Do you need a phone company to use a iPad or can you just use wi-fi?

Yes.


There are wifi only models that only use wifi, or for a cellular model you can buy a cellular model and not sign up for a service plan (although really why pay extra for cellular when you don’t plan to use it?0


The only catch with cellular is that not all carriers are the same, in that they dont’ all use the same technology. A device meant for Verizon cannot work with Sprint or AT&T, so if you plan to eventually have a carrier you may wish to think ahead.
