Ipad mini wifi or wifi with cellular

I would like to buy the ipad mini as gifts this year. But I'm undecided as to which one I should get. I know the difference between the wifi and wifi cellular but can someone tell me if I buy the wifi cellular will they need to get a celluar service to use the pad or can they use it just with the wifi and they want in the future they can purchase the cellular.
I guess my question is, can you use the ipad wifi cellular with or without a monthly payment as long as there is free wifi?
Thanks,

You do not need to activate the cellular service unless you want to.
It starts at about $20 per month for Verizon.
The Wi-Fi + Cellular works on Wi-Fi just fine just like the standard Wi-Fi model.
If you know you will never need the Cellular version, then you could just purchase the Wi-Fi model.
I know many friends that have bought the Wi-Fi with Cellular just in case they want to use the Cellular in the future.
You can purchase the Cellular service month by month and end it anytime you want without a contract.

  • I have an IPad mini WiFi (not cellular) and an IPhone 5. I use the bluetooth connection between both devices when on the road. I downloaded a navigation system on my IPad using GPS positioning. Is Bluetooth OK to use GPS positioning on the IPad?

  • 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

  • Ipad mini wifi cellular purchased in Germany Help !

    Can I use a ipad mini wifi cellular purchased in Germany when I go to UK if I buy a micro nano sim in UK ?

    No iPads ( or iPhones for that matter ) come with a sim
    in or out of the box
    You have to buy a sim either on a PAYG or contract
    Your iPad will  not be locked to a carrier
    and you can switch the sim as often as you like
    I always turn off my idevices before changing the sim
    this eliminates any potential conflicts
    this might also help

    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

  • 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

  • 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 Wifi come with GPS

    GPS is very important function of device like iPad but it is not listed on tech-specs of iPad mini wifi version. Is it true that it does not come with GPS?

    A mini-education...
    GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Navigation software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.
    Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once every two years).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
    Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
    The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

    What roaming charges? If you have a local plan there are no roaming charges. This is a major reason for using a local plan.
    Contact, or visit the website,  whatever local provider you are considering and get their plan details.

    What do I have to do if they still would refuse the change it? In fact I just searched for the warranty policy of apple.. So I got an problem after an update of apple, they recongized its their fault, their software fault.. In their warranty you can read the following: Cover of breakdown service or replacement with regard to. --> Lacks which arise after supply to the customer.  So in fact i should get a new one?! But i can't obey them or can I? What should I do?
    EDIT: in my router logs I see this a few times: Blocked incoming TCP packet from 198.144.121.77:80 to 178.117.139.126:3072 as SYN:ACK received but there is no active connection  What does it mean?
