I searched but didn't see this question. I pre-ordered my iPad Air 2 this morning, but I didn't see a carrier option. I know the Apple SIM works on multiple carriers, but not Verizon, so how will I make my new iPad work on Verizon?
It has the same radios. Verizon has not signed on to work with the Apple SIM. If you want to use the 2 on Verizon that you bought from Apple, you will have to get a Verizon SIM for it.
I called Apple sales, and the agent didn't know how to get Verizon service at first. He asked and confirmed that I'll have to contact Verizon if I want their wireless service instead of the service that's available with the Apple SIM - AT&T, TMobile, or Sprint.
