Local SIM card for ipad 3?

[artistabroad]

Friends are coming out this weekend with their new ipad 3, which I believe can connect to the internet with a local SIM card - does anyone know where to purchase such a thing? I assume it's not the same card as a mobile uses - or is it??

Agree with Andrew, I came here with my Samsung Galaxy Tab, and they set me up, dowloaded skype for me etc, the girl in their is very very clued up

I wouldn't bother for the short time they are going to b with u. Just use local bars/hotels. And of course your internet.

I use a telsim micro sim in my I pad and find it really good. However loads of free wifi almost every where now.

Re message five - I agree, but it's their new toy and they want to play with it! Will post how they get on, cost etc for those interested.

Hi I would be careful when using any mobile for the internet, but by all means get a micro sim at least it will stop the enjoying message 'No Sim Card' you can get a card from almost any main mobile provider shop, but when ever you can use WiFi as this is free, set your I pad to ask to Join networks in the WiFi section( settings then General), this way it will alway ask you to join any wifi it picks up, most cafe & bars will give you the password, the good thing is the iPad,iPhone,iPod will alway recognise this wifi and connect automatically not using your mobile internet time
I pay 250 units for 250MB as a standard monthly charge, this is usually enough using the way I have explained
Like all internet services on mobiles its costly

Good luck

ozonkoyboy,

If your equipment ('phone / computer / tablet) will accept a 3G sim card, then 5 or 10GB of internet use will cost no more than 70TL.

Perhaps your 'phone won't work on 3G, but an iPad3 certainly will, and give full internet access at (normally ) very high speeds...
