Using another cellular data provider

Dears,
am thinking to buy a new iPad 2 Wifi+3G but i want to make sure that it works with different cellular data provider like STC or Mobily in Saudi Arabia.
am i able to change the AT&T SIM Card with the one i have here in my country?
Thanks

AT&T 3G iPad purchased from Apple in the are not carrier locked. If your carrier will sell you a data SIM (really a uSIM) and a plan, they it will work with that carrier.

I just downloaded the latest OS upgrade and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan.

I just downloaded the latest iOS.7 upgrade on my ipad2, and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan. I have checked my data plan and it's both current and over 2GB remaining. However the indicator shows no service, thus would be the best steps to recover. Thanks much for any support that can be provided.

How can I connect to my wifi router, but still use my cellular data?

I have setup a (off the internet) router at work to allow other Iphone users to connect with each other, as well as use the Apple TV. My Iphone 4S tries to use the wifi for email, web browsing, youtube, Netflix, etc... I would like to use my cellular data to load Netflix and such, and then stream them over my local wifi to the Apple TV. Is there a setting I can change that will allow me to do this? Thank you.

Nope. You connect to either WiFi or the cellular data network, not both at the same time.

What is using my cellular data?

iPad 2, freshly reset, recently updated to iOS 6.1. The only installed app is Skype, which is set to go offline after 60 min. Location services are disabled, cellular data for Appstore ist also disabled.
I now had the iPad lying around for two days and according to my cell bill on both days around 3 am it used the internet, yesterday 15 kB, the day before 140 kB. This is a problem because in my cellular data plan any day where I use cellular data, I have to pay 2,50 €.
I know that I can disable cellular data completely, but I would rather have the iPad just don't use it when it's off (for more than an hour, when Skype shut down).
What can also cause this traffic?
Or are there any apps to block all applications from using cellular data except Safari and Skype?

If the phone is asleep and not connected to an external power source, it will use the cellular data connection for mail, push notifications, etc. This is by design. To keep the WiFi radio on with no external power source connected would drastically reduce battery life. Of course, it appears Safari and App Store are using WiFi, because they can only be used interactively... Mail will use WiFi as well IF the phone is not asleep and is connected to a WiFi network.
If you turn cellular data off, the phone will power up the WiFi radio to poll the mail server since there is no other option.
You can set mail to retrieve message manually instead of using push or polling. This will ensure that pulling down your mail can only be initiated by you, and if you make sure you have a live WiFi connection before doing so, it shouldn't be a problem.
Since you've seen a sharp increase in the last month, I'm assuming you're either getting much more mail than you had been previously, or you've been getting more 'large' messages or both.
I don't know what kind of data usage you're used to seeing or what you consider a sharp increase. Is it pushing you over your cap?

How do i figure it out what app use the cellular data in standby mode?

How do i figure it out what app use the cellular data in standby mode? I disabled the cellular data for 3 days, and my battery last longer. I don't use push notifications, neither location services. I'm not signed in in skype or any IM app.

Do you use push email? Do you have accounts that have synchronized calendars associated with them? Those features will still use cellular data in the background as the receive mail and send or receive calendar updates.
Some notifications, like push notifications from Facebook and other social networking sites may use cellular data in the background. Basically, any automated data task like those may use cellular data when the phone is in standby (note that wifi would be used if available when the phone is active, but wifi turns off in standby and all data goes through the cellular data connection).

Can we restrict a master data characterstic using another master data chara

Hi All,
Can we restrict a master data characterstic using another master data characterstic, if they were both compounded together. There are two fields viz.., A,B in r/3 master data table in which A and B combinely serve as a key. In BW side i have created a master data object for A and compuded object B ot it. So that i am getting all the data from r/3 table. But in query designer when i am trying to restrict object A values by object B, in a structure i am not getting any data. If i do same out of structure i am getting data in report. Please help in overcoming this problem.
Regards,
Rajkandula

Hi,
Yes it should display data, but it is not displaying. If i am doing the same restriction out side of a structure i am getting data. But whilr trying to do so, i am not getting that. The reason why i am bothering about structure is 'Objext B have 10 different values and i want 10 coloumns in report in whicg Obj A must display respective data when i restrict it by B' , whicg i can do this only if i use structure else i can't restrict B that many times .
I hope u got my problem and plz give help me in this.

HT4157 Why is my ipad saying no SIM card when I try to use my cellular data?

why is my Ipad saying no SIM card when I try to use my cellular data?

I use Filedrop. It seems to find EVERYTHING when Aridrop won't.

Why can't I use my cellular data on Iphone 5 while I already set it on?

It says 'couldn't not activate cellular data network'. I mean everything worked fine at the beginning but then recently I just couldn't use the cellular data anymore which is weird

It is up to the app developer to decide if the app should work in landscape mode or not. This is also true on Android phones, by the way.

HT204023 If my iphone is connected to the internet via wifi will it use my cellular data if I use it as a personal hotspot or will it use the wifi's internet???

If my iphone is connected to the internet via wifi will it use my cellular data if I use it as a personal hotspot or will it use the wifi's internet???
The wireless on my laptop brokebut I can still connect to my phone when I plug it in. My iphone is connected to the wifi but is this being transfered onto the laptop or is it using up my data???

Personal hotspot shares your cellular connection with other devices via cable, bluetooth or WiFi. If you turn on the hotspot, the phone will be disconnected from the WiFi network you are on and share access to the cellular connection. That's what it's for. It's using your data plan if that's what you're trying to do.

I was going to say either that or to remove the email from your email account settings(on ipad) and put it back on. Happens everytime im forced to change my work email password. I need to delete the account and add it again for it to accept the new password.

TS4079 Can I use the cellular data from my I phone 4 to get directions from Siri

Since I have Siri on my iPad when the location device is turned on, can I use my cellular data from my iPhone 4 to use Siri for driving directions?

I think you can.
I did it when I bought my iPhone 3Gs. If you have a copy of your iPod it should work.

LG G3 Unlocked phone not able to use to cellular data

Hello I am using LG G3 Unlocked phone and my carrier is AT&T. I am able to connect to WiFi and everything is fine about it. But when I don't have WiFi accessible, the cellular data is not working. I made sure that the Cellular Data icon is turned on and the preferred network mode is set to already set to "GSM/WCDMA auto". The other preffered network modes were 1. GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, 2. WCDMA only, 3. GSM only. I can manually change and make it stay at WCDMA only. If I try to keep in the 1st option, it reverts backs to its original "GSM/WCDMA auto" status. The Access point names shows AT&T PTA and inside that it shows a preview of plenty other things like PORT, PROXY, USER NAME, PASSWORD and none of them can be edited. Please advice me on how I can use my cellular data.

You are right Glimmerman76. I am not able to link up to the LTE thing in my phone. It is currently using preffered Network mode as GSM/WCDMA auto and I cant change it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto in the settings. Could you please suggest me on how I can get the LTE in my phone? Do I need to update my phone details with my carrier or do I need to make any changes to the new APN that I have created? Please advise me on this. I appreaciate your help. Thanks,Hari

I subscribed to ITunes Match and also have my phone backing up to ICloud. When I listen to a song on my IPhone, and I am not connected to wi-fi, am I using my cellular data plan? I'm concerned that if I am on a long drive and I listen to music for several hours, am I going to use u

The end of my question was: ..."am I going to use up my monthly data plan?"
Thanks.

HT1976 how to not use up cellular data on iPhone 4s

My cellular data is almost used up for the month and I don't know why because I have been Using the wifi from in my home

When the phone sleeps and wifi is then turned off (automatically), the cell data channel is used to communicate.
To avoid this, Settings>turn on airplane mode, then in wifi, turn on wifi.
I believe WiFi will stay on if the iPhone is plugged in. So, that's another option.

Hi, Jmcruzs.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on what you mean by software update to provide a better answer. However, it does sounds like you may have automatic app updates enabled. Here is a helpful article that will help you adjust these settings.
