I would think an internet connection would be immediately possible in an apartment.
Is there any problem?

If you hold down the monthly charge for your cell phone and apply for internet
you can probably manage.

I bought an iPhone with 5G support, but there is almost no 5G coverage area.

＞ But the plan is still Sprint

That's right, but when you enter Sprint's site to do something, you suddenly see the following motto.

Sprint Is Now T=Mobile

Experience our best network yet. I also used to open a Sprint account on the Internet to check my monthly debits, etc., but now when I go into that account, it seems that T-Mobile is completely out in the open with the above slogan. I used to think it was an "equivalent merger", but now it looks like T-Mobile has completely delivered Sprint.

However, when I went to the T-Mobile store nearby, they took care of everything including the card when I exchanged the SIM card mentioned above. I have been checking my VISA card every month because it is automatically debited and it was $70.

#17 You're right, but I've been using T Mobile's unlimited plan for less than a year, so I'm not sure if I should cancel early and pay the penalty to get wifI and cheap cell phone usage, or switch to a plan with hot spot like qchan is using, which is more affordable and convenient. I'm not sure if it's more convenient. 🤔

I can't believe I'm renting an apartment and can't even set up an internet connection.

According to my T-Mobile hotspot specs,

Mobile hotspot
5GB Unlimited mobile hotspot data at max 3G speeds after 5GB. When the data is over 5GB, it is unlimited but at 3G speeds, and videos may not run smoothly.

In any case, if you are going to buy an iPad, buy one first. Or borrow one from a friend or someone to see how it works. My wife spends most of her free time watching Japanese dramas from illegal video sites like 9tsu on her iPad under WiFi at home.

If you can strive for how cheaply you can live, I think you can strive for how much money you can make.

Thank you very much for your advice, Mr. DoubleMetal.
By the way, is your wife's iPad wifi only? ？
To sync it with my phone, I need to get a wifi + cellular model $ which is about 150 more expensive.
I'm not sure if there are many options since it's not cheap. 😅

gorochan, why do you insist on an iPad ？
don't you have a PC or laptop ？
if you do, why don't you pick up the Hotspot wifi there
and watch it?

q chan I used to have a PC, but it was submerged in water and I had to make do with just my cell phone for a while after that, but I was worried when my cell phone was not working well, so I decided to buy an I pad.

gorochan,

My wife's iPad is the standard WiFi only one.


＞ Wifi + cellular $ 150 more expensive model

There are some models that are expensive but also have cell phone functionality. In the long run, it will probably be a considerable expense. Well, if you have a senior account with a small data capacity like us, it will be $70/month.

qchan,

I don't know if you are a woman, but women love that small tablet size.

It is very useful when taking it to Japan, including for in-flight use.

＞ I was thinking


that I would have 2 lines/2 cars, which would cost me a lot in the long run but then I looked at my T-Mobile account and my account name is Magenta ® 55+ with 1 line $ 50/mon and $ 70/mon on line 2. The details are as follows


Current plan
Magenta ® 55+ (Current Plan)
Current plan
$ 70.00

includes all Taxes and fees included.

Talk&text
Unlimited

High-speed data
Unlimited 5G&4G LTE with 100GB of Premium Data

Mobile hotspot
5GB of high-speed mobile hotspot data included. Unlimited mobile hotspot data at max 3G speeds after 5GB.


With only one line, it is difficult to watch videos and other activities every day since the hotspot is only 5GB.

You can use Tetherig from your cell phone ？ You should be able to share the internet on your cell phone and see the iPhone network on your iPad. I can watch my iPad in the car with this.

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.

https://www.costco.com/new-apple-ipad-pro-11%e2%80%9d-128gb-with-cellular-(3rd-gen).product.100651145.html

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.
