Where do I obtain a micro sim card

I have an IPad II 3G, however I need a micro SIM Card and do not know where to obtain one.  also I don't know why I need a SIM or What the Purpose is, other than storing my information!  Please Help?

If you have a WiFi+cellular iPad, you need a sim card to access a cellular service provider, such as Verizon, AT&T, etc.  The sim has the instructions and access information that the iPad needs to transmit to the cellular provider's network so you can activate your iPad on the network and communicate with the network.
You need to obtain the sim from the cellular provider.  In some countries or with some providers, the micro-sim can be obtained at authorized retail stores and outlets.

  • 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.

  • HT4199 where do I put the micro sim for the iPad, dosent seem to be any where to insert the card

    Where do I put the micro sim for the iPad , I cant find any where to put the card.

    What model is your iPad? (iPad, iPad 2 or New iPad). Did you get the AT&T or Verizon model? If you got the Verizon model, it doesn't have a SIM slot.

  • Replacement micro sim card

     I have sent you two e-mails regarding my replacement micro sim card. I have received a    confirmation e-mail with the following information  "ID number of this form submission on the EE website is 4884865 - this number may be helpful for technical support, but otherwise you can safely ignore this." This receipt of form submission was received on 14th July.  To date I have still not received my micro sim card, nor can I get in touch with a human being as all your offered options do not cover my query.  Please can you find a homo sapien to reply to me and not an automated machine!

    Where did you send an email. EE don't have email for mobile custs.
    To get a replacement SIM, Take phone & old SIM into an EE shop & they'll transfer credit, no. & (SIM) contacts to SIM of correct size for free or order online https://explore.ee.co.uk/Order-a-new-SIM for £10.

  • Where can I buy a mini-sim card for my iphone 5 in Norway or Denmark or France?

    where can I buy a mini-sim card for my iphone 5 in Norway or Denmark or France?

    This original post is mine
    I wanted to clarify that Verizon has unlocked the phone for me before I left the US
    The international sim cards that I have been able to locate in Norway are caled Mycall or Lebour.
    They are labled mini-sim cards but do not fit nor are they as small as the original Verizon one.
    I am out in the country-side now but will be in Bergen, Norway and Copenhagen, Denmark over the next few days.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • I have an SIII and will be traveling out of the country.  Do I need to get a micro SIM card ? (I was told that Verizon has them for free but it needs to be set up and there was a charge for this.

    I have a Samsung SIII and will be traveling out of the country. Do I need to get a micro SIM card instaslled for international ?  I was told Verizon has them free for customers but that it needs to be "sert up". Also, are there alternatives to going through the verizon data plan (which is very expensive.
    Thanks

    Your phone already has a micro SIM card in the device so it can connect to the VZW network. You will need an international plan from VZW if you intend to use that SIM card. Otherwise you can get a new SIM card from the local carrier and setup the phone for global use with a separate APN with that carrier's specific information.

  • What is this micro sim card ?

    What is this micro sim card and is this phone not work with regular sim card which available in india.

    A mico SIM is just the standard SIM in a smaller form factoer.  With care one can cut down a standare SIM to use in a device that uses a micro SIM as long as the SIM is compatible with the carrier.  Google forinstructions for cutting down a card.
    I do not fully understand your questions since the iPod Touch does not use a SIM or micro SIM card.  The iPads and iPhone 4 uses a micro SIM.

Help anyone.

    O2 will and do unlock iPhones for their customers and quite happily compared to some other UK carriers
