If you have an iPad Air 2 or iPad mini 3 with cellular connectivity, you also got an Apple SIM card preinstalled. This allowed users to choose cellular data plans from carriers in the US and the UK, but nowhere else on the planet. That changed today with the announcement that Apple SIM via new Apple partner GigSky is expanding to 90 Countries including Canada:
GigSky today announced that it will offer cellular data plans for iPad travelers with Apple SIM in more than 90 countries and territories. With Apple SIM installed, iPad customers can conveniently view and select these short-term data plans directly on their iPad, avoiding the hassle of buying a local SIM when they travel. US and UK customers have the added benefit of choosing from these short-term data plans at home. iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 Wi-Fi + Cellular models in the US and UK come with Apple SIM pre-installed. Apple SIM is also available at select Apple Retail Stores for individual purchase.
Exact prices are listed on GigSky’s website and vary based based on the country, data amount and length of plan. It’s worth checking out if you travel with your iPad and don’t want to strictly rely on WiFi, but you don’t want to go broke either.
