Carrier Free T-Mobile SIM

I think between my wife and I this will be the perfect amount of data on each iPad. I don't often have a use for data now that my office and her salon have wifi available, but it is nice to have just in case we need it.
Thanks again OP, I have been waiting for these to drop to free again.

Thanks for the head's up OP & others, just ordered 2 nanos (backordered, but I'm not complaining for free). ;-)
Is it possible to keep both sims active and switch back and forth between them to get 400 mb data per month? 200 mb is probably more than enough for me... just curious.
Yes, they come with the SIM card for whichever carrier you chose when buying the iPad.
Was there another question on your mind?
If you get the T-Mobile version, yes, it does come with the SIM card. I reckon a number of folks here are opting for Verizon or Sprint iPads for easy fallback to either network.
Here's a quick tutorial on how to get the free data on your existing iPad:

This worked great! Two iPads (VZ iPad minis) up and running with free T-mobile service. I noticed the plan even allows me to turn on mobile hotspot! Not that I'd do that much, but nice if I'm in a pinch for internet sometime. The free SIM promotion seems to have gone away. Promo coded "GETASIM" will get you the phone SIMs/Activation Kits for 99cents now, but doesn't work on the internet only SIMs. Does anyone know if the SIMs themselves are different, or do the phone ones just include the extra activation code? If it's the latter, they should then work for this too, shouldn't they?
Yes, the free and 99cent deals come and go.
Phone activation kit SIMs should work fine. I'd ordered a couple kits even before all this (to test out T-Mobile service on my phone) and used one in my ipad3. Works fine. Just ignore all the activation stuff in the kit.
Any new codes to get a free SIM card? Just got a verizon mini and my apple store was out of t-mobile cards.
Just curious...are you on wifi nearly 100% of the time?
Because if not...
He could get multiple sim cards . I have four.
