I have a new Ipad that came without a SIM card. This idiot has no clue. What do I need to look for in SIM cards. AT&T, Verizon and all of the phone companies offer them. Pease give me some advice. What to look or look out for. Will I need to change it if I go overseas?

If you have a WiFi+Cellular model iPad - and wish to provision Cellular service using a physical SIM card - you will need to obtain a DataSIM suitable for iPad from your chosen Cellular provider. Be aware that many cellular providers also facilitate provisioning using the built-in eSIM.
If you plan to visit overseas, you may wish to consider “roaming” - for which additional charges are usually levied. Alternatively, you might instead use a local DataSIM, or use Apple’s carrier partners for short-term (if potentially expensive) cellular access.
