The techcrunch article says there is a SIM card.


It's not a real SIM card. They talked about it in the keynote; it's a built-in electronic SIM chip or something.


So in other words no way to get this directly rather than from a carrier and no way to switch carriers unless they explicitly support it.

Sounds great.


It uses your phone's carrier.


An "electronic SIM card inside". I don't think this means there's a physical SIM. Dunno how that's going to affect compatibility with carriers, which is OP's question.


Is this the Apple SIM[1] that lets the iPad choose a carrier as a configuration setting?
