Can I get a standard nano-SIM from AT&T and use it in new iPad Cellular models or is the Apple SIM required? I want to use the SIM in other devices as well as the iPad.
You cannot use your cell phone sim in the iPad..even if it is the same size they use different APN profiles...you can only use a sim provisioned for a hotspot or another tablet...not a phoneCan I get a standard nano-SIM from AT&T and use it in new iPad Cellular models or is the Apple SIM required?

I was asking about iPad data nano-SIMs, but thanks for clarifying. I'll have to specify to AT&T that it's for an iPad.You cannot use your cell phone sim in the iPad..even if it is the same size they use different APN profiles...you can only use a sim provisioned for a hotspot or another tablet...not a phone
Wow, how can AT&T do that? Did you do the prepaid iPad plans that you can subscribe from the iPad itself? That kinda sucks if AT&T can magically change the prepaid plan that you already pay for.You can use any of the sims on anything... But... FYI, I had an ipad (data only) sim I ran for a month on an iphone 4 that I use for a GPS on my motorcycle (I do not want calls, it is only for the gps maps), and they switched it to a phone. The system was smart enough to realize it.

I know T-Mobile simply block the device type.
Ah okay. Try the prepaid route then. The last time I tried it, I can use the SIM on any devices. The only catch is it can only be renewed on the iPad. Hopefully it has not changed.It isn't a pre-pay plan. I simply added a new device to my family share plan. I used an iPad IMEI, but used my iphone. It worked for a bit, then it simply switched over to a phone plan. I tried... They won.
