Is the iPad PRO LTE sim lock free?

[biosci]

Thanks. Under "Cellular and Wireless" on http://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/specs/ , I see "Data only". Does that mean I cannot use the iPad PRO like an iPhone to make/receive phone calls?

VoIP, Skype,hangouts etc work...

cell phone carriers perceive your ipad with its bigger screen will generate more data charges then phones with smaller screens, and this is why some carriers like t-mobile do not want you putting voice sims in ipads.

i have owned iPads dating back to the original cellular ipad. i never in my life have owned a wifi only ipad. and this is not the first time i could not put a voice sim in an ipad. perhaps the cellular companies are more flexible now , and i didn't get the memo

Yes, perhaps you didn't get the memo. I do it on Verizon all of the time.

AT&T has go phone sims. they are a voice sim that does not work on iPads either. if you insert an AT&T go phone sim in an ipad, it will not even connect to the cell tower. its a useless brick. i tried this sim card myself. luckily fry's electronics allowed me to return it because it was already opened.

and the funny thing is they have this special sold separately AT&T go phone sim that costs $15 that is specifically for the ipad 3 or the original ipad mini 1.

AT&T claims that no other ipad will work with this sim

i asked AT&T several times whats the deal here with this sim?? , why are you charging people $15 for a sim card and only limiting to these two iPads??? , when i can just go into any AT&T store and get a free sim card for any cellular enabled ipad i have ???

they never responded to me. they censored my questions. i got an email back saying i was muted.

i think they are charging you $15 so you can pay cash for your ipad plan


so i would say verizon is the exception here.

Exception or not your statement was a blanket no you can't do it, and that's clearly not the case.

It also works with Cricket SIMs so I suspect there are other "exceptions" as well.

cricket is fairly recent. they were a cdma carrier 2 years ago.. the only reason they changed their rules is because AT&T bought them

verizon just recently white listed all iPhone 6 phones , but verizon and sprint don't seem to want to activate my a1687 unlocked 6s+

what verizon giveth, verizon taketh

Hi,

I have a question and hope you guys can help me out with this. If I buy an iPad Pro 9.7 in UK, which is officially described as simlocked to O2 UK, will I still be able to use it with my Telekom data simcard?

Best regards,
Kai

The iPad is very different then the iPhone. The iPads come with Apple Sim which allows you to go to any carrier in the US and over seas.

The Apple sim is good except for Verizon you need a verizon sim
