ipad 3G works without sim?

TigerUK · 4 Sep 2012 at 02:45

I want to buy an iPad. I'd like to future proof it and get one with 3g/sim option just in case. Although in the short term I will be tethering the internet off my phone, so there will be no sim card inside.

Will the iPad nag me to enter a sim card at all?

Cheers.

It'll work fine without a sim card in it.

If you turn the cellular option off the message doesn't come up

This. Turn it off and its just like a WiFi iPad. I did the same as you, got the 3g just for the odd occasions its usefulnrather than tethering.
