Best USED Ipad with international LTE and headphone jack ?
Hi
I would like to get a Used Ipad that is LTE ( uses sim card ) and had a headphone jack ,
It needs to have the International LTE bands , and maybe Band 71 for Tmobile
the regular 9-10 size , not the Mini or the larger ones ,
It is mostly to have in the car for travel , GPS , and check email , no games but Pinball
I know I will probably lose it , drop it , dunk it etc in a couple years so somewhere in the under $150- $250 range
Is that possible ? Thanks for your advise

Check out the Wikipedia article on each iPad generation and see what LTE bands it supports, or Apple https://www.apple.com/ipad/LTE/#ipad
They all have headphone jacks as far as I know.
Look around on Gazelle or elsewhere.

The best place I've found to shop for reliable resale devices is Swappa.com. I've bought at least 3-4 used iPads there at good prices and every one was nicer than described in the listing. The Apple website has a very comprehensive Support section that lists Tech Specifications to review the bands and all other details for each iPad they've produced.

One consideration you should keep in mind:
Does the iPhone have a physical SIM slot or an eSIM.
I use Google FI and have physical data sims I can use at no additional monthly cost... but I can't use eSIMs for this purpose. As a result I've hung onto my Gen 1 12.9 inch iPad Pro w/ LTE and a PHYSICAL SIM SLOT.
TL;DR Check if your cell provider supports eSIM before buying an iPad

Thanks for your ideas
Looks like an iPad model a1954 , 6th generation has all the USA and International LTE bands
They come in 32GB and 128 GB , is 32 GB enough for light use ?
And if it was Sold originally by Sprint or Verizon is it locked to the carrier or are they all unlocked ?
Thanks again.....

My iPad Mini 5 and 11" Pro both have esim and sim slot. There are probably a few others besides. Every phone or iPad with an esim also has the sim slot. The Apple watch is the only device that has just the esim as far as I know. The Mini 5 has a headphone jack, the 11" Pro does not have the jack.
