I just bought the iPad Pro 12.9 6 gen. It says I need a SIM card. Where do I buy one?

You only require a SIM card if you intend to use a Cellular connection with your iPad. Both WiFi Only and WiFi+Cellular models of iPad can be used with standard WiFi networks.


Should you need Cellular connectivity, you can obtain a DataSIM from your chosen Cellular Carrier. Alternatively, you may be able to active Cellular service using the iPad’s built-in eSIM.
