If you cannot find the SIM card slot using the article referenced above by stedman1, then you have the Wi-Fi only version of the iPad.

Thanks, I looked at the Apple site and it would be helpful if I could identify the Sim card slot on my iPad. I have a covered area looking like a slot but its not where the diagram says it should be and I cant remove the cover so far.

You don't "remove the cover" as it's not a cover. It is the SIM card holder itself plugged into the slot on the device. If you looked at the linked article, you would see that there is a small hole in the SIM card holder. To eject the SIM card holder, you insert the end of an unfolded paper clip into the hole and press it in firmly. Re-read the linked article posted by stedman1 above.

Thank you. I see the small hole now. My iPad has a silver cover 1/2" long x 16th" wide next to the small hole. I imagine that's because there is not yet a sim card inserted.

Correction to my reply in response to SergZak. Yes, I see that the "cover" must be a Sim card holder. thanks for all your detailed help.
