DHewson has great advice with the 3G/4G options available in Australia......

I have had both a Telstra and Optus sim and IMO the Telstra service is much better. I wouldn't even bother with Vodaphone though.

As your iPad is still boxed you could always just return it and upgrade to a cellular one if you like. Apple does have a 14 day window in which you may exchange your purchases. This window of opportunity has been extended with Christmas approaching and iPads bought now can be exchanged up until 7th January. You must have all the boxing to do this though. Just thought I'd let you know about this option too. Enjoy!

Good point. The exchange policy would only apply is bought directly from Apple, but if you have not opened it, you may be able to return it to your place of purchase. I'm sure they want your extra cash to upgrade!

I've also enquired at Myers and David Jones, they will also exchange but these must be unopened.

These are good portable options, and you can usually share the wifi with a number of devices, if needed.

If your just using it around the home, then hopefully you have a wifi modem with your home Internet you can connect to.

Swapped that for 3G...sorted
