Besides, the rep from Rogers said that would have been a pre-activated card, but since I have a data-sharing plan with my iPhone, I need to tie my iPad SIM back to the same account, hence the "post-paid" kind of card I mentioned above. | |

I got my hands on my new iPad (2012) later this afternoon, and after I had set it up and synced, I powered it down and tried the SIM card switch. While the SIM card from my old iPad physically fit the new one, it didn't work ("No Service"). I called Rogers (my data provider here in Canada) and the rep said I need to get a new SIM card, from my local Rogers store -- specifically, a LTE-compatible post-paid micro SIM card, then call them to move my iPad account to the new card. | |
