Can I connect a sim card to my ipad mini (WiFi)
Nope. You cannot connect sim cards to iPads. You can insert them into the iPad's sim tray if it has one. Which if its is a Wifi only model it wil not have the tray nor the cellualr hardware to do anytihng with it.

    Best solution would be to give or sell it to someone in Mexico who can use it.  You can do othing with it if it is locked o  Mexican cell carrier.

  • How to insert SIM card into the iPad mini?

    How do I insert the SIM card into the iPad mini?  It is different tray to iPad 3. Please advise. Thank you.

    Hi Try the number 0000 or 1234 If this doesn't work ask for a PUCK code from your sim provider Also try the Passcode you use when you  turn iPad on Its a good think to have a simlock because if you lose your iPhone /iPad someone can use your  Simcard If it's not got a lock on. Cheers Brian

  • Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

    Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

    Depends on the model of iPhone, and the actual cellular plan it has.
    If its an iPhone 5 with an unlimited Data Plan you may be able to do it.
    Any other model of iPhone or a plan without a data packcage will not work.

  • Can I use my iPhone 6 SIM card in a iPad Air 2

    If my iPhone 6 SIM card would work in an iPad Air 2, I would purchase the wifi + cellular model. Anyone able to answer this? Thank you

    If you could ,why would you want  do that? So you are going to be switching your SIM back and forth between devices.? Not practical. And your are going to pay more money for a Wifi+SIM model and only use it with a SIM part of the time? Not economical.
    Do what Alfred has suggested and use the Personal Hotspot on a Wifi only model if you want to "share" the SIM. Or if you buy the WIFI+SIM model opt in to a data iPad plan with your carrier. If you already have data on your iPhone, some carriers "allow you to use the data plan on more than one device for a modest add on fee. Contact your carrier.

  • TS2756 I can not see personnel hot spot in setting cellular, I have restore iPhone 5 twice but can not see this in china, china telecome nano SIM card.

    In iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.2 can not see option in setting for setting>>cellular >> ? How to enable hot spot icon to choose. Cellular service provider china mobile , it's Internet and call service work well, iPhone have restore twice but can not see hot spot option.

    Personal Hotspot is provided by the carrier, but not every carrier offers this service. Contact your carrier to make sure that you can get this option.

  • I can't open my SIM card tray on iPad mini?!

    I used like 5 paper clips and broke every one of them trying to open the tray. The box didn't come with a SIM eject tool, so I'm screwed. What do I do?!

    how did you break them, the clip should be used to push straight in, no turns are necessary.
    I suggest you take to an apple store or phone provider and have them take a look as it sounds like something is amiss in your unit.

  • HT3939 if I purchased iPhone 5 GSM A1429, then I tried to use CDMA SIM card inside the same phone, does it'll work and provide me signals ???

    Hi All,
    Regarding iPhone 5, at the latest model, if I bought an unlocked one from UK Apple Store,  iPhone 5 GSM   A1429, then I tried to use CDMA SIM card inside the same phone, does it'll work and provide me signals or not. ??
    Thanks for your answering.

    The answer is complicated. None of the major carriers offer PAYG service in the US, but if you buy a contract-free phone for full price you can get a plan that can be canceled at any time from any of the major carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile). There are smaller resellers that offer PAYG service (StraightTalk, for example), but they are hard to deal with.
    The most liberal is the GSM carrier T-Mobile. They have "unbundled" the phone from the service, so if you bring your own phone or pay full price for a phone the monthly cost will be lower.
    The other 3 will charge you the same monthly cost whether you pay full price for the phone or get a subsidized phone.
    Verizon iPhone 5 series phones are unlocked out of the box for international use (thanks to a condition the FCC imposed on Verizon when they were allowed to buy a substantial chunk of spectrum). They are the only phones sold in the US that will work on LTE bands in the UK and Europe.
    Sprint is not a good choice, because they give you a hard time if you want to unlock your phone.
    AT&T phones are locked, but they will unlock the phone if you pay full price or pay off your early termination fee. However, they will only work on GSM in the UK, not on LTE (4G).

  • IPAD MINI cellular version cannot connect "China Telecom" EVDO network

    I'm glad to recieve an IPAD MINI wifi+cellular(BCGA1455) from my GF as a gift, which she purchased from Hongkong and engraved my name.
    But it's pity that when I put my "CHINA TELECOM EV-DO" sim card into IPAD MINI, it's failed to register. Then I put my "CHINA UNICOM" which is "WCDMA" sim card, it works properly, and it's OK with my another "CHINA MOBILE GSM" sim card
    I checked from APPLE WEBSITE that the BCGA1455 IPAD MINI should support EV-DO network. Does any one have some clues? Many thanks.

    It means that the carrier's network may not work well, if at all, with your iPad. Cellular data networks must meet a certain set of specifications from Apple in order to be fully compatible with their devices.
    According to this page from Apple: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1937
    Your carrier does not offer LTE for iOS devices at this time.

  • Can i use someone else's sim card to activate my iphone 5c and then take it out?

    I ordered an iphone 5c through eBay and i had been told before (by an iPhone 5c user) that i could use it as an iPod. But the iPhone does not come with a SIM card and i was told that the guy before did not transfer his account. If i use someone else's sim card, can i activate my iPhone using itunes and then give it back? if not, what can i do to activate it that does not require for me to buy an active SIM card? It's a sprint phone

    You will not be able to use a SIM to activate a Sprint Phone. The Sprint phones are CDMA devices and would have to be activated through Sprint. Your best bet if you would not want to use Sprint as a carrier, and do not have any intention to use the device as a phone to return it for a refund. You would have to have a Sprint contract to activate this phone.

    What is the reason for Apple to skip this function? In fact, I feel pretty uncomfortable with this decision, it hinders me from using the iPad in a useful way. What is the reason to allow tethering on an iPhone and not on an iPad?
    We are all just your fellow users. No one here is going to be able to answer those questions for you. Bottom line is, for whatever reaons, you cannot use your iPad as a mobile hotspot. If that's the reason why you bought it, you need to either return it or sell it.

    Many people find that it's still a useful device even without that feature.
