If you are using an AT&T sim, it will roam on the Rogers network but you can't put a Canadian SIM in it if it is locked to AT&T.

iPads are not locked.

An AT&T iPad is functionally identical to a Rogers/Bell/Telus iPad.

Well that is great to know. I have an AT&T sim for when I travel in the US so you are saying I can put it in my iPad and it will work. Awesome!!

Thanks. I have a wifi iPad to be delivered tomorrow, but was thinking if I changed my mind and got a LTE one , which one I should get (I am in the US right now)

At&t is the better one compared to Verizon right ? For Canadian use ?

Better is subjective, but a Verizon iPad won't work up here.

It won't LTE up here,

But the Verizon iPad 3 "falls back" to the AT&T 3G network in the US. So theoretically the Vz iPad should do the same to RoBellUs 3G networks.

Yep, just saw that today. The AT&T unit is still better value IMO, as LTE is the future, and it supports both frequencies.
