Cellular settings

Use Cellular Data settings on iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular models) to activate cellular data service, turn cellular use on or off, or add a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to lock the SIM card. With some carriers, you can also change your data plan.

For the following options, go to Settings > Cellular Data and turn the options on or off, or follow the onscreen instructions.

Turn Cellular Data on or off. If Cellular Data is off, all data services will use only Wi-Fi—including email, web browsing, push notifications, and other services. If Cellular Data is on, carrier charges may be incurred. For example, using certain features and services that transfer data, such as Messages, could result in charges to your data plan.

Monitor and manage your cellular data network usage. Go to Settings > Cellular. You can see which apps use cellular data and turn off the option, if you want.

Turn LTE on or off. Turning on LTE loads data faster.

Turn Data Roaming on or off. Turning off Data Roaming avoids carrier charges when using a network provided by a different carrier.

Set up Personal Hotspot. Personal Hotspot shares iPad’s Internet connection with your computer and other iOS devices. See Personal Hotspot on page 31.
