does a ipad require a cell phone data plan

I want to buy the iPad2 through Verizon (my cell phone carrier). They offer 1G of monthly usage for $20 or 3G for $35. How can I figure out which plan to buy? My primary usage will be for reading newspapers. books and other documents that I can download at home using my Wi-fi connection. I will probably also use it for watching videos that I can download via Wi-fi.Suggestions ?thanks, Bob Dell Windows XP Pro...|cell-phone-data-plans-ipad

I am trying to pair my LG rumor 2 with my new ipad 2. The ipad sees the device and the phone can detect the ipad but each time they fail to connect. On the phone I go to trusted devices choose my ipad and press connect while at the same time telling the ipad to connect. First the ipad says failed to connect the cell takes a little longer but eventually says the same. Is this phone just to old to move pictures via bluetooth?

Hey Everyone-I am supporting a user who had his ipad replaced. He did not keep his original SIM. He is attempting to log in to his exisiting cellular data account on at&t on the new device with a new SIM and it is failing. Is the Cellular service tied to the SIM or IMEI? If he had kept the SIM, I assume hed still be able to log in to his cellular data account, but Im not sure. Any way to reassociate his data account with the new IMEI, SIM?ThanksJesse old iMac, ipad Mac OS X (10.6.3)...|replaced-ipad-sign-existing-cell-data-account

Due to the fact that I only use 200 mb data, I decided to switch from unlimited data to the 250mb. I went to switch and noticed my plan already renewed a few hours prior. I went ahead and added the new 250 plan to begin when the unlimited expires. Now my card has been charged 29.99 and 14.99. My question is, in one month when my 250 plan begins will it charge me again or will the system know to begin charging me in two months? ipad iOS 4...|data-plan-overlap-ipad

Hi,We are planning to get an ipad 2, and I am also planning to use the GPS function. I am given to understand that one MUST buy the 3G version to accomplish this. However, I don’t have the slightest intention to purchase any kind of data plan. The reason for that is that I want to use it as a chart plotter on my boat. (My iPod touch, by the way, works like a charm, but is rather small). The areas that we boat in are very remote, and there is no cell phone coverage.I’ve been told that 3G+GPS work fine WITHOUT any data plan.Is this true?
