Your best bet is probably to either set it up via orange. fr (but I'm not sure that will work as they may require you to log on to their GSM network) or use an unlocked phone just to activate it. You can buy an unlocked cheapo phone for like 35 euros. Also note that the iPad takes microsims and I think Mobicarte's are regular sims, so you'd need to cut your sim to size (though maybe they sell microsims as well I don't know).
