iPad 3G Sim Cards - What Are the Options?

The Apple iPad has now started shipping across the UK. The sales of this new and innovative gadget has been massive and it is proving to be one of the best selling Apple products of all time. As you may or may not know, the Apple iPad come in two versions, a 3G + WiFi enabled and a WiFi enabled. Being WiFi enabled, means that you have to be in a WiFi network in order to be able to access the internet. However, when you go out of WiFi range, you will need another method of connection – this is where 3G comes in, but you need a SIM card for this.

This is where you will need a SIM Only deal for your iPad. Take note that the special SIM Only boasts are only for the Apple iPad but not for various other Apple gadgets such as the iPod, iPhone or any other Apple machines.

There are at present in the United Kingdom have been made available on 4 main mobile networks. These include Vodafone, Orange, Three Mobile and O2. All of the networks have different ways of putting together their SIM plans and they can vary in price, data transfer limits and durations of the contracts. You can get your iPad card, on a 1 month (this is the maximum), 1 week or even 1 day. The great thing about the iPad, is that it know when you are in WiFi range. So, when the free internet access is available, it will automatically switch to this connection. As a result, you will not be eating into your data allowance.

What you decide to go for really depends upon your estimated usage amount. In the event that you find oneself using the iPad each day for pretty much everything from exploring the net to watching clips on YouTube, chatting with friends, to checking your emails, you will want a 5GB or 10GB iPad SIM Only contract to keep these needs. Should you will only use the iPad to check on e-mail and only browse the net for about 1 hour a day, the cheap 1GB more your thing. If, you are unsure how often you are likely to use it for, you might want to consider going for one of the 1 day access SIM only cards.

These iPad 3G SIM cards work in a very similar way to mobile phone SIM only cards, in terms of their contract lengths. With iPad 3G data plans you are not tied down to any long term contract and the longest period of time you plan can last is 1 month. Of course, if you like the service, you can re-new this easily, but if you are unhappy, juts ring up and cancel and find a deal on a alternative network. This is a pretty good way of doing things, as you have more freedom of both choice and on your spending.
