Just had cellular data plan added to my iPad 2. How do I wep secure my wifi connection?

How can I secure my cellular data wifi network on my iPad 2? I want to ensure others are not drawing against my data plan.

You can set up a password to secure your WiFi connection from your router. A very smart thing to do given a recent news story about a guy in Florida who didn't secure his WiFi network and was raided by the polce, who later discovered his signal was being used by another dude for illegal purposes..
As to your 3G cellular data plan, I don't believe it turns your iPad into a WiFi hotspot that others can use. 
I can be paranoid, so I tend to turn on airplane mode when I'm not using my iPad, and especially overnight when I'm asleep.

  • I just downloaded the latest OS upgrade and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan.

    I just downloaded the latest iOS.7 upgrade on my ipad2, and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan.  I have checked my data plan and it's both current and over 2GB remaining.  However the indicator shows no service, thus would be the best steps to recover.  Thanks much for any support that can be provided.

  • Cellular Data Plan, email address does not accept .mobi

    I signed up for a data plan on my IPad and I am forced to use an old email address that ends in  .net. in order to sign up.  The signup process for a Cellular Data plan will not accept an email address that ends in .mobi.  The error that appears is "Email address must be valid."  The email is valid, but the IPad will not accept it.
    So the question is how do we get Apple to change the log in process to allow for valid email addresses ending in .mobi (or other new types that may be out there)?  This has been a problem since my first IPad with OS 4.
    I have spoken with Apple support, my impression is that they listened, but it won't go anywhere.
    thanks,

    Thanks for the replies, I just had the same problem yesterday and it was a misspelled e-mail address, BUT, it did take me three calls to AT&T and more than two and a half hours. The first person didn't even know what I was talking about and gave me a number for iPad support which turned out to be Apple's, so... no help. The second person told me they were there only to solve iPhone problems until I read her your posts, then she tried and tried until the call was cut off (this is AT&T after all). But the third person finally understood, even though it took her almost an hour to get to their iPad support department (she told me it was busy all the time) not before trying with their "technical department" also. I just can't believe that Apple sells millions of these things and AT&T can't supply a direct phone number for this department, or doesn't even train their personnel.

  • I can not send email from my iPad .  Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email.  I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

    I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
    Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
    Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
    Anyone???

  • Is there a phone number associated with the at&t cellular data plan?

    Is the AT&T cellular data plan for the ipad associated with an at&t phone number and if so, how do you know what it is?

    That's true. But he can call AT&T and cancel the account. Otherwise anyone who has the iPad will enjoy the data service on the original poster's dime.
    Good point.  Better then to logon to the AT&T's iPad account webpage to cancel the data plan.

    I just logged on to mine and I noticed that the phone number is listed on my account info.

  • HT4157 I have no cellular tab in my general settings. How do I enable a cellular data plan? It's an iPad 4.

    I have no cellular tab under settings/general, so have no idea how to activate a cellular data plan.  Help!

    When you ordered your iPad, you had a chance to get 3G/4G data plan for your iPad. You probably didn't get 3G/4G one. You either didnt get it or didnt order from AT&T, Verizon, or Apple's site. Unfortunetly, you can't upgrade to a 3G/4G model. 3G/4G is a service through a cell phone carrier and costs montly to do. You would have to pay for internet usage.

  • My iPAD cellular data plan.  I no longer know which old e-mail I originally used to set up my account.  Any info on how to recover a lost account access?  The only thing on line is a lost password function but it send info an e-mail no longer valid..

    My iPAD cellular data plan was set up with an old e-mail account and I no longer have access to this e-mail.  The password is forgotten.  I am unable to access my cellular data plan to update my 3G.  Any help on account access when you no longer can remember the access information?

    I called AT&T at 1-800-331-0500 and asked for Ipad support. They are going to send me a new SIM Card. This  will solve the problem. Paul

  • I have wireless router@home now it's asking for cellular data plan enrollment to have access to safari.

    I have a wireless router @ home and IPAD was working fine until it started asking for cellular data plan. I always choose later now will not allow me to use safari unless I pick a data plan.

    Ok turned off cellular data & roaming off. Checked Wifi Networks it displays my correct network. 
    Still I can open safari but most of it is shaded in grey so can't navigate.

  • IPad Air Cellular Data Plan

    Got IPad Air as a gift. Cellular data plan is set to AT&T. I don't want AT&T, how do I remove and change it?

    Okay so I tried what Demo suggested and that didn't work so I gave up.  Also, I don't want to turn off my bluetooth because I use a bluetooth keyboard all the time.
    So I was really excited today when Apple released iOS 8.1.3 thinking that they would resolve this very annoying popup message that locks the whole iPad intil you click on "Later".  Well to my complete disappointment the message popped up as soon as I tried to use the iPad after updating to the new iOS.  It also popped up while I was typing this message. 
    C'mon Apple, what is up with this total c**p?  Get rid of this message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just upgraded my data plan from 6GB to 10GB for the same rate of $80 is this a promotion? If yes, when does the promotion end? Thank you.

    I just upgraded my data plan from 6GB to 10GB for the same rate of $80 per month. Is this a promotion? If yes, when does the promotion end?

    In most cases you keep the same plan and promotions even when you upgrade the phone.  There are exceptions for very old plans and unlimited data, but essentially mrhelper is correct. You have option to "keep current plan" when upgrading.  so in most cases, your statement that you will go back to $100 for 10 GB when upgrading is incorrect.  What was your particular circumstance?

    Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service"
    "Cellular Data Plan Usage…There is no data remaining on your current plan. Would you like to add more data now?"what im going to do whit this problem??

    I have done that and it is definitely on.  My husband has the exact same phone and I upgraded his IOS at the same time, but this problem is not happening to his phone (we are also on the same plan, so our service should be the same).  Our settings appear to be identical and my phone is showing the 3G symbol at the top, so I can't understand why it won't access the network.
    I've turned it on and off twice and have reset all settings with my iTunes account, but it still isn't working.
    I'm not a complete idiot with this sort of stuff - I have tried all the obvious things.

  • Why won't verizon sell me an international data plan for my new iPad?

    Why won't verizon sell me an international data plan for my new iPad?

    Thanks for your response Meg. Verizon is definitely not customer friendly.  I do have the monthly prepaid domestic data service that I subscribed to from my iPad when I bought it a few months ago.  They didn't advise me of any other available plans at the time.  You are correct that they are now saying that in order to get an international plan I need to cancel my current monthly plan through one Verizon department (and abandon any remaining data mb) and then subscribe to a contract plan (handled by a different verizon department).  But here's the catch: in order to get international service I need to be a contract customer for six months (which doesn't help me as I am going to Europe next week).  Of course, if I had bought an ATT iPad I wouldn't be shut out like this since their monthly international plans are readily available through the iPad at any time.  I feel that Apple and Verizon should not have touted the new Verizon iPad as comparable to ATT's internationally (which they did) without fully disclosing the hoops one has to jump through.

    I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G.  My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy.  We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sim chip...we are told.  An Apple store employee here said this model is good only in the US. The iPads here take a sim card. We were advised by an Apple Store Employee at home that this model would work in Europe and that we could buy our service here.  That does not seem to be the case.    We have been told that we must invest in a modem at 200.00€ and then purchase a separate service plan for each country. We can use the free wifi wherever it is available but we cannot connect to the outside world when out of range. Is there anything else we can do?
    Thanks, John

    Unfortunately, no other solution is available.
    Hope this helps
