Does anyone know how/or if it's possible to use your iPad's micro sim in an iPhone 4 for data only. Has anyone successfully done it.

Thanks for your help.

You will have to wait for jailbreak in order to change the carrier settings in iPhone 4.

It would be stuck on "phone" and u would need to change it on the iPhone to " broadband".

You can put iPhone sim into iPad and change settings from broadband to phone however pad is sold unlocked so apple will let u do it that way.

Bur until iPhone gets jail broken u can't change the carrier APN.
