I received my Verizon 32GB LTE Ipad mini today. I went in to the system settings to the cellular tab and tried to sign up for cellular service...as it was advertised. I got the message that I could not sign up...that I had to contact Verizon directly either in person or on their customer service line. I called and they said that the first batch of these LTE Ipad minis did not get their cellular IDs registered by APPLE to their respective carriers...so the mini is not recognized by the carrier. I had to give the agent multiple serial numbers on my Ipad mini so she could MANUALLY enter this into the system so the mini can be registered. BOTTOM LINE....3-5 business days before the Mini is readly to go with cellular JUST BECAUSE APPLE did not get the information properly registered with VERIZON. The agent told me this happened with some of the Ipad 3s and she was surprised that this had happened again.
SO, if you get a LTE mini and it isn't recognized by your carrier when you try to set it up....you know what you have to do now.
