I've just been informed both by o2 and 3 that they do not support Pay as You Go (or contract) Data Roaming for iPads. So if abroad and you need to access the internet for flight planning, and no WiFi is available, what do you do?

Buying separate SIMs for each country does not seem to be a viable solution either.

I realise this is an Apple not SD problem but it does seriously inhibit the use of SD on the iPad for touring abraod.

Another way is to use your phone (with data roaming already applied) and use it as a wirless hotspot (tether) that you can connect your iPad. The iPad will 'see' your phone as a wireless source available; so simply connect your iPad (either via wirless or USB) to your phone.

I use this with my iPad mini and Nexus 7 and both work seamlessly.
