iPad - 3G or not?

Wish I'd gone for 3G x

Am on O2.

TBH if I was taking it out and about more, then I prob would have gone for 3G, but it stays at home, so there is no need.

Thanks Damz

We just need to do some homework on both versions.

I bought the 3G model, but I bought mine with the intention of using it out and about. The 3G has come in useful at other times though, such as when we had a break away from home for a week and there was no wifi where we were staying. I'm really glad I went for it.

For those who did get the 3G version, are you on a contract or do you pay as you go? Think leaning towards getting 3G/4G but don't really want to get tied into paying every month.

And like Damz think will go for the new version!

I'm on P+G. If you don't mind cutting a SIM to size (SIM cutter ebay, dead easy!) the cheapest way is to buy a pre loaded 3SIM off amazon (£10-12, varies at times.) gives 3gb to use over 3 months - until either the time or data expires.

Coveting the new ipad!

I'm on PAYG as I refuse to get tied into a contract. I bought a £5 sim card from Vodafone as I've found they have the best coverage. That included data for one month, but it now costs me £10 to top-up from the iPad for 3 months worth of data (which is more than enough for my usage).

I'll be doing PAYG

Think I've been persuaded and will get the 3G/4G version - missed the 'getting it on release date' window but should get it within the month!

Damz, who have your got your data plan through and what GB per month? There's just so much information to look through

and you, of course, are so knowledgeable!

We're just working out whether to pay full price for the iPad and get PAYG or whether to go through my Vodafone account which I have my iPhone through? So much to think about but v excited about the prospect of owning an iPad!
