Hotspot

Do you have a WiFi Only model iPad, or WiFi+Cellular?

If you have a WiFi+Cellular model iPad, you can activate cellular service by installing a physical DataSIM that you will obtain from a Cellular Carrier of your choice, or for supported models, by activating a Cellular plan using the iPad's built-in eSIM:

If your iPad does not have a SIM slot, then you have a WiFi Only model of iPad. WiFi Only models do not have any Cellular capabilities - and hardware cannot be retrofitted.

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

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