Are iPads carrier locked like iPhones are?
I have an iPad mini 2 that used to have verizon service but the sim has been removed and now I only use it on Wi-Fi. So can it be used with any network SIM card? Or is it carrier specific like iPhones are?
Nah
Yes, just like phones unless they are unlocked" Then they can work with any service. I got mine from this discount store called best deal in town. It is not unlocked, but they do have them and they are a good deal check them http://bestdealaz.com
Depends on how you bought it. They could be unlocked (that's how I bought mine) or locked to a certain carrier.
Carrier specific.
No they arent locked like that, you also arent on contract with them, meaning you can sign up for just 1 month (and then cancel at end of month) of monthly service if you need to use cell towers on the road, or traveling, etc.
Technology specific… Not carrier specific.
Being a Verizon unit, it is locked to Verizon. That's how Verizon works.
If all it got from Verizon is LTE data, you can get it unlocked. How well it works with other carriers depends on which LTE bands it supports.
- Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
- Why do some people like to act like iPhones and iPads are status symbols? If it were, I mean you'd have the whole lifestyle to keep up. But a lot of people buy them. I'll admit they're both convenient but I find it a little weird to think anything of owning one. (This is in general, and not directed towards how people act to me - just my observation).
- Why are the harddrives on iphones and ipads so small? The maximum Harddrive space on the latest iphone is only 64gb? Why is that? With all the apps, songs and films you can download the maximum space apple gives you is 64gb? Why? Its nowhere near as much as a laptop and cast your mind back to the ipod classic you could get a 160GB harddrive on them. Does anyone know why apple went backwards?
- More you use an app the more space it takes up on iPhones and iPads? I have an iPad and new iPhone 5 that I just got. I have rhapsody on both the same app and amount of music basically (iPad as seven more songs on app) but on the iPad the rhapsody app takes up 2.8 GB and the iPhone takes up 1.8GB. Why is that? The more use the app the more space it takes up even if you're not adding new content?
