Q: Purchasing cell data

Two questions:

 

1.  I just bought one month of cell data.  Well this simply expire at the end of the month, and give me a new credit card charge, or will it just turn off?

 

2. Let's say I want to purchase cell data, but i do not have a current wifi connection?  Can't his be done, or do I need to find wifi somewhere first?

    You should contact your cellular service provider for specifics. But on my iPad I have a 1 GB per month service plan. On the 12th of each month my credit card is charged $20 and my plan is refreshed to 1 GB. The amount not used from the previous month is not carried over. If I approach my limit in a given month I will be notified that my data is almost used up and I'm given options to increase my plan or to purchase a new month. The plan does not expire. If I don't want cellular for a period of time I may cancel the service.
