If I bought a IPAD Mini wifi only, can I upgrade to a cellular service?

I bought a IPAD Mini with wifi only.  Can I now upgrade to add cell service?

No. A WiFi only iPad does not have the necessary hardware for cellular service and iPad's hardware cannot be updated. If you want cellular service, you need to buy an iPad with cellular from the get-go.
If you are in the US and bought the iPad less thatn 14 days ago from Apple, you can return it and buy the one you want. If not directly from Apple, contct the retailer you purchased it from for its policies.

  • I bought new Ipad mini, wifi Cellular. problem with Apple ID

    I bought new Ipad mini, wifi Cellular. And created Apple ID, its asking VISA card number to register payment method, I given my ICICI VISA card details but Its showing as, "Payment method declined". Anybody can help me?

    We can't help you in any meaningful way.
    User to user forum, we have no access to Apple stuff which would tell us why your card was declined.
    Only suggestion-use a different card.
    Contact Apple to see why your card was declined:

  • IPad Mini wifi only works properly for 30 seconds!

    Anyone have the same issue?
    iPad mini's wifi internet connection only works breifly on my network
    Everytime I connect my iPad mini to my wifi, Internet on the iPad Mini works PERFECTLY but only for around 30 seconds.
    Next time i connect my iPad mini to wifi, same thing happens
    Internet on the iPad Mini then becomes very slow to a point where it will not load webpages, web content for apps etc
    I have laptops, an iPad 1, iPhone 4, and an xbox that connect to the same network no problem at all
    iPad mini works perfectly on other people's wifi network however
    Already went to Apple geniuses, went to Apple hotline, and Apple online for help. They took me through all the troubleshooting steps but no answers that help
    (upgraded firmware, reboot and restored both iPad and Router, messed with router settings etc)
    only trouble-shooting step that wasn't taken was the change router settings 2.4Ghz to 5 Ghz because it didn't seem possible on my router
    Help!

    If the WiFi on your iPad works well on other networks the problem lies in your WiFi router or in its configuration. If there is no router firmware which solves this problem I'd simply replace the router.
    Strange that among all the detail in your post you didn't mention the make, model or version of the WiFi router that you are using.

  • How does the ipad mini wifi only know my location when not connected to wifi?

    I thought the wifi only ipad mini does not have a gps chip.  Yesterday however, I was driving around with my wife in the car (no wifi) and the ipad mini was able to keep track of my location on the map I had pre-downloaded.  How is this possible?

    Your WiFI only position is determined by the iPad keeping track of the names and intensity of the various WiFi signals and comparing that to a database of WiFi access points with their locations.

  • Why my ipad 4 wifi only can't use full funtion of apple map?

    Hi, i had an ipad4,but i can not use full funtion of apple map .it mean when i use gps navigation it do not  speak ,it only bold the road you set .that 's it. So please someone help me out.or gps only work on wifi + cellurlar

    Only the cellular iPads have a built-in GPS chip, the wifi-only models don't. There are some external GPS units that apparently work with it e.g. Bad Elf GPS.

  • How do I delete music from my ipad mini wifi only version .

    I've got the free give and it's shocking but I cannot delete it can anybody help .
    I've tried what other people have done but nothing :(

    By connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes, and either removing it from the list of music that you sync to the iPad and re-syncing, or selecting Music under the iPad 'device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and deleting the tracks that you don't want. You can't delete music directly on the iPad

  • IPad mini wifi problems since Yosemite Upgraded

    SInce upgrading to Yosemite on my iPad 2 Mini, the wifi has slowed massively! Is there a fix?
    thanks!

    First of all, I would be totally impressed if you managed to install Yosemite on your iPad.  I can only assume you didn't mean that.
    Here is a link to some tricks that have worked for other people.

    I bought my iPad mini two weeks ago and used my apple ID to make it sync with my iPhone. But so far I have not been able to activate iMessage and face time. It only gives me the option of signing in and when I do that I get an error message telling me that either my user name or password for my email is incorrect; even though I have been using my correct my apple ID in the password entry area. My apple ID works for every thing else. Please, can you help in this case?

    Apple's customer support can certainly do that, but it is not necessary. AppleCare follows the product, not its owner.
