Turn LTE on or off: Turning on LTE loads data faster.
Turn Data Roaming on or off: Turning off Data Roaming avoids carrier charges when
using a network provided by a different carrier.
Set up Personal Hotspot: Personal Hotspot shares the Internet connection on iPad
with your computer and other iOS devices. See in this guide.
Turn Wi-Fi Assist on or off: If Wi-Fi connectivity is poor, Wi-Fi Assist uses cellular
data to boost the signal.
Note: Using data over a cellular network may incur additional fees.
Set whether cellular data is used for apps and services. Go to Settings > Cellular
Data, then turn cellular data on or off for any app that can use cellular data. If a setting is
off, iPad uses only Wi-Fi for that service. The iTunes setting includes both iTunes Match
and automatic downloads from the iTunes Store and the App Store.
Activate, view, or change your cellular data account. Go to Settings > Cellular Data,
tap View Account, then follow the onscreen instructions.
Lock the SIM card. Go to Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN. Locking the SIM card with a
PIN means you need to enter the PIN to use a cellular connection on iPad.
For more information about GSM, CDMA, and LTE cellular data networks, see the Apple
Support article .
VPN settings
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private
networks, such as the network at your organization. You may need to install a VPN app
from the App Store that configures iPad to access a network. Contact your system
administrator for information about the app and settings you need.
Profiles settings
Configuration profiles define settings for using iPad with corporate or school networks or
accounts. You might be asked to install a configuration profile that was sent to you in an
email, or one that is downloaded from a webpage. iPad asks for your permission to install
the profile, and displays information about what it contains, when you open the file. You
can see the profiles you have installed in Settings > General > Profiles & Device
Management. If you delete a profile, all of the settings, apps, and data associated with
the profile are also deleted.
