I got a T-Mobile SIM for tablets a few weeks ago for a penny, it was on sale. If I activate my new iPad Air 2 for T-Mobile's free 200MB a month, should I not waste the activation on the Apple SIM and just use my T-Mobile SIM? I figured I could save the Apple SIM in case I ever wanted to use AT&T or Verizon's network.
Got a tip for us?

It won't work with Verizon and once you activate it for sprint or t-mobile you can only use those 2 networks.i would save it for AT&T if you ever want to change or sprint
It doesn't really make much of a difference at the moment, since the carrier support for the Apple SIM is so limited. Also, you can always get a new Apple SIM for 5 bucks. And with a little luck, AT&T SIMs can be had for free at AT&T or Apple stores.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the Apple SIM can only be provisioned in Air 2 and Mini 3. If you plan to use some other cellular device in the near future, you might want to save the T-Mobile SIM for that.
