Ipad 4 WiFI + Cellular Without Long Data Plan Contract

Dear Best Buy
I just ask my friend to buy Ipad 4 WiFi + Cellular on 06 November 2012 but when he go to best buy your staff told that unless i need to sign on 2 years contract plan. I need to ask you that could I buy Ipad 4 WiFi + Cellular without apply 2 years contract or I can only apply Month-to-Month contract? Anyways, If possible I need to change my Ipad 4 from WiFi only to WiFi + Cellular, this ipad is still in sealed box with completed proof of purchase. and could I change it to the Best Buy nearest of my home town? Please feedback to us ASAP.
Thanks
Pisoth

Hi You_Pisoth,
I apologize for the confusion. You can indeed buy the iPad on a month-to-month plan or without a plan at all if you like. Any Best Buy store should be able to make the exchange for you. Just be sure you have your receipt with you when you stop in.
Cheers,

IPad Air (wifi + cellular) WITHOUT nano sim card

Just recently bought an iPad Air (64 GB, wifi + cellular; A1475) on eBay, brand new, except that the seller removed the Verizon nano sim card. My questions:
What possible reason(s) would the seller have for only removing/keeping the nano sim card from the iPad?
I assume I won't have any problems getting a new/replacement nano sim card from Verizon when/if I sign up for service with them, correct?
From what I've briefly researched online, it seems as if even though the iPad Air is supposedly specifically for use with Verizon, I can actually obtain/use nano sim cards and service from other cellular providers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Spring), correct? (See also here.)
FYI: The iPad Air truly was/is brand new. Never activated, never used (absolutely spotless).
Thanks in advance for any information/advice!

AFAIK, the iPads are not carrier-locked, so IFF you need to have carrier-based Internet connectivity and are willing to pony up the cost, you should be able to get the SIM from the carrier giving you the best deal and live happily ever after.
That being said, I have a Wi-Fi+Cell iPad 4 purchased directly from Apple which has never felt a SIM card in its innards. Bought it instead of the Wi-Fi-only model cause I wanted the full GPS capability. And between the office (BIG 1 Gbps pipe to the Internet on our LAN) or at home (much more modest ADSL wireless router), been quite happy ignoring the No SIM onscreen warning. When not at home or the office and iPad use becomes indispensable, I simply tether it to my iPhone 5's Personal Hotspot and its 4G pipe to the Internet. Will NOT pay twice for the same shît.

Buy ipad with wifi cellular without contract

Help me

They are not sold under contract. You enable and pay for the cellular data when/if you want to use it. If you need it for one month, pay for one month. The only thing you are tied to is the cellular carrier (Verizon, AT&T, etc).

I am eligible for an upgrade on my basic phone that I own. Since there are only a small amount of basic phones, is it possible to own a smart phone but without a data plan?

There are only two basic phone with full keyboard that is available online, but was hoping that it would be possible for me to own a smart phone without needing a data plan.

You can own and use a smartphone on wifi only, without a data plan, but you will not have the capability to use it as a phone on Verizon's network. To activate a smartphone and have calling (phone) capability, yes, you do need to have a data plan for the smartphone line. You CAN have a minimal data plan, and use it on wifi primarily - but yoju DO need a data plan.

You can not connect to the internet with a WiFi only iPad without WiFi. You can get a mobile hot spot from your carrier but that still connects to the iPad via WiFi and comes with a monthly data plan like a cell phone.

Yes you do not need a Sim card for it to use Wi-fi

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.

Can i use ipad mini wifi cellular in Bangladesh?

can i use ipad mini wifi + cellular in Bangladesh?

WiFi works wherever you can find a WiFi Access Point/Router and you know the connection passcode, or it is an open wifi.
Cellular will work if you sign up for a local iPad data plan and sim card.

Upgrading a dumbphone to a smartphone without a data plan

When you upgrade a dumbphone to a smartphone, you have to add a data plan to that line. You also have to sign up to continue on a new, 2 year contract for that line.
Am I correct in believing that the contract only applies to maintaining phone service, and not the data plan? In other words, can I use the upgrade on the dumbphone line to get a subsidized smartphone, sign up for the 2 year contract extension, pay 1 month of data, and then go back to the dumbphone, dropping the data plan on that line?

But I could then move that smartphone to another line on the same plan, a line which has unlimited data, but for which Verizon will no longer allow subsidized phone purchases without losing the unlimited data...
correct

I want to buy iPad mini wifi + cellular for indian freind. Which Carrier should i select while buying it online?

I want to buy iPad mini wifi + cellular for indian freind. Which Carrier should i select while buying it online?
As far as i know service provider is not a constraint for i pad as ipads are always unlocked. Also, do we need to get nano sim from US or India srvice provider will have it? i am asking this as in Singapore iPads are offering 3 free nano sim cards.

There is no CDMA in Europe or UK if that influences you, only GSM
All the UK Carriers offer Data nano sims ,on contract or PAYG
and this will help on 4G

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?

Personal Hotspot disappeared on my iPad 3 (wifi+cellular) after iOS 6

Personal hotspot was available and working on my iPad 3 (wifi+cellular). After upgrading to iOS 6, I cannot see anywhere personal hotspot option in the Settings application.
I also have an iPhone 3GS which is also running iOS 6; personal hotspot can be accessed from Settings app menu and working without any problems.
I'd appreciate your help to get personal hotspot working on my iPad 3. Thanks in advance.

Open Settings and tap on “General”
Tap on “Reset Network Settings”
Now tap back to Settings and you should see the familiar Personal Hotspot option. Yes, you will lose your wireless network passwords and custom DNS settings by resetting network preferences, so be sure to note any necessary network settings before doing so.
give your iphone a hard boot by holding the power button and home button. This will insha'Allah resolve the issue.

LG Octane without a data plan. Any way I can send a text from my Octane to my computer gmail?

I have an LG Octane without a data plan (have an iPad for that). I want to send texts from my Octane to my gmail. Any way I can do that through Verizon. I know I can use @vtext to send email to a phone number. But can I send a text to an email? Thanks.

If you have a text plan just input the email address in the to field of the text and send away. If you don't have a text plan then I think you would be charged per text. Mary

Can I use an Android phone without a data plan?

Please read all of this before responding. You will not be helping when you show a clear misunderstanding of my question.
I do not need a data plan. Everywhere I go has Wi-Fi, and I am perfectly content to not have internet connectivity in the event that I don't have Wi-Fi. What I want to know is if I can buy a phone from a store (not from Verizon or a contract renewal) and replace my current phone with it without needing a data plan. There is NO software/hardware reason why I couldn't, and the only reason I would need to is as a Verizon requirement.
As an additional question, if Verizon doesn't allow it, is there any workaround?
I want an android phone not to have ubiquitous connection to social media. I want an android phone to have platform to run software on in addition to making/receiving calls and text messages. I would not utilize a data plan and it would be a waste of money.
Additional info:
Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data? There's no hardware or software reason why I need a data plan, and there IS a point to having a smart phone without a data plan: Wi-Fi. I don't need to have redundant internet access. The only reason conceivable for why I'd need a data plan is because Verizon wants more money for no additional service (I wouldn't USE connectivity provided by a data plan). I don't want to have a mobile platform for running software and a phone filling my pockets, I'd like it to be in one. All the connectivity I need is for calls and text messaging.

I stand corrected!
Here's an article on the subject with a good discussion and a somewhat dodgy suggestion for non-Verizon service: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57555091-94/can-you-ditch-your-smartphone-data-plan-for-wi-fi/.
Here's a discussion on a T-Mobile forum laying out the options (as of last November): http://support.t-mobile.com/message/198200. It sounds like it would meet one of the OP's desires: "Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data?" Not on Verizon, but probably on T-Mobile.

HT1222 IPad mini wifi+cellular does not allows to enable restrictions in fact there is no such alternative under Settings- General.. I need the passcode for several purpose, how can to avail it?.. Please somebody ASAP

Hello,
A day before got new IPAD mini (Wifi-Cellular). When trying to look forpasscode enable option, it ended with nothing to avail. Would like to know if there is any such priviledge or not. Secondly, when the iPad is left idle for awhile ,say, 5 minutes,, a poor screensaver pops up and continues to play IPad advertisement, which we usually find in DEMO products @stores. Doubtful, if seller has handed over bad/demo stuff to me. Please suggest. It took whole of last night to figure out on Google, but no success.
Thanks

Morning driving,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
iOS: Understanding passcodes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4113
If you are unable to modify certain passcode settings, there may be a configuration profile that requires these passcode options.
You can find out if a profile is installed by tapping Settings > General and looking for the Profile setting between Accessibility and Reset.
Best of luck,
Mario
