If you buy an ipad mini with cellular - after 2 year contract ends...

can i still use the ipad as a wifi only?  or do you HAVE to have cell service?

but what if I don't do even the month to month - even though the ipad is the wifi + cellular, can you still just use it as wifi only?  (Hope this makes sense)

  • If I buy a ipad mini with cellular, and not sign up for cellular service, can I use the onboard GPS, or does it depend on the cell signal since it is aGPS

    If I buy a ipad mini with cellular, and not sign up for cellular service, can I use the onboard GPS, or does it depend on the cell signal since it is aGPS?

    Right. But as I understand it, the aGPS is a function that speeds location using cell signals, but isn't necessary for the GPS signal. I can buy a plugin device that is a real GPS that I can use with my iPad mini. However, I would need an app for maps. I was wondering if anyone had used one of these.

  • Ipad mini with cellular for ireland

    If i buy an ipad mini with cellular in the usa, will it work in Ireland? if so does it matter which cellular i choose?

    Both models are GSM compatible, so it doesn't matter at the moment which one you pick, it will work in Ireland.
    This will change once LTE is in operation in Ireland (early-mid 2013), since two models use different LTE bands.
    LTE in UK (and most likely Ireland) will be band 3, so if you want to be able to take benefit from that, you need to make sure your model is A1455. In US they use mostly band 4, which is compatible with model A1445.

  • Planning to buy iPad Mini with Cellular in US with TMobile Carrier. Is this unlocked? can i use my iPad in India with there cellular service??

    Planning to buy iPad Mini with Cellular in US with TMobile Carrier. Is this unlocked? can i use my iPad in India with there cellular service??

    That will depend on how you buy the iPad.
    If you buy it from an Apple Store directly at full price it will be unlocked, and can take a sim card from any compatible GSM carrier.
    If you buy it directly from T-Mobile under a subsidy(at a discount price tied to a service contract)  Then it may be locked to T-Mobile for at least 40 days of service with them.

  • TS4268 If you buy an iPad mini in the UAE without FaceTime, and then bring it back to the UK and supply it with a UK carrier sim card will FaceTime download itself and work?

    If you buy an iPad mini in the UAE without FaceTime, and then bring it the UK and supply with a UK carrier sim card will FaceTime download if connected to iTunes?
    Thanks.

    An iPad from the UAE can not have FaceTime installed/activated, even if it is in a different country.

    I want to buy an ipad mini Wifi Cellular and use it in Central Asia,so there are two models: A1454 and A1455,what is the difference?

    Either will work fine in Central Asia as loge ad the carries support GSM (almost all do).
    One of the iPads will only work with the AT&T GSM) network if you are in the USA and the Other with the Virizon network (uses CDMA, not GSM/SIM) if you are in the USA

  • An apple representative told me its ok to buy a Ipad mini wifi cellular because they are NOT locked devices, I can just take the at

    An apple representative told me its ok to buy a Ipad mini wifi cellular because they are NOT locked devices, I can just take the at&t chip out and put in another carrier. and it will work

    I thought apple change the name from Wifi + 3G to Wifi + Cellular because it has features to work just like a cell. e.g. recive calls and text etc.
    My question is can it really do that? or is their an app I can down load to received calls with the cellular data number and also send out calls? or sms messages?

  • Does Ipad Mini with cellular make calls?

    does Ipad Mini with cellular make calls? Is it supported in Malaysia?

    The best app I found is Fongo. Available in the Canadian appstore only.
    Free with an ads banner. It gives a free phone number. It allows 911 calls. You can receive and make free calls to most of Canada. You can receive free sms from anywhere and make free messages only to fongo users.
    Paid services are available in 4 packages:
    1-World Credits: $5, $20 and $50 Credit to make international calls and to canadian cities outside free calling areas;
    2-Unlimited Canada Texting: $1.99 for 1 month, $4.99 for 3 months and $9.99 for 6 months of unlimited Canada texting;
    3-Unlimited Canada + US Texting: $2.99 for 1 month, $7.99 for 3 months and $15.99 for 6 months of unlimited Canada and US texting;

    The second app I recommend is Magicjack.
    Free without ads. Free subscription allows free outgoing calls to USA and Canada and incoming calls from MagicJack users. $10 per year to get a US number for incoming calls.
    Canadian numbers are avaialable for $20 first year then $10 per year.
    No sms services available.
    The third best app is Google voice and it alows free calls to USA and Canada. In order to receive calls you must subscribe from USA on http://voice.google.com to get a free US number. Then you can get an app called vtok from appstore to receive calls. This app will not give you notifications of incoming calls unless if it is running.
    Vonage is a good app for free calls to US, Canadian calls cost 1 cent per minute (used to be free).
    Skype is an interesting app that allows you to subscribe to different services.The best is the 2.95 per month unlimited US and Canada with the following options:
    1-A caller ID with your US or Canadian number
    2-Skype to Go Numbers (local numbers assigned to skype contacts and long distance phone numbers)

    You can definitely use it with wi-fi. However, cellular would depend on your local telephone company.

  • Do i need to sign a contract when buying an ipad mini wifi+cellular?

    I'm going to Paris for my summer vacation and I was planning to buy an iPad mini in an Apple  store in Paris, Wi-Fi + cellular model. So I was wondering if I can buy the iPad mini without contract and then use the Sim card from my country.

    No, you do not have to activate the iPad when it is purchased. I have had one for over 6 months and have never activated it. Using it in your home country will depend on the network requirments there and how compatible they are with the specifications of a French iPad.
    As far as warranty goes, currently, you would need to return the iPad to France (or the country of purchase) for service. Although there are rumors of a change to this, but like all rumors, who knows if or when that may change.
    Good luck.

  • I'd like to buy an iPad mini WiFi + cellular in the USA

    Hello everybody!
    I'm from Italy but I'll soon go on an exchange program in the US. I wanted to buy an iPad mini there because I'm going to need one. I think that iPad mini WiFi + cellular will be the best option so that when I'll come back to Italy I can use it with a local sim. But in the US I would use it as if it was only iPad mini WiFi, so I wouldn't buy an it&t/verizon sim, whereas in Italy I would buy a sim and use it as it is, WiFi + cellular. Would it work or not?

    Yes as long as the provider supports iPad data plans.
    Read the specifications

  • Can I use ipad mini with cellular without SIM card

    I have purchased a ipad mini with wifi and cellular, thinking I could use my UK SIM card when required but leave it out when not in the UK. (Live in Qatar)
    I can't activate imessage or facetime, and also I didn't realise it needs a nano sim not my micro sim. I get a cannot connect to network message.
    Do I need to purchase a new sim for the ipad to work properly, I did assume it would work the same as an wifi only ipad if sim wasn't present.
    Thanks

    Thanks James. I was hoping that was the case.
    I've already updated the software, from a quick search that seems to be the network issue for imessage/FaceTime. Is there a fix for this? Ive no back up to go back to.
