How do i know if i'm using my home wifi or my prepaid account?

I've connected my ipad2 to the WiFi at home and recently purchased an optus prepaid for when i'm out and about. Can anyone tell me how to tell that when i'm home, i'm automatically connected to wifi? or do i need to turn on/off anything??
Please help

If wi-fi access is turned on with your iPad, your iPad will connect automatically to an available wi-fi network you have access to and that you have connected your iPad with before when returning within range of such a network.
If you have Data Access turned on, your iPad will connect to the cellular network automatically (if you have cellular reception) when leaving the range of a wi-fi network your iPad was connected with.
When both are turned on, the switch/connection between the two is automatic and seemless.
Check the status bar. When connected via your carrier's 3G network, 3G will be available in the status bar next to the abbreviation for Optus. When connected to a wi-fi network, there will be a wi-fi icon in the status bar.
This is covered in the iPad user guide - what the various status bar icons represent.

  • Verizon iPad 3 gen: How do I know when I am using 4G or WiFi?

    I purchased the pre-paid Verizon data plan for my new iPad WiFi/4G.  When the cellular LTE service and WiFi are enabled, the iPad shows Verizon LTE and the WiFi signal.  How do I know which one is being used?  Does the iPad default to WiFi when it is enabled? Do I need to turn off cellular data service when I am on a WiFi to avoid being charged for cellular data?

    I was in an area where the iPad is set to recognize the wifi network and log into it automatically, which is does (at least when cellular data is turned off).  I didn't realize cellular data was turned on, so I didn't check, but as soon as it told me that it had used up all of the cellular data, I checked and it had indeed automatically connected to the wifi network like it was supposed to do.  The problem is that the iPad is prioritizing cellular data ahead of recognized and available wifi networks.  I haven't found anything in any of the forums discussing how to change that, and there appears to be no way to determine which is being used without constantly checking your cellular usage (looking to see how much of your plan has been used and how much is left).  That data is not updated in real time and could take up to 72 hours to post, so even that doesn't tell you that the iPad is using cellular at any given moment instead of wifi.  Consequently, it's worth warning other unsuspecting iPad users that they need to turn cellular data off when not in use unless and until they determine that their iPads are not experiencing what at least several hundred of us are experiencing now.

  • How do i know if my query using  SORT_AREA_SIZE   or temporary tablespace ?

    Good Morning  Everyone !
    My DB version is 10.2.0.1
    I have large table  exactly 3 million records.
    SQL> select count(*) from tab1;
    COUNT(*)
       300000
    SQL> select * from tab1 order by no DESC;
    sorting  ... in process
    300000 rows selected.
    in Terminal 2 : I tried to find  sorting details -   ( No rows  selected - why ? )
    SQL> select USERNAME , USER , TABLESPACE , SQL_ID from v$tempseg_usage  ;
    no rows selected
    SQL> /
    no rows selected
    When i google i have seen this ;
    If  Oracle cannot do the sort in memory  (SORT_AREA_SIZE initialisation parameter), space will be allocated in a temporary tablespace for doing the sort operation.

    MY DOUBT QUESTION :   How do i know if my query using  SORT_AREA_SIZE   or temporary tablespace ?
    Thanks in advance.

    @ JohnWatson
    I have seen some articles from ORA - FAQ. Good.
    SQL> select USERNAME , USER , TABLESPACE , SQL_ID from v$tempseg_usage;
    USERNAME                       USER   TABLESPACE                      SQL_ID
       SCOTT                               SYS          TEMP                            fh9vqgyd6m0d1
    PGA management means that sorting only 300000 rows  may well occur in memory
                Is this (3 million rows) -  standard  value for 10g version ?
    Thanks JohnWatson

  • How do you know what classes to use ?

    Hello,
    This may sound daft - but how do you know what classes to use to do a particular task ? For example to do password-related stuff - how would I know which classes are all relevant to that ? Am I supposed to buy a book on the classes as the API documentation doesn't really tell you WHEN to use which classes.

    If you're using JSP, then your password field is likely going to be implemented in HTML. So that's nothing to do with Java. (And you can't use a JPassword field in a JSP page.) But when that field comes back to your server, you may be using Java to authenticate it. Even there, the question is not yet what Java method you are going to use, but what methodology. You could have a database to authenticate against, or an LDAP directory. Or you could have the web server use its built-in authentication, which means you don't have to do any Java coding at all. And there are other ways.
    So the question before yours is, how do you know what methodology to use? Again, that comes down to experience.

  • How can I know the database is using Cost Based or Rule Based?

    Hi all expertise,
    How can I know the database is using Cost Based or Rule Based?
    If cost based it is using, what methods are need to use to minimize the cost when database is running? And which tables I can see the performance of the database?
    Thanks

    how to see database setting ?

    SQL> sho parameter optimizer
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    optimizer_dynamic_sampling integer 1
    optimizer_features_enable string 9.2.0
    optimizer_index_caching integer 0
    optimizer_index_cost_adj integer 100
    optimizer_max_permutations integer 2000
    optimizer_mode string CHOOSE
    choose means if table statistics is available then it will use cost
    else
    use rule based optimizer
    for seeing performnace of table use
    set autotrace on
    and run your query
    if it doen't show cost.it means it use rule based
    for using cost based
    u will calculate table statistics

  • How can I know which file is using by the self-service workflow?

    Dear all:
    In my directory, there are two HRSSA.wft and How can I know which source is using by the workflow of the self-service ?
    my environment is oracle 11.5.9 | self-service 4.1 | workflow builder 2.6
    Thanks
    regards
    Terry

    One way would be to download the HRSSA workflow to a wft file (using the WFLOAD utility - see MOS Doc 578248.1), then comparing this downloaded wft file with the two files you have (using a utility such as diff in Unix). The comparison that reports no differences will identify the wft that was uploaded into the database.

  • How will you know if someone is using video chat?

    How will you know if someone is using video chat? Does the green camera indicator turns red?

    Hi,
    You Buddy List will show two types of AV icons.
    "Single" type which indicates the person can only do 1-1 Chats.
    "Stacked" icons indicating they can do Multi-way chats.
    Example pic
    If they appear feint or "greyed out",  so to speak, then they are Busy to someone else.
    (if they are chatting with you they will appear dark again once connected)

    for some reason i have more than one apple id, not sure how, must have set one up ages ago and forgot about it. can i delete one, or merge them? how do i know im not going to lose info if i delete one account?

    You can neither merge or delete them. Pick one and stop using the other. If they both have purchases associated with them you will have to keep using both.

  • If you use your home wifi, can your parents see your iMessages?

    I'm just wondering if you use your home wifi can your parents see your iMessages?

    Nobody can see your iMessages unless you let them (leave the device unlocked, set the account up on another device they have access to, have messages popup on the lock screen). It has nothing to do with where or how you use iMessage.

  • In my preferences on my mac mini when i click it, i find the lock the open even after changing the password what would cause this?I use my home wifi network and have never given the password out,as I asked what could cause this?

    What could cause the lock in my preferences to seemingly to click open on there own,I use my home wifi network which is private and have never given out that password either for my network or preferences password.....help,Thank you

    You're welcome.
    Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
    You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

  • I use my home WIFI for my ipad ... do I need to plug into my computer to do an update to IOS 7?

    I use my home WIFI for my ipad ... do I need to plug into my computer to do an update to IOS 7?

    You can connect your iPhone to your compter and update using iTunes or on Wi-Fi directly on the device.
    Just my two cents, but I found it easier to update via iTunes on my computer.

  • Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help :)

    Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help

    For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
    Hope this helped a bit, Sean
