I purchased an iPad Pro from a pawn shop. The cellular function for iPad is “locked” by the carrier (Verizon). What can I do to make this iPad functional?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

You'll need to discuss that with Verizon. Only the carrier can release the carrier lock.

As described, the iPad has a subsidy lock. This usually indicates that the device was purchased directly from the Cellular Carrier at a discount - along with a Cellular plan. The subsidy lock can only be removed by the carrier to which the iPad is locked.
Assuming that the minimum contract period has expired - and all outstanding charges associated with the Cellular plan have been paid, the Carrier may remove the subsidy lock. There may a small fee to remove the lock.
I've "learned" a $1049.00 lesson. No lubricant and all of the pain. Purchase only from the Apple Store or "takes ya chances"! Thanks LotusPilot for your time and help!!!
