If you have bought the 3G version of the iPad or iPad 2, you may have thought shortly after opening the box – “What… The iPad 2 doesn’t come with a SIM card? I need to go buy one myself before I can access the internet from it?
Yes… That is correct, the iPad and iPad 2 3G versions allow you to access mobile broadband so you do things like browse the internet and read e-mails from it, however you need to purchase a Micro SIM card with a data plan before you can do this. So where do you start to look? Having looked at all the different options, Telstra appears to be good value at $30 for the start up kit which includes the Micro Sim and 3GB of data. Then for the recharge, the best value deal is 12GB for $150 which can be used over a 12 month period. The iPad 3 is rumoured to have 4G capability however this has not been confirmed.
My solution – Amaysim Mobile have recently come out with a Micro SIM data plan which allows you to access mobile internet from your iPad and iPad 2. The plan is great value.
- $99 for 10GB which can be used for 365 day
