How do I load prepaid airtime on ipad mini if it doesn't support SMS?

Please don't tell me to buy a adaptor so that the nano sim fits in iPhone and all that crap! In the middle of the ocean it's impossible to buy anything.

James, your first clue..".prepaid airtime."
If you know what that is you wouldn't ask questions like that.
in foreign countries you buy local SIM card and use that for data as you travel. This involve buying prepaid data bundles on scratch cards with a code you have to SMS to service provider to activate your amount of data bought.
Second clue,,,, "on ipad mini"
Ipad mini have a nano SIM card. So know everybody says I must buy a adaptor so the nano sim fits in iPhone and then SMS the code to activate the data as needed. So everything I need to load more data I have to take ipad out of protective cover( working at sea) take out nano sim, try to find a adaptor( in the middle of the ocean) load it in a normal phone, text the code to service provider, receive data and reverse the proses again to get each apple products SIM card to the right product. And all that just to load airtime bc this piece of crap can't send a SMS. Only iMessage. Apple distributors and dealers should provide their clients with the correct information. iM is NOT same as SMS.
So, what I need is a crack or hack or app that I can use to avoid this proses of swapping SIM cards.
So does my question makes more sense now?

    Here you go:
    You should be able to hit the "Agree" button, if you are on an iPhone right now. On a Mac, you should just left click the button where it said "Accept". I hope this helped.
    To quit the app store, simply hit these keys:
    Than, you should come up with this window:
    Select the app store with:
              a) The up and down arrow keys
              b) Your cursor
    Than hit the 'Enter' button twice. This should close the app store. The force quit window is also accesible through the apple logo in the top left corner of the screen. It should say:

  • HT1390 How can I remove rentals from my ipad mini?  I have asked I tunes and nothing works.  They sent me here

    How can I remove rentals from my ipad mini??  I have asked the itunes store and they cannot help.  They will not dissappear and I can`t load anymore. And one of them is just a grey box...

    I'd defiantly try a factory reset first to see how things look afterwards.
    Its safe to say IOS8 is buggy for me and I'm sure Apple will fix many of the issues soon. The main problems I have experienced to date on a factory reset iPad Mini are as follows:
    General system slow down.
    Safari is very slow to render web pages, this could be WIFI related.
    The keyboard seems slow to respond especially within Safari.
    I opened a new email earlier this morning and it caused the iPad to auto reboot. Thats a first for me on an Apple device.
    The ability to make / receive a call on your iPad always seems to fail for me. My iPad will ring when a call is received I will answer but it will immediately fail to connect. The same happens on outgoing calls.
    Battery life on first impressions seems to have suffered since the upgrade.
    Role on IOS 8.0.1...

    You can not connect to the internet with a WiFi only iPad without WiFi. You can get a mobile hot spot from your carrier but that still connects to the iPad via WiFi and comes with a monthly data plan like a cell phone.

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.
