3G service lets you connect your iPad to the Internet when you're on the go — in a taxi, at the park, and other places where you can't reach a Wi-Fi network. It uses the same network as mobile phones, and it works only with WiFi + 3G.
To start 3G service on your iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G, you will need a micro-SIM card and a data plan. A range of data plans are available and most don’t require a contract. When you order your iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G from the Apple Online Store, you can add a micro-SIM card from the carrier listed below. You can start 3G service anytime after installing the micro-SIM card.
