Hi

 

I have a new Ipad mini 6th generation. I bought an EE data sim and I have tried everything but am unable to make it work. Any help would be appreciated.

Where did you buy the SIM & how much did you pay for it?

What does texting AL to 150 from it fully report verbatim (it is free)?

Presumably you do if the iPad it's in can't do texts.

How much did you purchase the SIM card for? @kobie1

Does the reply show you have a data allowance to use?
