Hi Pat, Thanks for your response. How ridiculous is this becoming? Perhaps somewhere down the line if I'm really desperate to have cellular I will try postpaid but I'm not looking forward to the experience.

I went to the Verizon store with my iPad originally and had them set up a 30 day account. When we returned from our trip I wanted to suspend the account and went back to the Verizon store. I talked to someone else because it was the original clerk's day off. After over an hour and several phone calls to someone higher up in the food chain I was told to suspend my account instead of deleting it when the month was up. If you delete the account you will get charged another $30 activation fee when you want to activate it again later. I did not want the account to renew so I tried to suspend it before the end of the 30 day contract.

When I look at cellular service in Settings on the iPad there is a message that says "Subscription cannot be managed on this device". I don't know if that is because it was set up at the Verizon store or because it is too early yet. I got the service on Aug. 31 but wasn't billed until Sept 4. I have to wait until Oct. 3 to suspend it. I did get an email from Verizon that said "Your feature(s) and/or promotions change request for wireless number ending in -8112 is now complete. Feature Effective Date: 09/26/12"That was the day I went to Verizon. However, it did not say what the feature was!

Long hold while she switched me to somebody in the prepaid department. That person said my sim will *not* reset after 24 hours - that I will have to buy a new sim but I should not have been told that I would have to pay an activation fee when buying a new sim card that I would install myself. She said I needed to choose "cancel plan later" so it sounds as though they have changed things from the iPad2 to the iPad3 or I have been given yet another load of faulty information. What a comedy of errors! I wish I had the option of using Verizon or AT&T but I get lousy cell reception here. I will try to get my money back through my credit card company but will not try to open another iPad cellular account.
