It is not possible to change or modify the internal hardware components of an iPad. 


A WiFi Only iPad cannot be transformed into a WiFi+Cellular model. You can, however, use the hotspot feature of a mobile phone - or a Cellular Broadband Router (often known as a MiFi Router) - to access Cellular networks.

Really...

This is never going to happen.

A cellular data service iPad is more than just a SIM card slot!

A cellular data service iPad has the addition of an internal MODEM chip, internal cellular and GPS antennas, a modified version of iOS/iPadOS, that includes all sorts of cellular settings and info in the iOS/iPadOS Settings app.


Sell or trade-in your WiFi ONLY iPad and purchase a cellular data service iPad model, instead.



Good Luck!
