Using T-Mobile simcard on iPad 3G

[AtMostFear]

Hey guys,

I have BB unlimited data plan with US T-Mobile which I'm currently using with my 9700. From my google search I found out it is possible to just cut out the regular-sized simcard to a micro-simcard and put it in an iPad. I'm also aware that T-Mobile uses a different frequency for 3G than other carriers, meaning I will only get EDGE instead of 3G if this method works on the iPad.

so is it possible for me to just request a twin simcard from T-Mobile (meaning using the same number that I'm currently using on my 9700, under the BB data plan) and just modify it to fit in an iPad?

No...1 sim, 1 imei, 1 number.

You're talking about sim cloning. Nope can't do it. Some do anyway but it's illegal.

You need to get a separate data plan for 25 or 40 bucks and you'll get another sim. Put that into iPad and you're good to go.

your three options would be

1) [as mentioned] get a second SIM card, and data plan and use that
2) Get an android Phone, Root it and AD-HOC tether to it, but that is against the TOS for T-Mobile, but very doable.
3) Get an Android phone, Pay 14.99/month for Wi-Fi Tethering and do it the honest way..
