cutting it will work at all.
Now this is my connundrum..
Ive first emailed orange and it took about 2 days to get back to me and they just told me I need to phone them.
When I phoned orange i stated that I need a new micro sim card for the iphone 4 ive purchased from apple but I would like to keep my current number and account and transfer it to the new micro sim that way I dont like the remaining credit and I can keep my number.
The guy told me on the phone that he cannot do that over the phone... which is strange because the email said it cant be done over email or internet.
So the guy said ive gotta go to an orange shop and buy a new micro sim card..
A new one? When how will it have my number and that? The guy replied and said that they will have to transfer it to the new sim.
So in order to get a new micro sim card orange are telling me that I have to buy one first before they can transfer the details to it..
How much will this cost me? I thought sim cards were free this day n age?
Micro sim cards are smaller and therefor cheaper to make so why are they charging people for them?
When I bought my origional orange sim card it was free but there was a catch to having it free in the shop they told me I need to pay a minimum of £5 credit onto it first.
Thats fair enough cause at least that credit belong to me and I can use it.
Ive also read on the orange website that micro sim cards now come with free micro sim adapters for older phones...is this true? I hope its true!
If your experiencing this with your orange account or o2, t-mobile, 3,vodafone and others then please tell me about it.
I am eager to see what you all think, and how you managed to get a micro sim card while retaining your number and account.

Apple serves Micro-SIMS in all their i4 phones. You don't need to buy a separate one. They would have a Micro-SIM exclusively for Orange UK and you would just have to add/replace the IMEI and SIM codes to your account.
If you have not received a Micro-SIM, visit Apple UK's store or Orange's store and state that a Micro-SIM did not come with my product when it arrived and they should change it free of charge as it was supposed to come with the i4.

How can I download more than 20mb with my prepaid micro sim in my iPad 2?

I recently brought an iPad2 64gb wifi+3G and purchased a micro sim card with 3gb of free download.I still have nearly 3gb left on the sim but It won't let me update any apps over 20mb. Says I have to use wifi for over 20mb downloads. How can I fix this. Does anybody know. Cheers

There is no way for you to "fix" it, that is the limit. You can ask Apple to increase or eliminate it but most likely cell providers asked for it to be included.

Could any one tell me nano sim can be cut from Normal sim like micro sim. I heard new iPhone uses nano sim

Hi All,
My friend told me he will get unlocked new iPhone on first week of launch .He is in Canada and i am in India. I heard new iPhone features nano sim. It is possible to cut nano sim from normal sim like we do for micro sim. iPhone releases in India only in November so if we cant get nano sim from normal sim , then i have to postponed my new iPhone purchase

No one here knows Apple's plans regarding any new iPhone & what type of sim that phone may or may not use. As to whether a Mico sim can be cut down to Nano size, the answer is yes. I suspect cutters will appear on the market shortly after such is released.
The real question you should be asking is why, if you live India, are you looking to purchase an iPhone anywhere else other than India. iPhone warranty & support is country specific, only valid in country of original purchase. You purchase an iPhone in Canada, you prepared to physically bring the phone back to Canada for ALL warranty & support issues? You can't mail it back to Apple. Makes no sense to me.
