iPad 2 will be Cell C friendly - supports UMTS 900MHz

[rapidblue]

Yeah!!!! The specs on the new iPad 2 site show that UMTS 900MHz is definitely supported - guess it's gonna be awesome to stick a 5GB SIM in our new iPads

Will you be able to use the normal sized speedstick Cell C Sim card or does it have to be a Micro Sim card?

EDIT: Oh crap, it's a Micro Sim card.

Yip, Micro SIM, but I guess we'll just cut it down to size and use a SIM adapter if we want to use it in the speedstick again

Cell C do have MircoSIMs, so no cutting required.

Woohoo! I'm sure Cell C will come out with a great data package for the iPad2... I hate the lame deals (sometimes more minutes than data lol) on the iPad and Galaxy Tab currently being offered by MTN and Voda...

 

[BigVan99]

I want one. Come on CellC go buy some pads!

Yes and since the speedsticks have both normal and micro sim slots there is no need to use an adapter.

Schweeeeet

Mmmmm .... Waiting for my ipad 2 and will be sure to get the microsim for it

I think you are thinking about MICRO SD slot in the speed stick. No micro SIM :/

Get a Wifi 3G router to use with your iPad (and Phone) when at home. Are you really going to surf on 3G with that big device (else just pack in your 3G router in your backpack as well)...

So has anyone confirmed this for interest sake? (I'm with VC anyways, just curious)

Cellc internet bundle to use for iPad2

I currently have the Cellc prepaid internet bundle with 2 GB data per month, i have just got an iPad 2 and was wanting to know if i can sim swop this bundle to be used on the iPad2>
Looking at the specs it looks like it should run 100% on the cellc network (including 3G and HSDPA speeds)
i have bought a new sim and cut it to size, when i put it in the iPad it picks up the cells network perfectly.
Does anyone know if i simply request a sim swop to the new sim if is sorted - (the instore people cant seem to confirm this)

 

[bsntombela]

Yes, works perfectly. Get a swim swap, I was charged R150

 

[stricken]

this is good news.

Why not just use your existing sim card?

 

[FireTelkom]

Because the Ipad and Iphone 4 uses a Microsim

 

[Freaksta]

Because the Ipad and Iphone 4 uses a Microsim

but he brought a new sim and cut it to size why cant he cut his old sim?

 

[Speedster]

Exactly what I meant
