Hi Diana, To begin activating service on a 3G iPad, tap Settings > Cellular Data > View Account, fill in the fields , tap the name of the plan that you want, and then tap Next to continue the activation process.
Once your plan is active, if your iPad is connected to the cellular data network, you’ll see an icon near the left of your status bar that indicates the type of connection you have. To disable 3G connectivity temporarily, you have two options: 1. Open the Settings app, and at the upper left, turn on Airplane Mode. This turns off all wireless communications—Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, and GPS. A white airplane  icon appears in the status bar, indicating that the iPad is in Airplane Mode. Or 2 In the Settings app, tap Cellular Data, and set the Cellular Data switch to Off.
