    Carrier iPad cellular data provider — best deals?

    Hey folks, what's your best recommendation for a "value" data provider for an iPad cellular plan? I used to be with ATT unlimited, but didn't use it enough. For me, ideally it would be a plan with some GB and then slows down but doesn't shut off. Some of the bargain plans shut off completely...

    All iPads 1GB/30 day data plans?

    Are data plans from Verizon/AT&T/etc. of 1GB/30 days still available for $20? I have an Air and a 2 before that and usually don't need any more at a time. I just don't see the data plans like that listed. Thanks!

    iPhone X Does turning Cellular Data off while on WiFi REALLY save battery life?

    Let's myth bust this. I've heard that the phone uses more power to maintain a wifi signal rather than a 3G signal. That probably explains why sometimes when I pick up the phone after not using it for an hour or two, the status bar reads "3G", and then shows the wifi logo after a second or two...

    what are these??

    Springboard & HashtagImages? Neither are apps installed and searching for them brings up nothing. I just turned them off but looks as if they were using some cellular data.

    Cutting the Cord???

    Lately, when talking to a friend on the phone who has been a pro at computer sales, IT, configuring systems for business and other IT consulting for over 35 years, it seemed he was relying on cellular for not only his voice telephony but also for his data. I wanted to ask about this. Is it now...

    Cellular internet not connecting: 3G/4G showing on status bar at top of Home Screen

    Even though the 3G/ 4G symbol is displayed at the top of the Home screen in the status bar, yet the cellular internet data connectivity breaks intermittently. In such a situation, it reconnects only if Airplane mode is toggled on and then off, or if the mobile is switched off and on. This...
