I want to swap my 3rd generation 64gb 3G ipad, for the same as a mini. However cellular is confusing me, can I get 3G on a cellular ipad? Please help. Want to put the sim I take out of the ipad into the mini. On the apple shop website, the cellular model is £100 more expensive then the 3G one, however in currys it only sells cellular. I do not want to make a mistake it's a lot of money.

3G and cellular are different ways of referring to the same thing, they can use the mobile networks for data. The cellular/3G models are £100 more than the wifi-only version.

The 3rd gen iPad uses a micro-sim card, the Mini iPads use smaller nano-sim cards, so you won't ba able to use the same sim card.

Thank you for your quick response that's a big help. I will buy the one from currys and order a nano SIM card to replace the one I have so it is on the same plan.

Thanks
