Micro sim slot (for ipad2)

I've just bought an ipad2 : WIFI   3G (from a Verizon store in the US) to use in another country but at my surprise there was no slot to insert the micro SIM !  Can anyone help me with this ?

Only posting because I think some clarification is needed. What they are both getting at is three models were made for the iPad2.
Wifi only:
Has an all metal back and can only get access from wifi hotspots.
AT&T:
This model has a little black plastic strip on the back at the top for better antenna signal strength. It also has a sim card because it uses a technology that requires sims. This slot is located on the side towards the top.
Verizon:
This model also has the black plastic bit but it lacks the sim slot because Verizons technology doesn't need sims.
Both the AT&T and the Verizon model are locked to their respective carriers, so to answer your question, yes you have to use verizon for any 3G access, (you can add a contractless plan from the iPad itself in the settings). This also means that even if you had an AT&T iPad you would have to use an AT&T sim. There are ways around this with the AT&T model, though they usually involve messing with the firmware by jailbreaking.

  • I want buy Ipad Wi-Fi 3g in Canada Apple Store.Is it have micro-sim slot for using 3g abroad?

    I want buy Ipad Wi-Fi 3g in Canada Apple Store.Is it have micro-sim slot for using 3g abroad?In Ukraine being exact.

    Lets make it clear.
    The thing is i know that in the US Ipad 2 Wi-Fi+3G Verizon goes without any slot for micro-sim. So i won`t be able to use 3g abroad.
    In Canada store they don`t give no required carrier.Does it mean that Ipad 2 Wi-Fi+3G from there has a micro-sim slot and is ok for using 3g worldwide with local carrier?

  • How do I get an iPad micro sim card for Austria and Italy?  We purchased one for Germany, but it doesn't cover in Austria or Italy

    How do I get an iPad micro sim card for Austria and Italy?  We purchased one for Germany, but it doesn't cover in Austria or Italy

    Compare the roaming charges from the German carrier with services like those:

    Otherwise buy a pre-paid micro-SIM card for the iPad in each country you visit.

  • Micro sim slot

    I bought an ipad2 (WI-FI + 3G 64GB) at a Verizon store, to use in another country. The ipad2 cost me 906 $ (including tax)
    Once back to that country and at my surprise when trying to activate the ipad2, there was no slot for the micro-sim. Some apple community people told that Verizon does not use sim cards.
    I feel cheated !! Why do I pay a full price for something which is limited to Verizon.
    If I knew about that I would have definitely changed my mind and bought the device elsewhere !.
    My Ipad2 is now worthless since i don't need a 3G iPad2 to be forced to use it as a WI-FI only !!
    I sincerely expect a real explanation and a helpful solution from Verizon

    Just like thatdecade said, it is common knowledge that Verizon does not use SIM cards
    Verizon is a 100% CDMA network (Code Division Multiple Access), CDMA technology doesn't use SIM cards, instead, it must be programmed to your Verizon account (and it is usually a long and confusing process to use a CDMA device on a different network, and that is only if the new carrier allows foriegn MEIDs), the same goes for Sprint (though, even though Sprint just got the iPhone 4s, I'm not sure if they have the iPad 2)
    If you had gotten your iPad 2 from AT&T, being that AT&T is a GSM carrier/network (Global System for Mobile Communications), they do use SIM cards, and as long as the GSM iPad 2 is unlocked (which I don't think AT&T allows), it can be used with any SIM
    The best thing to do, is instead of going to a carrier, if there was an Apple store near you, it would be a better idea to go to an Apple store instead and tell them your situation, being that the Apple store is not carrier biased (as they can program AT&T, Sprint and Verizon iDevices), they could give you the right iPad depending on your situation

  • Problem with IPhone4, maybe you have the same!! (related to Micro SIM Slot)

    Hi,
    I have bought Iphone 4 from "Carphonewarehouse" and when I got back home and after I put the micro sim card I shook the Iphone (it is my habit to check if a device properly assembled)
    then I heared sound as if something lose inside, when I tried to figure out I found that the small part, which used to push the Sim out of the slot, is moving so it creates that sound
    So please is that with everyone or just my mobile? let me now so that I can ask for replacement.
    Regards,

    Many thanks for your kind reply. Of course, that's common sense but if some have and others haven't,it means something has to be checked, otherwise if that resulted in other problem I would have no right to complain since that might be considered abuse.
    So please I still need real cases whether this problem exists in all Iphones 4 or not.
    Regards,

  • Crackling sound while pressing the area of Micro SIM slot?

    I´ve to ask the global z1 compact users about the build quality of the devices.
    My first device from amazon.de had a crackling sound while pressing the area of the micro SIM card slot - amazon did an instand replace but the replacement unit also started with this issue on day after set up. I think this is not a general fault but i´m a bit angry with this issue on such an premium device.
    Can you hear anything when pressing this area? what do you think about that? Will you recharge?
    I´ll hope that this is not a problem for water resistance...thinking about the Z in the first times...loosing back panel...

  • Recommend a (USA) micro SIM card for a factory-unlocked iPhone 4s?

    Could be a simple question but I can't find the answer: I bought a factory-unlocked iPhone 4s (from Apple)  for use while traveling abroad (mainly China). I already have a Chinese SIM card to use while I'm China.  I just got the iPhone delivered to me in the US and I want to get it set up and tested before I travel back to China.
    But I'm a little confused about where I can get a micro SIM card in the US  to pop into the phone for a couple of days just to get it set up and running (I don't need a lot of time on the card).
    Can I just pop into any AT&T or T-mobile store and pick up a micro-SIM card that will work?

    Hi, thanks for your answer. I just got off the phone trying to clarify this with AT&T. They tell me that they also have something called a "Go" card that I can get for my (factory-unlocked) iPhone that works without a plan. But, as you pointed out regarding the T-mobile card, it sounds as if I don't get full service on the iPhone. They told me that I won't be ablet to browse the web via the card, only when I'm connected via Wi Fi.
    I am headed out to try to find a card today and will update this thread with any further discoveries.

  • Ideapad S10-3 / 3t - What's the SIM slot for?

    Hello!
    I ordered my 3t, but it hasn't arrived yet.  I saw an unboxing video that shows a SIM card slot under the battery.  Since I can't find any place that customizes for 3G or anything else....I can't find what the slot is for?  Obviously a SIM card, but is there a modem already in these models or is there a card to purchase for 3G support?  I see an antenna plug on the side...any ideas on that either?
    DAVE

    Hi and welcome...
    When open the bottom lid ... there should be an empty place for minipci-e card, thats the place for upgrade..could be one of these S10-3t possible 3G card , (driver for those cards online at driver section) if there is an antenna pre-factory installed and a simcard-reader (not only a dummy hole) , but i think if there is a pre-factory antenna open end plug , 99,9% there is a simcard-reader too..

  • Internal 3G modem with SIM slot for Satellite A500-12W?

    I join this forumn in great frustration because I have spent hours online searching for an answer.
    I run a Satellite A500-12W with a USB 3G modem but I don't like having that fragile thingy sticking out of the computer and occupying one of only 3 USB ports. Under the battery there is a slot that says SIM but it seems to be empty as it cannot hold a sim card in place.
    I do not have an internal 3g modem, I have WLAN capabilities.
    Surely it must be possible to buy a card that goes internally and works in the same way as a USB modem?
    There is an empty slot next to the memory slots that says 3G/TV and something else, is that the place and in that case, which product should I buy?
    I am eternally grateful for any help, this frustrates me greatly. Thanks in advance.

    Hello
    I agree with the user above. I think the notebook case is also used for other models they are support such a 3G module and SIM card and therefore you can see a SIM card place.
    But if such an upgrade would be possible it can be done from an authorized service provider so I would recommend contacting the guys.
    You must contact them in every case because they can sell all original Toshiba spare parts and if such an upgrade is possible you need the parts for that.
    You can find a list of the guys here:

  • How to remove nano sim card from micro sim slot of Z3

    I mistakenly put nano sim card in my new bb Z3 im unable to remove it plz help me out in this issue

    You will have to be very careful. You may be able to use an exacto knife to remove the nano sim. However, it is highly likely you will, if you haven't already, damage the sim card reader. You may have to disassemble the device and even then sometimes it's not possible to remove it without damaging the sim card reader.

  • Micro Sim Purchase for Use in Italy

    Is it possible to purchase a microsim (Vodafone or tre(3)) for use in Italy here in the USA prior to travelling there? Why not purchase over the internet like everything else. Could pay for service and provide necessary info. Would save the hassle of finding a kiosk or shop there.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Just leave it NTSC.

  • Can I buy a new Micro SIM card in France for my Verizon iPhone 5 and use it while in Paris?  Same for London?

    I am travelling to Paris for a week and then London for a week. Can I purchase a new Micro SIM card for my Verizon iPhone 5 in Paris and London and then use my phone with some sort of prepaid plan while in France and England? 

    I just spoke with Tech Support at Verizon and they said Yes, I can use my iPhone 5 in France and England. No unlocking is needed because the phones come pre-unlocked and ready to go. All I need to do is buy a new Micro SIM card in France/England and pick the pre-paid plan of my choosing and the phone will be good to go. Of course, I need to not lose my original Micro SIM card otherwise I would have quite the headache getting a new one once back in the US.
