iPad and Vodafone data sim

Anyone have any experience of using a iPad with a Vodafone data only sim.

Basically the wife has bought a mobile broadband sim on the half price promotion from Vodafone...using it in a apple iPad mini and she isn't getting 4G on it.

Just wondering if there's any special settings to look at.
The techs at Vodafone have said I gotta wait another 24/48 hrs whilst they provision 4G on the sim....I can't understand why this wasn't done in the first place.

Anyone with any experience of this.....please help :j

  • Perhaps Settings > General > Cellular > Enable LTE

    I don't have an iPad so can't check.

    Is it a new iPad mini ?


    I suspect that when the original ipad mini came out they weren't made to work with Vodafone 4G (It will probably work with EE 4G though)

    From any Home screen, tap Settings.
    Tap Cellular.
    Drag the Enable LTE slider to enable or disable.
    Ipad mini 3 (A1600 & A1601) supports 4G/LTE in UK on 3, EE, O2 and Vodafone
