Once the tablet was put on my Share Everything plan with Verizon (a quick phone call) I started downloading the apps I already own on the bigger iPad. Little did I know such a circumstance would occur right after receiving and activating the new iPad mini. The long battery life (~12 hours so far) coupled with the fast LTE connectivity could be tasked as a mobile hotspot when circumstances warranted it. It only costs me $10/month and it shares the 10GB data pool on my plan.īefore the device arrived it occurred to me that it would make a great MiFi-like device in a pinch. I bought the 4G/LTE model on the Verizon network and added it to my Share Everything plan.
My iPad mini arrived a day earlier than expected and circumstances forced me to put it right to work.
