    If yuu purchased the model that also includes the cellular radio. Then just place a data-only sim cad in the iPad.

    If it's the WiFi only model, the only way to connect it to a cell network would be by either tethering the iPad to a cell phone that offers Personal Hotspot, or by obtaining a "MiFi" device from a cell carrier.

     

    Regards.

    Nope. You cannot connect sim cards to iPads. You can insert them into the iPad's sim tray if it has one. Which if its is a Wifi only model it wil not have the tray nor the cellualr hardware to do anytihng with it.
