iPad Wifi

MY iPad came with Sprint cellular data. Do I have to sign up with Sprint? I'm trying to rid myself of them.


THank you

HI rosieshope,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! I'm sure we can help you with your question, but I am a bit unclear on what you are describing. I'm not certain what you mean when you say that your iPad "came with Sprint cellular data". If a cellular iPad is purchased directly from a provider, it may come with a SIM card tied to that provider, but iPads are not locked to a provider. You should be able to switch provider by either changing the SIM card or by using a programable multi-provider SIM card like the Apple SIM, as outlined in the following articles:


Activate cellular data service on your iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3 or later - Apple Support

Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
