   Hi everyone. I got my wife a new iPad 3G for her birthday. It was pre-ordered in California and it arrived last week. Its her birthday today so we opened it and fell in love all over again – although this time not with each other.

   I had ordered an extra SIM card for MOVISTAR (Spanish Telecom operator) and I cut it down to size and put it in the SIM slot. At first I got only the 3G symbol but no internet but then I went into Settings and Cellular Data and then entered the following:

   APN: movistar.es
   username: movistar
   password: movistar

   It then worked like a dream – super fast internet at home on 5Ghz wifi and outside using 3G.

   Word of warning. I had to go to the local shop again this morning for another card because I was hasty and cut some of the metal part of the SIM card. DO NOT DO THIS! You will regret it. Fortunately a new SIM is only 6 euros.

   Also, I found the APN info by googling. So should work for other countries as well.

   Hope this helps
   /George

   Hello I have ordered my ipad from the apple website and I should
   recieve on the 28th June any way right I have contract with
   movistar (iPhone) and when I ask movistar shop if they can send me a
   duplicate micro sim they said they can't yet because they don't yet
   sell the ipad :s so should I just ask for another sim and then cut it
   down with a tool I can get from eBay ? Also won't they cut off
   the original sim incase they think you might be sharing all the data
   with other people by letting them use sim ? Thanks and how is ipad
   going ? Better than you thought it'd be ?
