IPad 3G: Verizon or ATT better Queens NY?

I'm buying an IPad for my friend who doesn't have broadband at home. He lives in Nassau County, just east of the Queens border.
Have tried researching Verizon vs. ATT online, but not much info. Do know ATT is supposed to be faster but less reliable. Wondering if folks have compared the two near this location. thanks

Which is better verizon or att for cellular?

which is better verizon or att for cellular?

The 3/4G iPads are Verizon or ATT. You choose which one you want when you buy the iPad. It can't be changed.

Which ios6 Beta outside US for iPad 3rd generation? ATT or Verizon?

which ios6 Beta outside US for iPad 3rd generation? ATT or Verizon?

I'm wondering the same, since the developer forums have been down since the release.

IPad and Verizon

I would like to buy an iPad, but the only cell company in our remote area is Verizon. I know it's possible to run iPad on Verizon, but it sounds like it's complicated and that I might not be able to use all features. Any advice? Thanks!

Sounds like you're confusing WiFi with cellular 3G. If you have an Internet provider, regardless who even Verizon, all you need is a wireless router to contact either to your cable modem or DSL. Once you have WiFi in your home or office you can use the WiFi capability of the iPad. And when you take it somewhere else it will seek WiFi networks and ask you if you want to connect to any it finds. Of course you'll need to know the loggin info unless the network isn't password protected.
If there is no wifi where you are and you don't have an iPad with 3G then you can't connect to the net. If you get an iPad with 3G but there's no ATT where you are, and you can't get a wifi signal, then again you won't be able to get online.
If you can get online either by wifi or ATT you can make VOIP calls with apps like Trufone as the pas has a mic and of course speakers. Alternatively you can plug in earphones that also has a mic like you'd use on an iPhone. There are lots of them on the market and you can also get them at any Apple Store.
Lastly, to be clear you can only connect via 3G if you have a 3G iPad and through ATT currently.
Hope that helps.

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.

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.

IPad 3 Verizon LTE sim issues

I have an iPad 3 32gb Verizon LTE. I use the data service Verizon provides on an as needed basis. I had activated the 4G LTE service on my account one month and did not need to use it the following month so I deactivted it. When I went to reactivate the same iPad on Verizon LTE network a few weeks later the service could not be reactivated. I spent 3 hours at a Verizon store and we kind of figured out that it had to do with turning on and off the 4G sim. From what I was told the 4g sim only on Verizon does not like to be turned on and off. They had to delete my profile associated with my iPad through Verizon database and let me recreate a new profile on my iPad. They gave me a new sim card and it still did not work (this is after resetting network setting and reprovisioning the account) I ended up having to erase my iPad and then it worked.
Now a month later my company decided that they want to start paying for our data plans on our iPads. So I cancelled the current 4G LTE personal plan and was issued a new 4G LTE sim card that was tied into our business account. (I was the one who issued it as I am in IT) Now my Verizon iPad will not reactivate with the new sim card provided by Verizon that is to be billed to my company. It seems like the same thing is occuring that happened previously on my iPad..
Anyone else having these issues of activating/disconnecting service with Verizon on the new iPad 3?
I had an iPad 2 and never had these issues. I could just cancel and reactivate my account at any time.
Oh and Verizon hasnt been much help they are pretty **** clueless most of the time.

I'll add some fule to this fire, with a similar if not exactly the same issue w/ getting Verizon pre-paid service on my new iPad.
Background: I have a first generation iPad with At&t pre-paid month to month service, which works like a top...flawless. I am also stationed in Germany, and utilize this feature for our travels to the States, as it is very efficient and the iPad is lighter than a laptop. I can pay for a month and then turn it off upon return to Europe.
This past March, I purchase a new IPad w/ a Verizon sim, as before we moved to Germany we had Verizon cell service, which we were quite happy with. So one would think that an iPad w/ a Verizon sim would work just as well, if not better, than the At&t iPad. Negative.
I tried activating the new iPad cellular data in early May 12, only to receive an "Activation Error." Three attempts later, and I call Verizon Tech Support for a remedy, and have all my info taken down with a reassurance that I will be called w/in 72 hours by their engineers to help resolve the issue. They are unable to issue me a trouble ticket, though, for my reference. four days later, I call again, explaining the situation, and there is seemingly no record of my information or situation. I again am assured of a call back w/ in 72 hrs from their engineers, and am informed that Verizon is having a few issues w/ the new iPad.
I decide to activate service on my "old" iPad, through At&t, and do so without issue. Hmmmm....
I also go into a retail store to see if an in-the-flesh Verizon tech can help me out. Long story short-nope, they could not (without charging me a $35 activation fee along w/ a 2 yr contract for the service.) As this was unacceptable to me, I declined their offer and moved along. (At&t never charged me a $35 activation fee!)
Three days later, I call Verizon again with similar results. This tech now recommends that I take my new iPad, which I had sent to me from Apple via an online purchase in March 12, into an Apple Store as it was defective. After a lengthy conversation with the tech regarding this issue, I request to speak w/ her supervisor, as I have yet to have any return calls from "engineers" within 72 hrs and I am a long-term loyal Verizon customer. She places me on hold, and then the call is terminated. Amazing.
We just today returned to Germany today, and never were able to utilize the cellular data function of our new iPad w/ the Verizon sim during our travels. I was also unable to get any assistance from Verizon over the past 17 days to reslove the issue. Not even a call back. Had I a choice to do it again, I'd stick w/ the At&t version of the new iPad as well. Verizon's services are simply unsat, and all the personnel I spoke w/ were clueless and unable to resolve my iPad issue.

How about some more samsung products in the auctions ? I really don't want to bid on those crappy ipads. How about a better mix of product lines or at least some of your "new" digital coupons geared towards Samsung products????

HT204023 I have an Ipad with Verizon wifi + cellular. Can I use this and cancel my additional wireless service at home?

I have an Ipad with Verizon Wi Fi + Cellular. Can I use this as my sole internet provider for this device?

If you choose but you need to be careful with your data plan and make sure you use wifi at home. This approach will make you pad a sole source so others in tying household will need to use your device. It's really your call.

IPad with Verizon does not work in Alaska.

If you live in Alaska and considering an iPad with Verizon don't do it. It does not work anywhere in Alaska. I recently purchased an iPad while travelling in the lower 48. The Apple sales people displayed the Verizon coverage map which displays wireless coverage for the populated parts of Alaska but what they missed is that you have to change the map to the Verizon Pre-Paid coverage and look for purple colored areas. There are none for Alaska. The map defaults to Extended 3G coverage in Alaska but that does not apply to the iPad.
I was on the phone with one of their Pre-Paid support people and they confirmed no coverage for Alaska. By the way, the Pre-Paid phone support is at 888-294-6830 but that number is not accessible from Alaska. From Alaska you have to first call 800-922-0204, Option 6, ask to be transferred to the Pre-Paid support number. Verizon - Alaska is a state of the USA!!!!
So all I can do is use the thing via my home wireless network. I cancelled the data plan and will need to turn it back on when I again travel south. Looks like I should have stuck with AT&T. At this point I have to return the iPad and get one specific to AT&T.

So I finally figured out how to access my Verizon account on their web site. There is actually a phone number associated with the account. My iPhone is with AT&T so the Verizon iPad is my first experience with Verizon. I looked for the plan you mentioned but don't see it. Can you provide more detail? What I currently have is what Verizon calls the "Prepaid Cellular Data" plan. That gets me 1GB of data per month and it automatially renews each month billed to my credit card. Is that the same? If so then the Extended 3G network does ot work here in Alaska.

Differences between verizon and att for facetime?

any restrictions? wifi required for both?

yeah att wont let all its customers use facetime on 3g but verizon does. att is blocking all its customers that are not on a family share data plan so they cant use facetime on 3g !!!!!! do unfair att !!!!!!!!

Do I need to download any antivirus Program for IPad 2, which program is better?

Do I need to download any antivirus Program for IPad 2, which program is better?

But you could have viruses that may not effect an iOS device or even a Mac, but could easily be unwittingly passed on to PC users. So, if you send and receive a lot of email with attachments,and many of your receivers are PC users, you may consider whether you want to risk forwarding them a virus, etc.

Recently tried to upload photos on my iPad to the iCloud PL beta and in the process it removed all the photos from my device through the photo stream. No CPU backup of photos, photos are older than 30days. Any third party recovery software I can use?

Recently tried to upload photos on my iPad to the iCloud PL beta and in the process it removed all the photos from my device through the photo stream. No CPU backup of photos, photos are older than 30days. What can I do?

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

HT3574 on the new iPAD 4G Verizon has anyone been able to make the Hotspot work with the USB Cable to a Windows 7 PC ?

On the new Ipad 4G (Verizon) - I am unable to Hotspot it with the USB Cable. I can do it with Wi-Fi and Blue Tooth just fine - but not directly connected from the iPad3 to a Windows 7 PC. It detects, it even opens up the Folder os that I can see the DCIM but no internet on the PC (but works fine using Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth hotspot). Any ideas ?

Attach the cable to your iPad and then to the USB, than go to settings chose the third option "personal hot spot" turn it on, a notification will pop up asking you if you want to use wifi or Bluetooth just select no and automatically work.

My iPad is hacked. Since a few weeks, every time i try to install a new app there is an phishing attempt. Forcing me to put in some "security questions". Is there any way to clean my iPad and to protect it better than vanilla ios?
