@matigo For iPads, yes. All the major carriers will let you get a SIM card and pay-as-you-go data on the iPad. T-Mobile has by far the best deal.
Apple also sells a carrier-agnostic SIM in their stores specifically for the iPad. Which will be useful for international travel.
@matigo I plan to occasionally use the data service (that's why I got an LTE model). I thought I had my old T-Mobile iPad SIM still, but must have tossed it when I purged old SIM cards.
Looks like China is living the future [medium.com] the US is slowly realizing they too are in:
In China, that foundation of reality is eroded alongside trust in institutions previously tasked with upholding the truth. Contrary to popular sentiment in the US, Chinese readers don’t blindly trust the state-run media. Rather, they distrust it so much that they don’t trust any form of media, instead putting their faith in what their friends and family tell them. No institution is trusted enough to act as a definitive fact-checker, and so it’s easy for misinformation to proliferate unchecked.
This has been China’s story for decades. In 2016, it is starting to be the US’ story as well.
@kdfrawg This one would have been hard to do in email. It would have been easier to do in person, aside from the fact they're on the other side of the country. :P
