Cellular Data
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.
Turn Cellular Data on or off: Go to Settings > Cellular Data. 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.
Turn LTE on or off: Go to Settings > Cellular Data. Turning on LTE will load data faster.
Turn Data Roaming on or off: Go to Settings > Cellular Data. Turning off Data Roaming avoids
carrier charges that may arise when using a network provided by a different carrier.

Hotspot shares iPad’s Internet connection with your computer and other iOS devices. See
Personal Hotspot on page 111.

for iCloud Documents, iTunes, FaceTime, Passbook Updates, or Reading List. If a setting is off, iPad
uses only Wi-Fi for that service. The iTunes setting includes both iTunes Match and automatic
downloads from the iTunes Store and the App Store.

View Account. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Lock the SIM: Go to Settings > Cellular Data, > SIM PIN. Locking the SIM means you’ll need the
PIN in order to use iPad’s cellular connection.
