Question about ipads and internet service?

[stephen4785]

Can an ipad use your phone as an Internet connection or does it have to have it's own data plan?

If your phone is capable of creating a wifi hotspot, all should be good.

This.

I don't know of any way to connect the two with a cable and have the phone provide internet service to the iPad.

If you have the iPad 3G/wifi, you can buy a month of data plan for the iPad. No contracts.
