Don’t have an ipad, but why the extra expense on another gadget?
Do you have an android phone already? Why not use that?
If you don’t, buy a prepaid one and use that for the truck phone # and processing square.
Boost mobile is $50 a month, phone around $179….
I just bought an at&t phone, it was $125, it gets the job done, the service is more but it’s the only thing that works where I moved to.
 

 
 No, I don’t have an android phone already or associated expensive data plan from verizon (crooks).
I was attracted to the tablet style checkout system. And there’s a new “cash register” app for the ipad that seems pretty cool. ….
But, I hadn’t thought of getting a “burner” and using that for the business. That’s a thought. Thanks!!! I’ll have to check out rates for burners and see if that ends up being significantly cheaper.
