hi all i have been told that if you get an ipad with 3g, upon turning it on, it will ask you whether you want CDMA or GSM network, depending on which telco you want to get data plans from. and if you want to change telco on the other network, you will have to ring apple to change and that

Goodness me, who told you that! Its completely wrong. I don't think any iPads operate on CDMA anyway, or perhaps they do in the USA, but definitely not here. In Australia, ipads come unlocked (not committed to any one provider), and you buy the sim from any of our main providers, all of which

Hi Lynn, Just a follow-up to my last post. I have a 3g iPad but have not bothered to buy a SIM for it. My understanding is (and I will welcome a correction if I am wrong) that the iPad is basically unlocked. The iPad will function happily with SIMs from any company and they can be swapped in

Are you confusing CDMA with UMTS? The following extracts from various Wikipedia pages may help you wade your way through the jargon of telcos. W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), UMTS-FDD, UTRA-FDD, or IMT-2000 CDMA Direct Spread is an air interface standard found in 3G mobile
