Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
a message popped up that no SIM card was installed on my iPad. Do I need a SIM card? What should I do? Thanks
iPad Pro, iOS 12
iPad's which are Wifi + Cellular permit you buy a data plan for your iPad, so you can still get online when you are in places without access to Wifi. It does not turn an iPad into a cell phone as iPad does not have a cellular radio like a cell phone.
If you intend to use cellular services for data on your iPad, you would need a sim card. If you don't want or need to pay for data services on your iPad, you don't need one.
What cellular services are available on iPad? Thanks !
With the SIM installed, you get data allowance where you can connect to the internet without Wi-Fi.
You cannot make calls unless you also have an iPhone.
