You might want to talk to someone at your local store. You can usually disconnect the $10/month once the Galaxy is paid off.

Can someone explain to me how to connect the IPAD to the Iphone in order to use the cellular network from the phone? Thanks.

I believe it's the same cord that you use to charge the iPhone. Instead of connecting the other end to the charger, you connect it to the iPad. I will wait to hear what the experts say, though.

After reading the posts here, I came to the realization that all I have to do is keep an extra cord in the glove compartment of the car; then I can use the iPad in restaurants, in the car for GPS, etc. I knew this was possible, but until now I didn't realize that it is such a simple solution to implement. This is especially true for me since I am in the process of adding dual car chargers to all of the family cars (so we can charge our variety of Apple and android products while on the road), which means I will already have the cables in the cars for the chargers!

The cables are about $20 in the Apple store. I decided awhile back to use only the genuine Apple cables, even though they are 3 times as expensive as the ones I can get on Amazon. I'm thinking it's cheap insurance that the cable won't fry my phone.

Edit: I found this Youtube video that may help:

Edit2: Ooh-ooh!!! Found this article that explains some of the pros and cons of tethering iPad/iPhone via USB vs bluetooth. Seems like there is always something new to learn about these new-fangled things!

I bought a table but I don't take it with me on the go so I am happy with the wireless in my home.

I have an iPhone and an iPad with data capabilities. I find a lot of the time the free wifi is very very slow. And then I want the 4g or LTE which speeds things up considerably.

I have a kindle. I was able to connect to the internet on a plane. I also used it in Myrtle Beach when I visited my friend. I did my banking and got all my email. she doesn't like anyone using her computer. I download my books from Amazon. I like my kindle to read in bed because you can turn the light off in the room because of the light on the kindle. No monthly bill. I use my desk top computer at home to do the internet. I have a portable phone only for phone calls. Wifi is find for me.

One thing to realize about wi-fi only is that it won't work for GPS. I LOVE the GPS on my iPhone as it has helped me a couple of times to navigate detours around unexpected construction at night. Saved me a lot if anxiety and time. Cellular access is needed if you want to use GPS on a device.

our Costco didn't have the iPad with cellular. We had to go to our carrier.

iPhone 6 has a personal hotspot under settings. Turn that on and it gives you a password that you type your iPad under wifi. Then you can use your iPad like you do at home with wifi. Just remember to turn the personal hotspot off on your iPhone.

An iPad with just wifi must have a wifi connection to search the Internet, maps, Netflix, etc. If you also have cellular, you can use it anywhere to search for information, however, you must also have a cellular service like you do for your cell phone so not only does it initially cost more, you also have a monthly service fee.
