IPad with 3G good in Europe?

If I buy an IPad with 3G can I use it with any chip around the world that provides the internet service? Meaning: can i go to Europe or South America, buy a cell phone company chip that has an Inetrnet plan and start using the Internet? With the Ipod that dos not have the 3G I still can access the web at wi-fi spots around the world?

Thanks!

    If you purchase the iPad 3G you can access Internet services using Wi-Fi or 3G.

    You can use a 3G SIM card from pretty much any country, however the iPad does use micro SIM cards, and these are smaller than standard SIM cards.

    It is however pretty easy to cut a normal SIM card down to a micro SIM size, and there are even adaptors that enable you to turn the micro SIM card in a normal size SIM card.

    You will need to change the APN settings on the iPad for use in each country.

    you need to now not strengthen a non-3G iPad to 3G, yet you're able to purchase a cellular 3G hotspot from Verizon or distinctive distributors. it particularly is slightly container that connects to 3G and creates a on the spot hotspot that the on the spot iPad can connect with. The Verizon type is named the My Fi (or in step with possibility it particularly is Mi Fi?).
