Can I use SIM from dead phone in 2020 iPad Pro for hotspot?

AtheneNoctua · ‎23-10-2022

The wifi here (no idea what the ISP is) is seriously sh*t. I have reported this to the manager umpteen times and he knows demand fecking well that my entire existence is online. He doesn't care. I'm now beyond desperate. I have unlimited data (thanks Mum!) and a 2020 cellular iPad Pro. I realise this isn't EE related, but you're all so helpful here, but can I take the SIM from my ex-phone and use it in my iPad and use that as a hotspot...? I'm presuming the answer is "yes", but I'm asking anyway...

Paging @bristolian @Northerner @XRaySpeX EE staff...

Panicking more than a little (I'm autistic and I need this working)

Yes, providing the iPad is unlocked or locked to that SIM's network.
