Hi All

going to get my ipad 2 on 23rd Sept & going to get the 3g version, now i have been looking at the micro sims & not having much luck for what i'm after can anyone help!? I am wanting a pay as you go style where i would purchase an 'X' amount of gb i.e 10gb but instead of it running out in 30 or 90 days, i just want to be able to top it up as & when i want. I use alot of wifi rather than 3g plus have the 3g on my iphone so do not really want a contract just to use it a little.
Any ideas if its possible or is 'Three' the best deal where i buy 10gb & it lasts 90 days or buy 1gb & it lasts 30 days or just get the 1gb per month for £7.50 & its only a rolling 1 month contract so i can cancel if wanted.

Cheers

I just bought an Ipad but went for the wifi only, if I need to use it out of wifi range I can tether it to the Iphone by bluetooth and use the phone as a personal hotspot. The money saved by not getting the 3G option I put towards additional memory for the Ipad. Job done.

On eBay you can buy Three sim cards. I just paid £11 for 3 months / 3gb.

(it was a full size SIM that I had to cut down to fit into the iPad)

hhhhmmmmm, just been looking on fleabay & noticed that you *could buy* if im working this out right a normal simcard & buy a cutter to make it a microsim or buy a cut down one & then i can use any sim on a pay as you go & cut it down if i bought the cutter & top up when i like. Does that work!? there are people on there selling giffgaff sims that have been cut down to micro sims to use in iphones & ipads, so it must work - right!?

Ive got both iPhone and iPad how do you tether them ?

I've switched Bluetooth on but they don't seem to find each other?

You don't need a cutter, it is easy to cut them down to micro-sim size. Lots of templates on the internet.

They work great.

Make sure that you are running the latest operating system update on both the iphone and ipad and make sure that your data service provider will allow it. I'm on an unlimited data plan through vodaphone and it works fine.

ive got a asus transformer very impressed with it, it connects with my iphone 4's wifi and uses my free 3g from my6 voda contract, i think the bluetooth connection is slower is it not?

I don't find it any slower than web browsing on the Iphone itself.
