No. You can take your iPhone in if you have had it unlocked.

possible to link Iphone to Ipad


FYI, another option: TMobile now offers free international data/text. If you have an Iphone with mobile data plan thru their service, check under "settings" -> "general: -> "cellular" and look for "personal hotspot."

If you have that feature you could use it to set up a data/text connection to your Ipad. Calls are still charged, $.20 minute or so.

Hi, We took an old unlocked cellphone into the main telcell office in san jose. We got the "dongle" which has a sim card in it we can put in our phone but what we really use it for is our computer. I would think that would be the same. I think the price was about 30 usd for 3 gigabytes of data (you can get just 1 gb) and when we want to use the phone which is almost never, we take the simcard out of the dongle and put it in our phone. The dongle plugs into the usb port. Sarcastic play on the word Dongle is easy, But honest that's what we call it
