giradman said:Not sure which iPad you own (1 or 2?), but do you have a machine w/ a SIM slot (like the pic below; located upper left side when viewing the front of the iPad); with the proper card inserted/purchased and a 3G plan, your iPad can connect via cellular wireless technology; AT&T and Verizon are 2 companies that offer these plans and the appropriate SIM card.
Thus, if the slot shown and described is not on your iPad, then you have neither cellular option - hope this helps -
P.S. Also, 'Cellular Data' should be an available option to setup from the 'Settings' menu.

CDMA is available in some 40+ countries.@wullie1967, which country did you buy it in, if it was anywhere other than the USA , then you have no need to worry as the CDMA (the verizon one) is only available in the states.
Agreed, I would fully expect a CDMA/GSM compatible iPad 3...same technology as the iPhone 4S, so no reason not to employ it.Edited my post to make it clearer, I meant the CDMA ipad was only available in the USA, not CDMA in general.
I'm sure with the ipad 3 they'll make it worldwide compatible, like the iphone 4s, which has both GSM and CDMA.
