Is it possible to use my phone sim in my ipad, for the use of my data?

I am aware that iPad's are not phones and therefore cannot make calls, but I wondered if I put my sim in an iPad, could I still use it for internet data?
I hoped I would be able to use my phone sim so that I don't have to take out a separate plan for the ipad and pay for two data allowances?

I would not be sure, however I am curious as to what would the difference between getting a BB SIM and a data plan with unlimited email and web access? (Virgin does not exist in my country)
This is because if there is no inherent difference, then just get a data plan sim.

  • I have a 2GB data plan with my iphone 5c.  If I purchase a new tablet can I use the phone as a personal hotspot for the tablet without any additional costs?

        dianneb, great question and thanks for the help Weth. The good news is if you're on More Everything the mobile hotspot would be apart of your plan just as Weth mentioned. What you just want to keep in mind is that the usage from the tablet while connected to the hotspot would take from your current plan allowance. Hope this helps!

  • Can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

    can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

    If your Cell carrier supports it, you should have an option in your phone for "Portable Wifi Hotspot"  under Wifi and networks.
    Look in your Phone's manual for specifics.
    http://www.fusiondub.com/how-to-turn-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-into-a-wi-fi-hotspot -2/
    Once you set up the Hotspot, the iPad can connect to it like a regular Wifi network.

  • HT4759 I did a a factory reset to my I phone 4G but it ask for the original owner account but I don't know the original owner, how can I activate my device?

    I did a a factory reset to my I phone 4G but it ask for the original owner account but I don't know the original owner, how can I activate my device?

    Unfortunately, you can't.  There's no way around it.  You'll have to get the ID and password used to originally activate the phone or you will not be able to activate it again.  If you can't contact them, try to get your money back because you won't be able to use it.

  • HT1766 I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually. Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?

    I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually.There is also still enough storage space.  Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?

    The HT1766 article you attached lists the prerequisites for an iCloud backup:
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in Settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage, it will run on a daily basis as long as your device is:
    Connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi
    Connected to a power source
    Screen locked
    You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

  • Used my girlfriends computer to start my iPad for the first time I was logged into my iTunes account.  Now her iTunes in the user on my iPad how do I change it to mine.

    Used my girlfriends computer to start my iPad for the first time.   I logged into my itunes account.  Now the iPad has her iTunes account on it.  How do I change it to mine.

    You can log out of her account by tapping on the id on the right-hand side of Settings > Store and you can then log in with your id - is that what you want to do ?

  • Is it possible to prevent Windows Phone 8 users downloading apps from the Store unless thay have been "approved" for installation?

    We are currently migrating our mobile workforce from BB and iPad to Windows Phone 8 and will use Windows Intune to "manage" them. Is it possible to prevent these devices from being able to download / install apps that are NOT approved?
    We would publish "approved" apps on the Company Portal where necessary
    There will be no user-owned devices so there is no issue with rigid enforcement - we wish to stop games etc from being installed / propagated across the estate, which is a huge issue with the current devices
    Thanks

    This feature will be included with the Enterprise Feature pack (no I don't know when it will be released unfortunately)

  • Sequence: possible to use sequence in "Data" tab

    Hello,
    I have one question concerning the "Data" tab in Developer which makes it possible to enter rows like in an excel sheet.
    Is it possible to use a sequence in a direct way here? Entering "<sequence_name>".nextval or ""<sequence_name>".currval" just puts the string like "s.nextval" or "s.currval" in a varchar2-field.
    Trying to put "s.nextval" in a number-field results in ORA-01722 which means invalid number.
    Would be very helpful when there is a way to do this?
    Thanks a lot in advance for answers how I can achieve this.
    Regards
    Firefighter

    SQL Developer has a small utility that does what Jim describes. Select Tables, right -click to invoke the context menu, then select Trigger -> Create (PK from SEQUENCE). The context menu title is misleading in a sense that you might want to populate any column and you can, but in general this can be used to populate the PK with the next value in a sequence. (Assuming you have created the sequence)

  • Can I delay my phone upgrade until like September for the iPhone 5?

    My family's contract is supposed to be renewed this June or July, and so we would get the phone upgrade prices on new phones. I've been thinking about getting the iPhone, but I've heard that the iPhone 5 should be released sometime this fall. And since it's only a couple months longer for the new phone, I'd rather get that. So I'm just wondering, even if the 2-year contract is supposed to be renewed in June or July, is there any way to delay the upgrade until the fall so I can get the iPhone 5 at the upgrade price rather than the full retail price? If there's a number I could call to find this out, please leave either the number, or where I can find the number on Verizon's site.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much, and obviously there's no real rush on this.

    Each line on a family account has a seperate contract and upgrade date. The different lines can be upgraded at different times depending on their upgrade eligibility. Your eligibility never goes away once you become eligible, until you use it to purchase a subsidized phone from Verizon.
    If you are eligible for upgrade in June, once you reach that date, you can upgrade at any point after that. The same goes for the other lines on your family account.
    The primary line on the account should have one last NE2 credit to use toward their upgrade, and that will expire 6 months after becoming eligible (JUST the extra discount, not the actual ability to upgrade)
    So, to sum up, a family account is not a "family contract" each line has a different contract and upgrade date, and they are completely seperate.
