I am looking to get a iPad that is capable of Cellular so I can use it for Mobile Data.
Would a Public Mobile Plan and SIM Card work for this kind of thing?
I don’t mind if the Calling and Texting isn’t functional as long as I can use the Data.
Which iPads may or may not be compatible?
Thanks in advance.

hi @Priority iPad works. Tried on the 8th and 10th gen without issue
if you have the older model and physical sim is a choice, use physical in case you need to receive 2FA for logging in the account. But eSIM works too

So here's the thing. Public Mobile doesn't support iPads. However, you CAN start up a new account with the data limit you want. Get it all set up and functioning, then remove the SIM card, place it in the iPad and reboot it. This supposedly works. If you have Public Mobile now with a SIM card, try it out on an iPad. Best way to see if it works. The question you have to ask yourself. Is paying $25 a month or so for just data for an iPad really worth it? Why not just hotspot? I do. Works great!
EDIT: I just realized who it was. LOL. Hey brother. Hope your doing well. Would really like to see you here more often but... I know you're busy with the biz...
second Edit: Koodo is $15 4GB of data with iPad support

Yes, it will work
For physical sim, it is easier, just activate with a phone first (app installed on phone) and move the sim over
For eSIM, install PM app and complete the eSIM activation on a phone. Then logout and login once again and make sure the first time 2FA SMS sent and received first. After that is done, install PM eSIM on iPad and login and buy a new eSIM there
