iPad 3G works great in Europe - Spain at least
Hi everyone. I got my wife
a new iPad 3G for her birthday. It was pre-ordered in California and it arrived last week. Its her birthday today so we opened it and fell in love all over again - although this time not with each other.
I had ordered an extra SIM card for MOVISTAR (Spanish Telecom operator) and I cut it down to size and put it in the SIM slot. At first I got only the 3G symbol but no internet but then I went into Settings and Cellular Data and then entered the following:
APN: movistar.es
username: movistar
password: movistar
It then worked like a dream - super fast internet at home on 5Ghz wifi and outside using 3G.
Word of warning. I had to go to the local shop again this morning for another card because I was hasty and cut some of the metal part of the SIM card. DO NOT DO THIS! You will regret it. Fortunately a new SIM is only 6 euros.
Also, I found the APN info by googling. So should work for other countries as well.
Hope this helps
