    I only use my iPad on wireless networks but I want someone to be able to use their iPad in hospital where there is no WiFi. What’s the best idea for this?

    That’s the only option I know of but are there any others?

    Does their iPad have a slot for a SIM card? If not, then using the phone or WiFi dongle are the only options.

    All of the phone providers have a similar device, also called mobile broadband. It emits a WiFi signal for any tablet or phone to log on.

    Just look for a pay as you go option across the phone networks if you don’t need one long term.
