Re: Can I use a pay monthly SIM/tariff in my iPad?

lanceuppercut · ‎04-08-2016

I currently have a pay monthly tariff that I'm not needing to use as often as I used to due to getting a new work phone, can I put the SIM card into my iPad and use it for data on the iPad itself, not bothered about tethering and all that.

The physical SIM card itself is the same size and it seems to work, just wanted to make sure there weren't any issues or restrictions in the T&C's from doing this?

No problems at all mate.

They said it was working OK so whatever they are on is fine.

It wouldn't work if it was the wrong data. Presumably they have iPhone too?

just a thought - seems to work might mean it gets signal but not actually any data...

I have an iPhone tariff, will give it a go tonight when I'm home from work. Is there a way to forward the number onto my work phone using the iPad so if anyone calls me, I'll still know about it.

You'd be best off trying Tugo on your work phone then you could still use your tariff minutes and texts?
