Yes, using a phone would solve your issue. Just make sure you carry a microSIM-Adapter so you can use the microSIM in a regular phone.

Another workaround which would also solve your SIMlock problem would be to use a smartphone that supports WiFi tethering as WiFi hotspot so you could flawlessly activate your data option by USSD or SMS on the smartphone and share its internet connection with your iPad by WiFi.
Your observations made with that T-Mobile SIM indicates that your iPad indeed has a SIM- or netlock.
