In the USA, Apple sells two models of the iPad tablet, a model for AT&T and a model for the Verizon network, and until today it was not known if the model for the Verizon network also works on GSM networks considering that this operator has a CDMA network. Well the video clip above PROVE the fact that tablets purchased from Verizon also work on AT&T's GSM network, but unfortunately only with 3G connectivity. These tablets have a micro-SIM slot in which a card of any mobile phone operator can be inserted because iPad tablets are sold decoded anywhere in the world.
Big question on everyone's mind buying the Verizon iPad was whether data from AT&T's 3G network would work on this iPad, or if Verizon/Apple would block this. I was one of the first to obtain a Verizon iPad and can happily confirm that this is allowed! I used my ATT iPhone 4S sim card and took out the Verizon sim, and data worked! You must apply the AT&T APN carrier settings before this works though.
Apple does not specify on its website whether these tablets allow connection to GSM networks with a micro-SIM, but the video clip above proves that everything is possible. The iPad tablet will not work on 4G networks in Romania, so theoretically any model purchased in the USA can be used on any mobile phone network in Romania.
