    Does the micro sim here mean that it can be swapped into an iPad without paying for an iPad data contract?

    • Jerry,

      What do you mean? Can you swap the MicroSIM from your iPhone into your iPad and use your phone’s data plan instead of paying for a separate data plan for the iPad? I would assume so actually.
