How to share your iPhone’s Data Plan with Your iPad
iPhone + iPad for Travel = Perfect Pair
GigSky has great mobile data-only plans for both iPhone and iPad. Many of us travel with both devices and if you don’t want to buy a separate data plan for your iPad, Apple makes it simple to share your iPhone’s data plan with your iPad.
Learn How to Share Your iPhone’s Data Connection with your iPad
It’s easy to share your iPhone’s data connection with your iPad – it’s called “tethering” or setting up a Personal Hotspot. Once you purchase a GigSky cellular data-only plan, tethering allows you to share that plan and use your iPad wherever you travel without the need for Wi-Fi. Lifewire has a great article with complete instructions for tethering.
Save on data by using free WiFi
Tethering your iPad to your iPhone is a great option when you don’t have secure WiFi. It saves the hassle of having to buy a separate GigSky data plan for your iPad. Still, you probably want to conserve data, so use free WiFi whenever safe and available. The connection will likely be faster than the internet speeds you get through tethering via your iPhone.
Don’t give hackers access to your data
Very important: alway sign-out of a guest Wi-Fi network. If you don’t, you may leave your data exposed to hackers who set-up fake hotspots with the same name as the guest WiFi network, but with no password required, and your iPad might try to automatically connect and expose your info. Stay safe and always sign out at the end of your session on a guest WiFi network!
