>>The default on iPad is to maximize revenue to the carrier, but it has to be what the customer wants. Every time I take my iPad 2 3G to a public WiFi, it first says it can't find a cellular carrier, because I never signed up. I have to hit Cancel every time and then accept the Terms or sign in with my email address, it all takes under 15 seconds, but it looks like AT&T is trying to trap some customers. The next iOS update should fix this.<< In Settings, under Cellular Data, you can turn off the cellular data feature completely. Then it won't bother you about not being able to find a carrier.
