I have an iPad 3G AT&T and will be going to Portugal for 2 weeks. Can I use my iPad there in 3G and WiFi, and if so, what do I need to do? Thanks.
Wi-Fi access is universal. Accessing a free or paid wi-fi network is the same in every country.
If you want internet access via a carrier's cellular network while there, you need to get a micro-SIM card from a carrier that offers a pre-paid data only plan for the iPad and for similar type devices.
Thanks. Who offers such data only plans who could provide a micro-SIM card? Do you have any idea of the cost?
You're welcome.
I have no idea but as with just about everything else, a Google or internet search is your friend.
Hello,
I'd be keen to know how you got on as I too have an IPad2 3G and am planning to take it to Portugal.
Otherwise can anyone help suggest an economical local providor who will offer a pre-paid micro SIM card for data?
Thanks!!
I bought a tmn sim card for about 15 Euros at an FNAC department store. I used that when I wasn't near a Wi-Fi spot and it worked very well. It included 2 GB of data. I never reached that limit during about 12 days of use, though I didn't do much web surfing. Recharging it would have cost about 10 Euros.
Thanks alleycats - I'll let you know how i get on!
