No.


If the iPad is a Cellular model iPad you may use a sim to get internet service through your Cell carrier wherever you have phone service without needing to connect to a Wifi network, but its not entirely necessary. You can use the iPad without a ism card and connect to Wifi networks for internet access.


If its a wifi only iPad then it cannot take a sim card and as such relies entirely on Wifi networks to get internet.
