Verizon’s iPad plays nice on AT&T as well

Apple’s new iPad will be playing nice with both AT&T and Verizon’s network, but for those who have a couple of different accounts with different carriers, you will be pleased to hear that just because you purchase Verizon’s iPad it does not mean that it won’t play nice with AT&T’s network either, although in this case it might mean that you will have to sacrifice 4G connectivity. This was discovered by a MacRumors comment jsnuff1 who revealed:

“I was one of the first to obtain a Verizon iPad and can happily confirm that this is allowed […] I used my ATT iPhone 4S sim card and took out the Verizon sim, and data worked! You must apply the AT&T APN carrier settings before this works though.”

This is somewhat of a surprise especially since a lot of people had originally expected to see the microSIM slot locked out for other carriers in the US, although it is speculated that perhaps Apple could release an update in the future that would address that.
