9APPLE 12.9 iPad Pro (2021) - 128 GB sim availability
iPad Pro (5th generation)
If your iPad does not have a SIM slot, then you have a WiFi Only model of iPad. WiFi Only models do not have any Cellular capabilities - and hardware cannot be retrofitted.
It is not possible to change or modify the internal hardware components of an iPad.
Whilst a WiFi Only iPad cannot be transformed into a WiFi+Cellular model, you can use the hotspot feature of a mobile phone - or a Cellular Broadband Router (often known as a MiFi Router) - to access Cellular networks.

If you have Wi-Fi only model without a sim tray, there is no way to use a SIM card or cellular service with it, sorry.
You can try to purchase a Mi-Fi device which itself uses a SIM card to connect to cellular data service from a carrier, and can then offer that connection to the iPad over Wi-Fi.
All iPad models are available either with or without cellular data capability. You appear to have a model that lacks cellular capability.
Hello. I have an APPLE 12.9 iPad Pro (2021) - 128 GB 5th generation and don't have a sim tray. Is there any other way to use a sim with this model, or is it not available? Thank you for any answers.
