Cellular iPad

I just received an iPad with Wifi and Cellular capabilities. Is it necessary that I activate the cellular option, or can I just use the wifi option. Didn't realize that I had to have a cellular data plan which requires payments.


Thanks

iPad, iOS 9

You don’t need to use the cellular features if your don’t want to. You’ll get along just fine using WiFi.


Having the cellular option gives you more than just a cellular radio - you also get the GPS capabilities. GPS is not available on WiFi Only models of iPad - and never has been!
