Can Verizon 3G be added at a latter date to the IPad with WiFi only?

Not to the iPad that I know of but you can pick up a Verizon hotspot or tether the iPad to your smart phone and go that route at a later date if you pick up the wifi only version.

No, you won't be able to add 3G later. Your only option is to buy a small portable 3G or 4G device that you can carry with you and then setup a monthly service with Sprint or a similar company.

No, the wifi verison cannot be upgraded to 3g. Though you can get the 3g and only use wifi on it, and then later on get a data plan. If you are in the market for an iPad I recomend to skip the iPad 3rd genetation because Apple just annouced a newer iPad today for the same price. I think you can get that new model in November.

NO, there is a chip set that enables the ipads to use 3G or 4G (LTE), but if you are thinking of getting cellular, you need to pony up the extra $150 now... you don't have to use it, but you won't be able to without the chipset in the ipad that will increase the cost by $150... but I would wait!!!!! They just finished notifying us that starting on Friday, there is a NEW Generation iPad (4th generation) that will have a A6X chip instead of a A5 at the same price and will be twice as fast for WiFi or Cellular and also in processing!!!!! In addition, they just announced an iPad Mini that will start at $329, and it will NOT have a retina display, but have the same display the iPad 2 had, but have all of the other features the current 3rd generation iPad has, and for another $130 or so, you can add cellular, so for $460 you can get a 7.9" ipad mini with cellular and 16GB of memory.

No you have to buy it with the iPad, when purchase. Yes, take the iPad to Verizon , and they will put a sims card in for you! You can have the service turn on, but mostly every where you go, there is free WiFi, so unless you are going out of the country then you would need that service! Hope I answer your question!

I don't believe the question was answered. I also want to buy this phone and NOT use it on Verizon Prepaid, but instead merely use it to access WiFi, as if is an Android tablet. Can it be done?

Yes you can change providers, if you are referring to wi-fi; whatever is available in your area. If you are referring to cellular data, your I-pad comes with specific carriers, but if you want to switch to another carrier like AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon, you have to invest in a Sim Card for your I-Pad ( approx. $10 for the card ), if the carrier is available in your area.

Not sure. We only got the wifi model and use our iPhones as a hotspot for Internet on the iPad when we are not at home.

No. This is only wifi connection. You can connect via wifi in anywhere. This Ipad do not have sim (gsm carrier) option.

You don't need a wireless carrier (i.e. Verizon, AT&T. T-Mobile, etc.) if you only want to use the Wi-Fi. But if you choose to keep your device on a network at all times, not just when you can find a Wi-Fi network, you would need to pay their monthly fee for the data services.

The one I purchased was the wifi only model, but as far as I'm aware the models being sold by this seller are all carrier unlocked and can work on any network. You just have to be sure to specify what 3G network your using weather Verizon or AT&T;

You can use just your wifi, which is what we use. It is a great ipad, our second, and my husband uses it daily!

You have to pay for the internet if is that what you are asking, the iPad comes with a SIM card slot to activate a data plan with the mobile company you want, and also you can connect to any Wifi network if you have the login credentials or if the wifi is provided as free by an establishment. (your friend's house, the college campus, Starbucks, Panera Bread, etc)

no it must active by verizon, no phone will get wifi with out active it, your locked in for six months before you can switch to a different carrier

You can't add a cellular plan to connect to the internet through; you can use another cellular device that offers a "mobile hotspot" to make the connection, like if you have an iPhone with a data plan you can use the Personal Hotspot feature to share your data allotment with the iPad.

Would the WiFi version of the iPad be good enough for general surfing on the web? I would probably only use this during lunch or sitting around killing time when I am not at home, news sports etc. I would like to stay away from adding another monthly expense associated with the 3G.

It means if you have Verizon cell phone service that when you are out with your iPad that you will not be charged for roaming charges while you are on your iPad i wish I had gotten this with my iPad with AT&T but then again a lot of places you go to now have free wifi and then you can use there wifi for your ipad

I think if you buy the 3g/4g enabled version you can, but honestly this tablet is not worth your time. It does not hold a charge, and if you plan to use wifi, mine did not work. I sent it back to amazon right away.

Just wifi is fine, that's what I have. I do have AT&T; mobile service but I have not associated the phone and IPAD as yet.

I do not have any experience with the 3G iPads but would expect most likely this would work as it is not routed by the antenna's that I can tell

It means the ipad will work on wifi (wireless internet) like on your home network or in hot spots that offer wifi. The verizon means you can use this version to access the internet via 4G (which you have to pay for) on the verizon cellular network.
