Default Enabling iPad roaming via text

New 3G iPad on orange needs data roaming for imminent trip.

Easiest way on orange appears to be texting[1] but I don't think texting
is available on the iPad.

I'm thinking the easiest way would be to swap the micro sim into an
iPhone 4 or similar (which still uses micro sim) and send the roaming
text (ROAM to 1139 for the daily bundle).

Can anyone think of a problem with this or think of a better way?

[1] Online activation appears to activate only from billing date and
texting avoids the hold for the call centre
