Hello all.
I have a friend who is looking at getting an ipad for work.
Basically, he will be out in the hinterland taking pictures and filing reports.
He thought of the ipad 4G. A 5mp camera is also good enough for most of his work.

Now, my question is what would be/is the best plan out there?
Is there anything he should know/ask when talking to his carrier? (I think it is bell)

Thanks in advance for all your help.
Robert:)

Does he have a data plan on his phone already? That gives you two options:

1- Tether from phone
2- Share the existing data plan through carrier

I'm not sure about Bell, but in my case the 6GB Data Plan with Rogers allows me to tether.

AFAIK, with Bell, if you want to go for the second option you'd have to pay 10$ extra per month to share the 5GB between both SIM cards (e.g. iPhone and iPad).
