Re: Can I use a pay monthly SIM/tariff in my iPad? - Page 2

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?

Would Tu work on the iPad?

Yes, it should do. But I said "try" as it's a bit variable on iOS devices.

That's putting it politely....

Some have problems some don't but yes, variable is a good description

It didn't work the first time and left it, however came back to it a few days later and it works a lot better. It might have been the signal where I was but it wouldn't even download a simple app.

Obviously as it's an iPad, I don't get the options to toggle forwarding calls on demand and I'm still trying to work out the built in iOS9 call forwarding stuff built into the OS (not the general forward all calls) whereby if I'm on the same WIFI network, it'll forward calls.

Yes it does need to be on the same WiFi network but its working, so that's the main thing.

The weird thing is I can't get it to forward calls one way (even if the SIM is back in the iPhone for testings sake), it only seems to work when I enable the "nearby callers" option on both devices.

That does what it says on the tin and an incoming calls rings on both devices, but if it's only enabled on one device then the other one doesn't ring (which is what I want it to do)

SIM card and mobile network are the same but I don't know if O2 allows phone SIM to be used on other kind of devices as in Terms of Service.
