Hello,

The iPad should be fine until Christmas, if you have a SIM card you will need to activate you will be able to do so separately from the iPad.

Hope this helps!

Thanks and have a great day!

Hello, just saw the reply.

With the iPad you will have a SIM card which will allow the iPad to connect to the EE network to use mobile data when there is no WiFi connection. Hope this helps.

Thanks and have a great day!

Hi @Sharonj11,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

The SIM will be for your iPad's mobile data plan. It should be pre-activated and ready to use.

@Sharonj11 Because you purchased an iPad that has a contract. You’ll be billed before you even switch the iPad on. Your under a 24 month contract with that iPad and you’ll get a set allowance of data per month, just like you do with your phone.
