Making your iPad 3G work in Canada
If today's news about Rogers' rate plans for the iPhone left you feeling a bit cold about your 3G options for an iPad in Canada, perhaps this BoyGeniusReport story will warm you up. BGR walks you through the steps necessary to make your iPad work with various providers in Canada. As the old saying goes, "Everything is easy when you know what you're doing." BGR has done the hard part for you, including figuring out the various APN settings for different carriers.
The most challenging part of the process will be cutting down a SIM card to (mini) size. There are lots of instructions around to help you but in the end they're your fingers and your card, so be careful.
The instructions cover Bell, Fido, Rogers, and TELUS.

MicroSIM adapter offers a low price discount for the benefit of consumers.

Best offer on the market so far and to top it up they offer free delivery! Order another set as a present for my brother.

Now use my simcard in both Ipad and Iphone. Should save me lots of pounds, since there is no need to sign for another plan. Highly recommend this seller, his price and delivery options are the best so far.

Why give Steve Jobs the satisfaction.
So does this mean that you can use any other card for any other carrier (once the cards have been pared down) and pay less? Any details on costs with other networks?

May 11 2010 at 1:15 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyThey do now, they have been since they started offering the iPhone on their networks.
May 11 2010 at 5:08 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI'm surprised that more carriers aren't announcing pricing for iPad-specific plans, since the device can be used with any carrier.
