CTCT . 18 days ago

We are using the verizon home internet and we have no problems with other gadgets with regards to speed. Not sure if this is an ipad problem.

Tina . 20 days ago

I love how big it is, but it is really big! Somewhat hard to get used to the bigger size when holding, but love the screen size!

Verizon is incompetent, their service sucks, their billing is always wrong.

20 days ago

Neither the IPad and Watch work because Verizon can’t be bothered to activate them after days and days and days of asking for assistance and wasting my time on calls and chats. Everyone refused to get a manager involved after failing to fix the issue.

Best IPAD ever!!
