Synchronization of I pad and I phone

Question

I have a question for those who are familiar with computer environments.
I am currently using an i phone with T mobile unlimited plan and I am thinking of buying an i pad to watch videos.

Since I don't have wifi at home, is it possible to connect my i phone and i pad without wifi ？

Please advise me.

Aun,

I also got sidetracked and talked about something not directly related, but some people are recommending Tethering/Hotspot because Topix is "trying to buy an i pad to watch videos". However, the capacity of Tethering/Hotspot is low and it is not possible to watch many Japanese TV dramas frequently. In any case, there is no low-cost way to watch videos, so I don't know if they still sell them and the price is much higher than a WiFi only iPad, but there was an iPad with cell phone functionality sold. This would allow you to set up a second cell phone number and be ready to go. The price of the iPad is about 1.5 times more than the regular one, I believe.

I just looked on Costco's site and there it is, an iPad with cell phone capability.

But it's getting expensive, it seems like a few years ago a plain iPad was under $500.

Mr. Double Vine,

Terhering is Wifi transfer through a contracted device, while hotspot is direct Wifi reception from a contracted company (or transfer from a hotspot device), not through a contracted iPhone itself. If you have data unlimited, tethering is "supposed" to have no limit. I am able to watch videos in this form and have not incurred any hotspot fees, nor have I reached the limit and had my data throttled. I watch at least 50 hours a month in the car.

If I were in your shoes, I would try using a wifi enabled device.

I just connected my laptop via tethering from my iPhone and was able to watch videos normally.

Aun,

I used to think that Tethering and Hotspot were "exactly the same thing", but I just looked at the settings on my Samsung Galaxy and it seems that they are both used for communication between the phone and computer, but Tethering uses a USB cable or similar to connect wirelessly, while Hotspot uses a Bluetooth or other wireless connection. I just checked my Samsung Galaxy's settings, and it seems that both are used for communication between the phone and the computer, but Tethering is used for wired connection via USB cable, etc., while Hotspot is used for wireless connection via Bluetooth, etc.

So, in your case, it seems that you want to connect your iPhone to your iPad, so it would be more of a Hotspot connection.
