Can I use mini iPad (wifi only) and a mobile hotspot?  please include all details as though explaining to a 4 year old

I would appreciate any recommendations for models, how to purchase, information re: whether data plans are needed, etc.  I live overseas and need this while in the States.  Do not have an iPhone or other plan that I could connect my device to.  mini iPad purchased @ end of 2012, if that matters. 
I know I need to purchase something--likely it will only work in the States, but are there any that work globally?
THANK YOU in advance for your help and time.

Anyone?  Thanks in advance.

  • Can I use my iPad to connect to a Mobile Access Server on a Mac mini ?

    I run a small business and am considering setting up an internal network. The online "features" description for Mobile Access Server (a component of Snow Leopard Server) says I can connect remoetley from an iPod or a Mac. The iPad is not mentioned. can I use my iPad to connect to a Mobile Access Server?

    Yes. It's the same as connecting from an iPod touch or iPhone.
    Logmeinigniton or teamviewer are a few of the apps you can use.
    Teamvewer has free app and you can see if it does what you want.

  • Ipad shows all regular Iphone inbound calls as Facetime.  I only want true FT calls to appear. I switch audio/video and it still happens.  How can I set the Ipad to only register true facetime calls rather than all inbound regular calls?  thanks

    My Ipad  will show all regular inbound calls, from Iphone, as Facetime calls.  I would like only TRUE facetime calls to appear. I have switched audio/video on Ipad but it still happens.  How can I set the Ipad to only register only true FT calls rather than all inbound calls that a re not facetime calls?  Yes, you may have to reread this twice and slowly to understand..... Thanks!

    Hi webn,
    I understand that you do not wish to see phone calls on your iPad anymore. I have an article for you with some information on accomplishing this goal:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6337
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone cellular calls on your iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
    On your Mac, open the FaceTime app and go to FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings and deselect the iPhone Cellular Calls option.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • Can I use my iPad in France and Italy with the proper adapter?

    I'm going to Europe in five months and trying to prepare.  Can I use my iPad there with the proper adapter?  I know my iPhone needs the proper SIM card so I'm curious about my iPad.

    Yes. You need a wall plug adater for the countries you will be travelling to.

  • Can I use the Ipad Wall Adapter and my Iphone USB cord to charge my Iphone 5s?

    I heard that the IPad wall adapter will charge an IDevice faster, so I was wondering if I used my IPads wall adapter and my IPhones USB cord to charge my IPhone 5s, will it be okay?

    You are welcome.  Knowing which chargers are interchangeable helps when traveling, I only carry the iPad charger now since it works fine with the iPhone.  The other way around will not work, however.  You cannot charge an iPad with an iPhone charger, the power rating is too low.

  • Can I use Siri on WiFi only Ipad Air?

    Hi all... I want to get an IPad.  I am new to Apple, and wanted to know about Siri.  If I get the WiFi only version, and then use it to connect on my home WiFi and tether to my phone sometimes when I am away, will I be able to use Siri while connected to Wifi?

    Siri is available in all ipad devices, to switch ON siri all you have to do is to tap hold your Home button for 1-2 sec, and siri will ask--what it can do for you. Yes your siri will be available anytime, whatever way you use your ipad to connect to internet, doesn't matter-wifi or cellular.

  • I purchased the new iPad wifi only and now i want to know if it's possible to exchange this iPad into the new iPad wi-fi + 4g?? Money isn't a problem. I can pay the extra money for new iPad. Is it possible ? I'm from germany.

    Thank you for your time

    You can use an iPhone as a personal hotspot (if your carrier supports it), or get a mifi device and use that as a mobile hotspot for it - the iPad will see them as wifi networks.

  • Can I use Fascinate as WiFi only?

    I think I've read this question before, but here goes.  After my contract runs out, can I dump my data plan and use the Fascinate as a WiFi only smartphone?  Or maybe just dump my whole Verizon plan, go back to a "dumb" phone and use the Fascinate as a mini tablet?

    If you use the Fascinate as wifi only mini tablet, I would suggest that you turn on the airplane mode. Then you can turn on the wifi radio whenever you need to connect to the Internet. The battery will last for days while in airplane mode.

  • Can i use my iPads wifi in Spain?

    I am traveling to Spain soon. I only have the wifi ipad2. Can I connect to any wifi out there?

    It is no different than connecting to wi-fi anywhere else.  If there is public wi-fi available, then you could use it.

  • Can you use facetime with wifi only? No SIM card in iphone4

    Party A: No SIM Card, in US, calling using WIFI
    Party B: SIM Card, in another country, receiving calls, with WIFI
    Can Party A and B connect through Facetime?
    Thanks for your time.

     You can make video calls through skype.I think without sim you cannot use facetime because facetime needs your sim number.
    Slight correction: FaceTime on the *iPhone* needs your SIM number.  FaceTime on the iPod Touch, iPad and MacOS have no such need.
    This is one of the things I hate about Apple.  Why not just allow everything to behave the same?  Why should FaceTime, a non-cellular application, have to behave differently on the iPhone than on all other platforms?
    (I also don't like that Videos lives in the iPod app on the iPhone, but has it's own app on the iPod Touch and iPad)

  • How can I use my iPad mini 2 wifi only as gps in my car?

    can I blue tooth my iPhone 5C with iPad mini 2 wifi only and use my iPad as a gps in my car?

    Take a look at iOS: Understanding Personal Hotspot  Your cellular carrier needs to support this feature and may charge extra, on top of your normal data plan.

  • Does ipad mini 2 wifi only can access to LTE signal by using pocket wifi 4g lte?

    Does ipad mini 2  WIFI ONLY can access to LTE signal by using  pocket wifi 4g LTE.,THANKS

    Hello Aaryn D
    You should be able to connect to that hotspot without issue as an iPad will see it within the Wi-Fi networks and you would not need the cellular model unless you want the iPad to constantly have a data connection.
