Which iPad Air allows everywhere internet

Hi:
I received a nice iPad Air for Christmas and my husband thought it had the internet connection type where (like a cell phone) you can connect to the 'net pretty much everywhere i.e. driving down the highway, on a mountain top, in other words without hooking into a wifi. I think this one cannot do that. It's 32 GB and says supports wifi but so did my old ipad. And with my old one you had to hook into a wifi connection. I looked on Apple.com and compared iPads and it appears I'd need to have the iPad Air model that says either 'Cell' or '3G' to be able to connect to the 'net this way? This iPad cost $599. Is this right? If so what's the difference between the 'cell' feature and '3G' feature?
Also, if I'm right and I want to turn it in for a new one, will getting a higher model with cell or 3G feature require me to buy a monthly plan just like a cell phone or can I piggy back on my current iPhone AT&T plan or basically use that plan with iPad too? Thanks. 

I found a summary of data plan costs.
I am wondering what these quantities translate to? For example, does the length of time I'm on the 'net eat into the, let's say, 3 GB per month? Or is it just based on emails received or something else such as connecting to (not using) the internet? So I think I'm asking what drains down or eats up the size/space/quota.Time or activity or what? And how does the iPad (or whoever) know if I'm connected via my home wifi (most of the time) or if I'm tapping into the data plan when I'm away from wifi? Thank you!! It's a long way of saying which plan is best for me and can I get away with the cheapest?

  • How do I determine which IPad Air model I have?

    How do I determine which IPad Air model I have--Air or Air2? Thanks.

    The single row I'm speaking of goes across the full width of the iPad but is interrupted by the Lightning connector. Here's an ASCII example:
    iPad Air 2
    .  =speaker holes
    O= Lightning connector
    ...............O...............
    iPad Air 1
    : = speaker holes
    O= Lightning connector
    :::::::::::::::O:::::::::::::::
    I mentioned them as being rows and not columns because with a single row as with the Air 2, there are no columns when viewed horizontally...if viewed vertically, the rows will of course turn into columns.

  • Which iPad Air is best to be used in Bangladesh

    I Wanna purchase an iPad Air to be used in bangladesh and would like to know which is the choice for a cellular+ wifi ipad?

    The 13" MBP and the low-end 15" MBP (with only one GPU) both ship with a 60 W MagSafe adapter. The higher end MBPs (dual-GPU 15" models and the 17" MBP) ship with an 85 W adapter. So, your machine should have a 60 W adapter. With the LED not coming on, it sounds like a bad adapter.
    'Not Charging' is displayed when running on AC power with a charge level of 95-96% (it's running on AC, and doesn't start charging until the battery drops below 95%, but it's not really fully 'Charged' so the OS displays 'Not Charging'). But, in that case the light on the plug should be green.
    The 85 W adapter won't harm your machine, since the MBP will only draw the power it needs. But, you are probably better off getting the adapter that Apple deems appropriate for your MBP - the 60 W version.

  • Which iPad Air capacity number (32, 64 or 128) necessary?

    I'm about to buy an iPad Air, but am having a difficult time deciding the best size. I'll be taking videos (and lots of stills), with it and I have no idea how much space these might take together - the video is a real unknown for me. Can anyone expand/inform me. I'm between getting 32, 64 and 128GB. The price should not be a concern - I need facts. Thanks for any thoughts!! -Joan

  • So do you need wifi with iPad Air to get internet? Or can I take it on the road and use the internet

    Yes no?

    If you don't have a cellular iPad, then yes, you must have a Wifi connection to access the internet.
    That said, if you have an iPhone you can create a Wifi hotspot from your iPhone to your iPad.  Data charges do apply, so you'd need to add the service from your cell company.
    Or, you can buy a Mifi from a cell carrier as well, which would give you wifi access to your iPad.

  • Which ipad air LTE should i buy from US to be used in Singapore

    Any suggestions are welcomed.
    Thanks in advance.

    Check with whatever cell provider you intend to use and ask them the same question. The Verizon model would probably be a closer fit than AT&T or T-Mobile. It will work outside of North America but there is no guarantee it will work on the system you want to use.
    Speaking of guarantee, there is no may, the WiFi+Cellular iPads warranty are limited to the country you purchased it in, with EU locations counting as one country. If you need warranty service you will have to return to the US.

  • Which iPad should I purchase? Ipad air 1 or 2?

    Hey guys! I'm wanting to purchase a iPad for school next year (uni), and am debating over which iPad Air version to purchase. I'd like an iPad mainly to do my school work (type notes, look at pdfs, highlight textbook pages, etc), as well as browse the internet, use apps (like facebook, twitter, youtube, email etc) and watch movies. I originally was going to purchase the air 2, but after browsing a few forums, I noticed quite a few people complaining about it (vibration issues, screen distortion, battery, etc). Considering the price, I'm now a bit hesitant in purchasing it.
    Which I guess leads me to the iPad air 1. From what I understand, it seems to do the same job as the iPad air 2, but just without those issues (and for a cheaper price!)? I noticed that a few people were talking about safari reloading, but I don't use more than 2-3 tabs at a time generally, so I would assume that wouldn't be an issue? My only problem is that I'm worried it might be too slow compared to the iPad air 2's chip and ram, and is already too 'outdated'.
    I'm really hoping whatever iPad I purchase will last me at least a good 2-3 years (I know that might be asking too much!) and will be of good quality; I know products are always bound to have flaws, etc, but I'm hoping to pick the one of with the least amount, and something that will last me.
    I guess my question is what everyone else's experiences have been with their air 2 so far? Do you like it, prefer it over the air 1, prefer the build quality, don't like it, waste of money, etc.
    I've never owned an iPad, but currently have a nexus 7 tablet that I'm hoping to replace. I found the nexus too small when writing notes and didn't really like using keyboard folios with it; which is why I don't really want to purchase any iPad Minis.
    Any help is appreciated!
    edit- I apologise if this is in the wrong place!

    The biggest issue between the 1 and 2 is that all devices eventually age out of software updates. For example the iPad 1 maxed out at iOS 5.1.1, only the Touch 5 was eligible for iOS8 and I think only iPhones 4+ could get iOS8. So eventually, if you get a 1 you may face maxing out of the iOS updates before the two.
    That said, even if your device maxes out it'll still run just fine as it is. You may just face issues with future apps....so say my iPad maxes out in December. In February a really cool game comes out and I want it... but wait, it's for the newer iOS and won't install on mine. If you're aware of the issue and accept the issue, there's no reason you can have a fully functioning older device.
    And if the 1 is more stable than the 2, even better. I've been very lucky with my iPad 2 to have it be a very stable and dependable model while later models do seem to have had issues.

  • Which IPAD 2 AIR should I purchase for my first tablet

    Which IPAD AIR 2 should I buy for my first tablet ? 16,64, or 128? and what is the best option ?

    You're welcome. If you want to stay active the iPad is the key. I bought my first iPad last year when I was 62. A year and a half later between learning the iPad then helping out on the Forum my mind is as sharp as ever, Sure beats cross-word puzzles. When you go to buy your iPad tell the saleshelp what you plan on storing on it, 64GB might not be enough. Have them set it up for you and ask if they could show you the gestures. Remember there are plenty of helpful people here ready to help so stop back anytime with questions.

  • Two days ago I was sent a notice of an update being available for my new 5s and Ipad Air. I tried to do the update and it wouldn't allow me to and ever since I can not acsess the internet on either device.

    Please help! Two days ago I received a message stating that a new update was available for my new 5s and IPad Air. I attempted to do the update and wasn't allowed to. Since then I am not able to access the internet on either device. It has been 2 days. These are very expensive paper weights that are only 2 weeks old!

    Thank you for your response. Like you it doesn't make sense to me either, however I finally got a response back from  AT&T. There are two towers down in my rural area and they should be backup tomorrow between 2-3pm. The update 'mess' is just a coincidence? We'll see,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • My airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

    What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
    I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
    Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
    No spaces.
    Pure alphanumeric.
    Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
    That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

    No I don't have another computer. I was thinking initially I would put them on my ipad but since I don't have enough gb maybe I can store them in some cloud thing? Sorry am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to all this. I just need to have them stored someplace and accessible to play when I need to. Thanks for your help.

  • HT201301 viewing and recording internet videos ???? How do I use the ipad air as a PVR ????

    How do I use the ipad air as a PVR to record and later view internet videos.
    I want to watch the canadian version at cbc.ca/sochi which is streamed in real time at least 10 hours later during daylight hours here not in the 10 hour shift in Russian time. The events tend to occur in  the middle of our night and I want to watch in our daylight hours.
    Yes the events are rebroadcast later but I expect they will be general and not specifically covering Canadian competitor. Commentary etc will be different.

    You don't.

  • Which Stylus for iPad Air 2

    So I purchased (under the impression given by a Best Buy rep that it was fully compatible) a Wacom Intuos Stylus for my iPad Air 2... They are not compatible and I've been fighting with it for 2 days longer than the allowable refund period.
    I need something capable of producing art quality drawings/graphics as well as taking notes in an note taking app...  Any thoughts, ideas, etc... would be helpful.  Thanks!

    Hello E2daG
    If bluetooth isn't a big deal for you (because there is no capacitive/bluetooth/electronic stylus compatible with the iPad Air 2 yet) Please save yourself the trouble and go get an Adonit Jot Pro.  I tested every available thing today that I could get my hands on and finally decided to get one of those.
    This is my first iPad (I have the Air 2) so you can imagine my surprise at trying to get a stylus and seeing so many issues. Come to find out it's because Apple modified their touchscreen capabilities and it causes screen edge issues and wobbling.
    So, I went from buying the Wacom Creative Stylus 2 which I would have loved if it would have worked, to the Adonit Jot Pro from Target for 30 bucks. I saved myself about 55 bucks after taxes and I'm a happy camper!  You don't get pressure sensitivity, but you're looking for good drawing and note taking anyway.
    I hope this helps!
