Headed to Italy and France

My wife and I are headed to Italy and France in June for 3 weeks what if anything can I do to use my 3G Ipad while we are there?

Thanks

If you have the iPad 3G with AT&T then yes, you can just get a local SIM once you arrive in Europe.

The Verizon iPad has a different chipset, which is only used in the US and will therefore not work there.

You should also check out where you can access (free) Wifi hotspots. Many hotels and cafes and other public places (e.g. libraries) provide Wifi service, so that you won't have to use your (paid) 3G instead.

not worried about the wifi usage but we will be on a motorcoach traveling a bunch and was hoping there was a way to make it happen!

Go for Orange France. Good coverage in France and prepaid data Sims are available with reasonable rates for data.
