iPad from eBay has no SIM card?

No, they don't come with a SIM card.

YES, they do come from the factory with a sim card. this iPad was probably used and the sim card was removed before selling, possibly due to the fact it was "attached "to the original owners account. As previous posters have said just go to an ATT store and obtain a new one, no big deal.

Depends on the Country. I'm in the UK and acquired my sim card separately to my iPad as I hadn't made up my mind which provider to go with at the time of purchase.

Hm... Mine was definitely delivered directly to my door from the factory in China with no SIM card.

To the OP, yeah, if it is a 3G like you wanted, don't worry, nobody is trying to rip you off.

Mine came direct from China with a SIM card. Go figure!

If his is really a 3G, it will have the option for "Cellular Data" in the Settings Menu.

Mine arrived with a sim also. I guess just 1 more reason that the USA is better than the rest of the world

I had to buy my sim card separately I decided to go with the Pay As You Go with O2 maybe different though as I am in the UK

THANKS to all of you. I went to the ATT store and they gave me a SIM card for free with no questions asked. The store rep said it should be $25 but it wouldn't let her ring it up? I stuck it right in the slot and the message "no sim card installed" disappeared.

We are loving our new macs. Once again thanks. I do hope to be a positive member of this community in the future.

When I got my 3G (in Canada) it was separate from the sim card. The card had arrived earlier, it was .20 cents on my bill. But it was a Rogers/AT&T.

All stores that sell phone services sell a sim card for 10 dollars, so I bought one from Telus whom I've been with for a long time.

Receiving your iPad without a card means that you're free to choose your service provider, more of a blessing to me after all.
