Getting iPad 3G - How to obtain a SIM card?
Dear all,
I just preoredered an iPad 3G in an Apple Store in NY (U.S.A., of course...), and look forward for it. So, in the meantime I am wondering how to setup the 3G connection. On the web site, Apple makes a lot of buzz around how simple it is to setup the 3G data plan with AT&T from within the iPad - "without even ever going to the store" or sth. similar. However, I wonder: the iPad still needs a SIM card to work (in fact, a micro-SIM) - how do I get that without going to an AT&T store (or ordering it online or via phone)? Since I have never had any contract or whatever agreement or account with AT&T (I am quite new in the U.S., just here for six months), I wonder what the requirements might be. Is the 3G-iPad shipped with a blank AT&T SIM-card installed? Will my debit card really be enough - or should I take care of that before hands, in order not to be disappointed later, when my iPad comes on a happy weekend?
:-D
Thank You if You can clarify any of my questions!
With kind regards,
Björn
