If you purchase your iPad directly from Apple, you are free to choose your Cellular provider - either by
a) obtaining a SIM (and Airtime contract) from your chosen Cellular provider - or
b) where supported by the particular iPad model, activating service directly on the iPad by using the embedded AppleSIM or eSIM.
