Ipad iOS 8.1 constantly asking for unwanted and unneeded data plan.
I have an Apple 4th Gen iPad With Retina Wi-Fi 32GB For Verizon - MD526LL/A that was recently "upgraded" to iOS 8.1(12B410). Now, the device is constantly asking for me to setup a data plan. I do not wish to have a data plan with this device. I only use it on wifi. I bought the Verizon capable chipset merely to get the GPS capability and NOT to use a data plan. That has worked fine for over a year until the iOS 8.1 update. I have cellular data turned off, same as before. Apparently, Apple does not support issues that they create, as I was prompted to pay $29 for a support session. I've searched the web and see other users reporting the same problem. In some cases, turning off Bluetooth appeared to fix the problem. That is not going to work for me as I use Bluetooth with this device. Any suggestions on a fix? Any suggestions on how to get Apple to support devices that they break? Thanks.
