WiFi and cellular on ipad

Hi there Bdubya1410,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you have questions about iPad options. We’ll be happy to help.

While all iPad models will come with the ability to connect to Wi-Fi and use the internet, some models also have the ability to connect to a cellular data plan, allowing you to use the internet while away from your Wi-Fi network, which is commonly at home.

This page explains in more detail: Get cellular coverage anytime you need it. Right from your iPad. We hope this is helpful.

Best regards.

Hi there Bdubya1410,

Thanks for reaching back out. It sounds like you would like to use your personal Hotspot with your iPad.

As long as this service is available for your device on your account, which will be up to your cellular carrier, you can use a personal Hotspot with your iPad. Here’s more information: How to set up a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad.

Take Care.
