HT4571 Ipad to operate on a CDMA network like Verizons.  Are the new ipads interchangeable between the 2 different networks?

I need an IPAD to operate on a CDMA network like Vorizon.  Are the new IPADS interchangeable between the 2 services?

No, only the iPads specifically for CDMA networks are able to use those networks. I believe that the radio card has both, but it isn't activated on a GSM iPad.

  • Are apple charging devices interchangeable between the ipad and iphone?

    Is the charging hardware on an Ipad 4th generation compatible to charge iphone 5c?  In other words can I charge my iphone with my ipad charging hardware?

    You are welcome...I use my iPad charger all the time with both the iPad and iPhone.  Especially when traveling to avoid carrying multiple chargers.  Plus, the plug "duckbill" on the iPad charger can be removed and one with a different pin configuration for other countries pushed on so it is not necessary to carry plug converters outside the US.

    Actually it depends on the Bandwidth of the network they will be using. You can see a list of tech specs on the iPad website.

  • The New iPad not remembering Wi-Fi Networks

    I just bought The New iPad 64GB Wi-Fi + 4G. It doesn't remember my Wi-Fi networks that I connect too. I have to go into settings every time and connect to network manually. Does anyone else have the same problem or know of a fix? I have the iPhone and iPad2 doesn't have this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort?

    I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad to use while traveling back and forth from the U.S. to Australia, and within Australia. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality of the iPad in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort? I have never owned an Apple product before -- I'm a newby!

    Aside form the limitation of LTE to the 700MHz and 2.1GHz bands (which rules out LTE in Europe I gather, at least as it stands now) the new iPad should let you use a GSM 3g/2g/edge network anywhere.  The CDMA Verizon model will only be able to use it's native CDMA radio band in the USA (that radio will be locked to Verizon), but it's international GSM radio is the same as the AT&T model.
    Keep in mind though that by far the cheapest option when abroad is to take advantage of free wifi as much as possible (well, that is always the cheapest option, since it is free).  I know several people who have taken their wifi-only iPads and iPad2s to Europe and said they did not find the lack of 3G really inconvenient at all as most towns had plenty of free or cheap wifi access all over the place.
    And in 3 years, your iPad will be at least 2-3 generations behind, LTE will have already been replaced by 5G or whatever the next new generation of cellular ends up being named (and the "young" kids will be wondering what the heck 3G even means or meant - dang that stuff was from the olden days!), and you can pitch that ancient piece of technology and start things all over again

    I think you should read the specs again http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
    Both the AT&T and Verizon iPad have GSM sim slots and will work throughout the world on GSM networks.

  • The new ipad(4G) for verizon can be used in China Telecomm?

    I want to buy a new ipad 4G,I want to know if it can be used in China Telecomm?cause I find it support CDMA EV-DO Rev.A(800,1900MHZ).

    I'm guessing so because The New iPad is a World Tablet device, it. An connect to other Wireless Networks while roaming, but it may cost you 2x what you normally pay. if you use iPad internationally be prepared to pay a hefty fee. But it does come in advantage while your able to connect to Carriers around the world like Chine Telecom.
    I hope I helped :)

  • Is the new Ipad on verizon global now?

    Is the new Ipad on verizon global now since it also has SIM capability and as per specs on the apple website supports UMTS and GSM. So can I take it to India and use it there on GSM network by popping in the local sim card?
    As per the specs on the link the only difference I am seeing between ATT and VZW wireless capabilites is the additional EVDO radio in the latter's model.
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
    Wi-Fi + 4G for Verizon model: LTE (700 MHz)3; CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1900 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
    I need to know that before ordering mine and will really appreciate any feedback.
    regards
    Saket

    I would advice you to wait until Apr 27th when Apple is expected to launch the new Ipad in India. As per the Australian situation waters are way more murkier if you want to use 4G.
    As per apple's website both verizon and ATT models will work on 3G GSM/UMTS worldwide just like the ipad 2. However for 4G there is a catch: Both verizon and ATT in the US use 700Mhz spectrum but Apple has carrier locked spectrum in the US so in case you land up buying one of them for example ATTs and India decides to launch 4G in the spectrum that is being used by verizon in the US then you won't be able to access 4G in India.
    As far as I have seen so far India does plan to auction LTE spectrum in 700MHz and 2300MHz band however no official confirmation yet. In case its going to be 2300Mhz( where Airtel seems to be targetting) then it will pretty much not matter whichever you buy since you will only be accessing 3G GSM network there and both verizon and ATT work in the same. In that case I would recommend Verizon since they actually have a functioning LTE network in the US as opposed to ATT(which basically calls its UMTS network as 4G).
    Hopefully I have totally confused you so as I mentioned wait and see what they come out with in 10 days and then you can ping me again.

  • GET THE NEW IPAD with no contract

    Hi everyone
    I am going to travel to te US in few days and i want o know if i can get the new ipad 4g 64gb without contract (At&t or Verizone ) and woh much it coast
    thanks for your support .

    There is no contract for the 4G iPad. It costs $829 plus local sales tax (different in every location in the US).
    In the past only the AT&T (GSM) model would work internationally. Apparenly the new Verizon will also connect to 4G international networks, but I'm not sure if it will work with 3G.
    Both the ATT and Verizon model of iPad can roam worldwide on GSM/UMTS networks. In countries without compatible 4G LTE networks, the new iPad will operate on GSM network technologies such as HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA. When you travel internationally, you can use a micro-SIM card from a local carrier.

  • Can I return my The new Ipad ?

    I'm from Australia. Can I return my The new Ipad to apple with reason about not feeling happly of my Ipad is unable to use 4g network?Thanks

    If you are within the return policy period of where you bought the
    iPad. I believe Apple's policy is 14 days from time of purchase.
    If you bought it from other than Apple, you will have to check with
    the retailer you purchase from.

  • Can anyone tell me or give me a link to the latest response from Apple regarding very real weak wifi signal on what seems to be a batch of both the new ipad and the earlier Ipad2. I have just bought a 2nd hand ipad2 and it has a very weak wifi signal

    Over the last week or so I have been trawling the internet looking for references to weak wifi signals on the Ipad2 and was staggered by the sheer quantity of people who seem to have identical issues, not just with the ipad2 but also with the new ipad. What annoyed me most from reading the reams upon reams of comments made on the Apple community forum is the fairly large number of people who seemed to believe that 'these' people were either just moaners and wingers or else they must have something wrong with their router set-up rather than a serious fault with their ipad and it seems all because there ipad in question works like a dream.
    Obviously I can only speak from my experience, and that is, I have an ipad2 32GB with wifi, purchased about 6 months ago and it works like dream with a good 2-3 bar wifi signal through 2 thick stone walls over 30 feet away. My router is a standard one supplied by my broadband supplier compatible with all 'g','b' and 'n' equipment. However, over a week ago now I bought second hand genuine ipad2 16GB with wifi from a close friend who has just purchased a new ipad3 to replace his old ipad2 (had it for over a year so no longer under warranty). When I started it up downstairs from my router, where I always use my other ipad2 which has a very strong wifi signal, I discovered that the new secondhand ipad2 I had purchased couldnt find a network signal at all. So after doing network resets and all other 'fixes' on the device recommended, I took it upstairs to my office where the router is based and found that the device could now locate the network, but the signal was lost over only 12 feet from the router!
    I quizzed my good friend about this issue and he informed me that it has always been like this since he first purchased it and he never thought that it was a fault, it was just the way it was. When he first aquired the device he did think at the time that this distance was poor, but thought nothing of it as he didnt have any other ipad to measur ethe signal strength against, and as his router was in his living room anyway he nothing of it. Fair enough.
    So, there we have it. One ipad2 with a very good wifi signal and another ipad2  with a very poor wifi signal running off the same router, both with the same IOS 5.0. ?
    As well as all of the other isues that customers have picked up on, such as 'death grip' (which I must say does appear to happen, but personally i dont think that this is a serious issue if you are aware of this issue and have a strong signal anyway), my experience seems to be a good  example of a 'duff' wifi ipad versus a 'great' wifi ipad', an issue confirmed by complaints from a fairly large number of customers who have also reported the same or similar weak wifi signals with both the ipad2 and the ipad3. So, as this shows the weak wifi signal is a very real issue it seems on a batch of ipad2 and 3's, which to my logic is obviously a hardware issue on a batch of early ipad2's and not a software one, otherwise all ipad's would suffer this problem! So, is it a faulty antenna or a faukty network card in an early batch?
    So, the bottom line now is, of course, firstly,  how can I get Apple to fix my other ipad2 when the warranty has run out? Any suggestions anyone?
    Personally I think good Apple customer service should offer a recall with a replacement on this apparent batch of ipads, dont you?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I have one modem in the house but I need 2 different networks.

    I have one modem in the house but I need 2 different networks that will not communicate or even see each other. The first network is the one that needs to be the most secure. The computers are used for personal information, documents, pictures, Apple TV and iTunes home sharing.(3 Apples, 3 iPads, 3 iPhones and 4 Apple TVs)  The second network needs to be for the 3 computers and gaming systems used for social games on Facebook, PSP, XBox, and a gaming system used for World of Warcraft.  The social interactions seem to be the ones that have picked up most of our computer network issues and I would like to be able to isolate them from any communication with our home network (2 PCs and 1 Mac). Is there a way that I can use 2 different routers along with blocking any bluetooth and/or bonjour connections?  I am not worried about a networked printer for the second network, it is more to try and contain any issues that may slip though virus protection and create a mess with our home systems. It would be nice to still be able to set up a Guest Network for the herds of kids and adults to use when visiting as well.  PLEASE tell me this can be done.
    Thank You
    Christine

    Christine,
    Apple may be able to do some, but not all of what you want to do.
    The dual band AirPort Extreme can create a main, or "private" network and a separate "guest" network. The private network can be configured to handle both wired and wireless clients. The "guest" network works only for wireless clients.
    Computers, devices, etc on the "guest" network cannot "see" or communicate with any of the devices on the main or "private" network. But, it is possible to allow clients on the "guest" network to see other devices on the "guest" network, so a wireless printer on this network would allow anyone on the "guest" network to be able to use the printer if you need that functionality.
    You can "extend" the "main" network using more wireless devices if you need more wireless coverage. The "guest" network cannot be extended.
    Depending on the level of service you have with your ISP, you may have bandwidth issues with two networks and multiple devices all trying to use the Internet connection.  I would think that a 25-30 Mbps connection would be the bare minimum to handle what you want to do and 50 Mbps would be advised.
    If you want to use two separate routers, you are really looking at a commercial type installation best handled by commercial products like Cisco, so that might be the place to look.
