If you have the 3G version of the iPad, you have the option of connecting to the Internet through a 3G cellular telephone network. Depending on your cellular telephone provider, you can purchase 3G access on a monthly basis for a fixed fee that gives you a fixed amount of data.
To set up a 3G account on your iPad, follow these steps:
From the Home screen, tap Settings. The Settings screen appears.
Tap Cellular Data. The Cellular Data settings screen appears, as shown in Figure 9-2.
Tap the Cellular Data on/off switch to make sure it reads ON.
(Optional) Tap the Data Roaming on/off switch to turn it ON or OFF. (Data Roaming means that your iPad constantly checks the Internet for email messages, and, in many countries, each time it checks the Internet you could incur a fee.)
Tap View Account. The Cellular Data Account window appears, as shown in Figure 9-3.
