How to switch 3G cellular carrier on iPad

How to switch 3G cellular carrier on iPad
I have got my new iPad 3 with AT&T and note that there is poor converge and no hotspot. Now I want to cancel my AT&T account, change my 3G lte network and switch to Verizon. Can I add the carrier data plan by doing a hard reset with my tablet?

You need to exchange iPads and purchase a new one with Verizon, because their network technologies are incompatible and use different bands. The models are made for a particular carrier: AT&T is GSM and Verizon is CDMA.

You can also buy a Mifi device as a alternative to access another cell network.

When I connect to a WiFi hotspot from your iPad 3G and then the Wi-Fi connection gets issues or chokes, some of the apps will stop syncing your important datas. In the latest beta of iOS 6, iPad or iPhone can automatically detect these issues and toggle it back to use cellular data without any interruption.

How to Enable iOS 6 Wi-Fi Plus Cellular
* From Home screen, tap on Setting > General > Cellular systems.
* Turn "Wi-Fi Plus Cellular" ON to allow apps having trouble with WiFi to use 3G.
* Under the "Use Cellular Data for" option, select which apps to have the feature, including iCloud Documents, iTunes, FaceTime, Passbook Updates and Reading List. For example, turning "iCloud Documents" on could help you keep syncing over Cellular until you have cleared up the WiFi network issues.
