Do you have to have a phone service to get service away from home on ipad

Do I have to have Verizon phone service to get service on ipad away from home...like in car. If I do does it come from the phone company?

You need a cellular data service from either AT&T or Verizon, depending on the model iPad you have.  Look at this:  http://www.apple.com/ipad/3g/
iPad cellular data is separate from any cell phone data plans you may have.

  • I suddenly can't get email or internet access on my I-phone 4G when I'm away from home. how can I fix this?

    Yesterday, I suddenly lost the ability to access email and Internet on my I-phone when I'm away from home (where we have Wifi).   Is there a simple way to fix this?  I have gone into Settings and can't figure out what to do. 

    if you're away from how do you access data? through your network? check if you turned off your data. Go to SETTINGS>GENERAL>NETWORK
    turn on Cellular Data if it's OFF
    3G should also be ON for faster access.

  • HT201210 Ive updated to ios 6 using wireless. once completed it has asked me to plug my phone into itunes. i'm away from home without itunes what can i do ? the phone cant get past this screen

    Ive just tried to install iOS 6 using wirless. Once completed it asks me to plug it into itunes.
    I'm away from home at the moment so i dont have access to itunes. is there anything i can do ? the phone will not do anything !!
    is there a way to get passed this or revert back ?

    I have the same problem and we can't simply just restore from the backup. It says that I have to set up my iPad through restoring. So I tried restoring it in iTunes but it won't restore until I have to turn off this **** "Find My iPad" crap but I couldn't because the set up's not complete and it won't let me go to my settings unless I set it up. So basically it's asking me to go to my settings but before I could go to it I have to restore, and in order to restore I have to go to settings. Get where I'm at?
    Please, Apple Tech people! Help this 14 year old girl on her period, PMS-ing, thinking about how I want  to strangle however made this mistake of a set up, updating her iPad in 3 am in the morning cursing the day she even thought of updating. I seriously need to get out of this loophole. I don't want to use my other iPad that only has 16GB. I just wanted the pretty graphics I saw in my parent's iPad airs, I don't ask for anything more :''''(

  • If you have no electricity for more than 8 hrs you have no phone with Fios

    No one told me that when I gave up my copper line for FIOs that when the electricity goes off for more than eight hours I would have no phone service.  Usually, if the electricity went off I would just plug in one of the old phones with a cord and still have access to telephone service.  Not so with FIOs.  Cell phone service in this area isn't reliable either, especially if there are too many people trying to call out at the same time.  It is not a good product for someone who may need EMS service in a secluded area.  If I had known this, I would have kept my DSL, FIOs is not any faster when others are on line using it.

    Maybe you were not around for the installation of your FIOS when the installer put the battery backup in your garage. Note there is an emergency button on the battery backup that you can push to get an additional 5 hours of phone calls. In my case the welcome kit that I was given also provided directions on how to enable the extra 5 hours of phone support.
    Also I've DSL speeds are typically in the 1-7 Mbit speed while my with a 384/768 upload. My Fios gives me consistent 20 megs down and 5 up which is way faster then DSL.
    Good luck!

  • TS4006 can you have multiple phones on same user email

    can you have multiple phones on same user email

    If you mean can they share the same iCloud account, yes.  Just be aware that when multiple devices share the same iCloud account, any data they sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all of the devices.  Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting contacts) will also be taken on all other devices sharing the account.  Finally, the iCloud backups of all the devices will share the same iCloud storage space.

  • Why don't you have a phone #. I want to install Firefox on my ipad2 and can't get an answer. Apple says Firefox is coming for ipad2...when?

    I want to install Firefox on my ipad2 and can't get help. Apple says Firefox is coming for ipad2...when??? Why don't you have a phone# for support? Safari does not allow me to do what I need to on some websites. Help!!

    Apple's rules for their app store do not allow programs such as Firefox to be run on their iOS devices. We do have a tool to allow access to your Firefox Sync bookmarks and history on your iOS device.

  • HT4623 what if you don't have wifi and you have the phone connected to your computer

    Connect to iTunes, once you have the phone connected to iTunes, select it in the device pane, then in the Summary section select Check for Update.

  • HT1766 i have i phone 3G and i update it from i tunes and it says there is no sim

    i have i phone 3G and i update it from i tunes and it says there is no sim

    There is nothing wrong with Apple's activation servers. They are up & running just fine.
    We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
    Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation

  • Can you have a pdf as an icon for single click access on ipad or iphone?

    can you have a pdf as an icon for single click access on ipad or iphone?

    No - I think Safari is the only app that can have separate shortcuts (for different sites) on the homescreens. You can only access PDFs by first going into it's owning app.

  • Want to have My iPod Touch to be connected to a WiFi while away From Home

    While at Home I am connected to my WiFi through my computer system but when I am away from home there isn't very much WiFi Hot spots in my area except when I am in a Star bucks or in a business that says that they have "Free" WiFi. I have a few WiFi iPod Touch Apps that are able to locate Free WiFi Hot Spots but when I go and try to use them when I am away from home I am not able to use it at all.
    Is there a way that I can have my iPod Touch to be set up where I can be connect to any WiFis when I am away from Home? or have my iPod Touch to be able to search for any WiFis in my area?
    Note: I have a MobileMe Account and I have a email account with my local Isp which is a Pop account.

    I'll add another positive review about the MiFi device and its use with a Touch. I've had this for about 2 months, and it works very well. And I'll disagree with the poster who said "get an iPhone".
    The MiFi has several advantages over the iPhone -- First, it's a mobile hotspot that can provide WiFi for up to 5 devices simultaneously (the iPhone can't do that, even once AT&T enables tethering); Second, the MiFi allows use of a network other than AT&T (which many users may appreciate)...aside from Verizon, Sprint sells a version that works on its network; Finally, the price of the MiFi and its usage plan may well end up being less expensive than an iPhone.
    It's not cheap, but then again, neither is an iPhone and its usage plan. I spend nearly $60/month on the expensive MiFi plan, but can switch down (and then back up) to the lower-priced $40/month plan if I don't need the full 5gb a month that the higher plan provides.
    Sure, you don't get a telephone with the Touch + MiFi solution (although Skype works well if you add a microphone to your Touch), but not everyone wants/needs a phone...and for those who want primarily data/WiFi/Web, the MiFi with a Touch will give an iPhone a real run for its money.
    I'll also add that the original poster may just need access to more hotspots - i.e., other than those that advertise "free" WiFi. If that's the case, she might consider something like a Boingo membership which will get her online in many places...including just about every McDonalds in the US.

    Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

    Generally speaking, your bookmarks are private to your computer, and if you set up multiple Firefox profiles on your computer, to the one profile.
    Your bookmarks might be available to you at another location if you used the Sync service. In order to connect a new computer to the Sync service when you aren't near your old computer, you need a recovery key. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-bookmarks-tabs-and-more-your-other-computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer
    If you didn't use Sync or can't access your account, someone with access to your old computer could email you your bookmarks. Since there is a range of different ways to do that and the best choice might depend on what you can expect the person you ask to be able to do... could they start up Firefox in your profile and follow menu steps to export a file? Could they drill down into a hidden folder on the system, zip a file, and mail that to you? Etc.

    I am using a bluetooth LG HBS700 headset. Since upgrading my Iphone 4 to IOS 6 I can't have the Iphone more than 1 foot away from the headset without loosing connectivity.

    You are a genius! Thank you so much; my LG HBS700 now works with my iPhone 5. It is so wonderful that there is this facility for people to help each other. And it is so agrivating that there are these mysterious, unexplained, magic tricks necessary to make my phone work. Do you happen to know how the button combination resolved the Bluetooth issue? What was the Bluetooth problem and how did this fix it. Again thank you for passing this on.
