I'm not very computer literate when it come to terms like 5G. I just purchased the ipad. AT&T has a plan with 5G. If I plan only to check e-mails at work, take some photos and play games. How long will the 5G last per month? Or is this a question with too many variables/
Thank you
5g mean 5th generation
this can be 5th generation of the cellular network
currently the most normal cellular network is umts which is the 3th generation
and LTE which some call the 4th generation
not sure what att sold you that they call 5g but sounds like a mistake or somebody being cheated
5G could also mean that AT&T aren't advertising 5GB correctly, in which you receive 5 gigabytes of downloads for your phone per month.
And if you find yourself usually on Wi-Fi anyway, 5GB should last a while. I have a 2.5GB data plan and have only gone over it once, and that was when I spent a month without any Wi-Fi connections at all
A 5GB monthly data plan will give you a lot of capacity. Your post suggests you will be a light user so you should opt for a lower allowance and hence cheaper plan if one is available. Being a non-US user I'm not familiar with AT&T's pricing structure for the iPad.
I get by on a 1GB monthly plan as I mainly use my home network or free wifi hotspots,only using cellular when out of range of these.
I don't think the OP is referring to 5G which may or may not be the moniker of the next generation of mobile communications!
What does 5G mean in terms of usage?
