I have a 4th general iPad Wi-Fi only model. Is it possible to add LTE functionality to it with an adaptor or switching the sim card? I am assuming not since the technology probably needs to be pre-built into the motherboard and / or at the very least it would be expensive to add-on. Just wondering. I notice there is a Verizon Wireless Nano 4G LTE SIM Card 4FF. I am not sure if it is for that purpose or not.
Thanks for the link. I saw a device that reflects the MiFi technology being used on the Verizon Web site, which is my current wireless provider. I was hoping it would not involve any add-on fees other than the cost of the device itself. It sounds like the set-up is not user friendly and the connectivity can be a mixed bag. So what does this Verizon 4G LTE SIM card suppose to do?
A Verizon 4G LTE SIM is the SIM that goes into a 4G LTE device to connect it to the network. Your iPad is WiFi only. It has no 4G LTE circuitry and no SIM slot.
Personal Hotspot devices are very easy to use. But, like any connected device, there is a cost. If you had a cellular capable iPad, you'd pay a monthly fee to connect it to Verizon.
