Hi

I have ordered a cellular IPP from Apple. Is it sufficient just to transfer my Verizon SIMM that is in my current iPad or do I have to contact Verizon? Can I activate it online and if so how?

I tried calling Verizon, which only confused me Even more. Any help from someone who has done this would be appreciated.

Thanks.
 
Just transferring the SIM will work fine (assuming you have iPad Air 1 or newer). No need to activate since your current SIM is already active.
 
I have a 2018 IPP 11 purchased from Verizon with a Verizon SIMM.

Just move the SIM from the old iPad to the new one. You don’t need to have any contact with Verizon to make the change.

I activate my iPP without wifi and without SIM-Card ;)
Setup shows me 3 alternative Providers and activate my iPP only for this moment
After the activation i use my personal hotspot

First i cant believe this...
I reset my iPP completely and again - no wifi, no physical SIM-card
These 3 alternatives using eSIM (but only for activation)
