I have a 2degrees prepay sim for my iPad but when I go to the app store to get the Data clock there's a message stating "this app requires specific features not available on this device" and the "get" button is greyed out.

As far as I can tell from their site it is usable for iPads and prepay - anyone else had this problem?

thanks

Sue

The iPad can not get incoming SMS so I suspect this is why

The fact the device skips down to 3G when you commence a data clock session leads me to believe it uses a USSD command to initiate the session (rather than a sms which would send over 4G). To my knowledge ipad cannot do USSD (similar to a call).

Best you can do is put the sim in a phone, start the data clock session via the mobile app, then pop the sim back in ipad. You'd need to do this each time.
