You do have an iPad WiFi+3G (or 4G)?

Do you have a microSIM installed?

It should have cellular capibility and i dont think i have a microSim installed. If i have At&t as my computer internet provider already and the Ipad is connecting through that would that be the difference?

If you do not have a microSIM installed it will not show a cellular option.

Does your ipad have a large black strip across the back or is it all aluminum?

If it is all aluminum, with no black strip also on the back, then you have a WiFi only iPad.
