iPad cellular
Hello, can I use a normal phone sim on my new iPad cellular or do I need a specific sim that only has data on it? As I found a sim that does unlimited data, texts and calls on Three but wondering if this will still work on the iPad
Question marked as
The vast majority of phone SIMs cannot be used with iPad (or other tablet computers). ‘Phone and Tablet SIM are usually provisioned differently by the Cellular carrier.
An iPad can only access Cellular Data services - and not Cellular Voice or SMS/MMS Messaging services. As such, your iPad will use a DataSIM.
Cellular carriers often market “unlimited” data plans for iPhone and other mobile phones - although many apply a “fair use” cap. Similarly, “unlimited data” SIMs often disable (or heavily cap) hot-spot capabilities that allow data sharing with other devices.
You would be well advised to check with THREE if the proposed cellular plan can be used with iPad - before committing yourself to a minimum contract term.
