Hi, I purchased my iPad in Australia and will be moving to live in the UK. Obviously I will need to purchase a new SIM for a UK provider are there any other steps I need to take or pitfalls I should be aware of before I get on the plane as I would dread to be without my iPad for any length of time. Thanks.

No pitfalls as your iPad will work very well in UK.

The only change you will need to make is to the plug (Uk uses 3 pin plug) but you will find plenty of these adaptors very cheap and easy to buy - even buy in airport.

Sims are easy to buy (1 to 2 GBP each for pay and go) or even get free. Just get one and then spend a bit of time researching for the best sim to use in your area and then change to that.

(I suggest you ensure you use your iPad charger and not an iphone charger).


P.S. advance welcome to the UK
