Ensure that your iPad 8th Generation is a Wi-Fi + Cellular Model.

See the image below to determine where your SIM card tray should be located on your iPad.



Install a nano-SIM

You can install an Apple SIM card or a nano-SIM provided by a carrier.

  1. Insert a paper clip or SIM eject tool (not included) into the small hole of the SIM tray, then push in toward iPad to eject the tray.
  2. Note: The shape and orientation of the SIM tray depend on the iPad model and your country or region.
  3. Remove the tray from iPad.
  4. Place the nano-SIM in the tray. The angled corner determines the correct orientation.
  5. Insert the tray back into iPad.
