is there a monthly fee for the airstash wifi? if so how much? How does this work with the ipad air and does this use your data minutes from your phone

Hi, I bought an airstash about a month ago and love it. There is no. Charge for using the wifi mode. What the airstash does is broadcasts a signal that a wifi equipped device can pick up, like my iPad and iPhone. You can't use it to get internet access, that's why there's no fee. It only broadcasts a signal so you can stream the files loaded on it. It acts like a Bluetooth device.

There is no monthly fee or subscription charge when you use the AirStash AO2. I have used it with my iPad and my iPad Mini and with my Samsung Galaxy S-4 (Android). It does not use data minutes, or data bytes from your cellular provider's service. The AirStash AO2 has a rechargeable battery in the stick part. The user can insert an SD card which has data (videos, documents, songs, etc. on it) in the end of the AirStash opposite the USB connector. When you turn the AirStash AO2's power on the Airstash AO2 creates a WiFi signal which can be received by any device on which the (free) AirStash AO2 app has been downloaded and installed. The user will see the file structure as it is on the SD card, and can open and view listen to (music) or watch (videos) the data in the files. Access to the AirStash AO2 can be password protected. Another important point, the AirStash AO2 can operate as a USB memory device (plug-and-play / or copy and paste) in devices which do not have the app downloaded and installed. That is, you can plug it into your computer and see and open the data on the SD card, and you can plug it into your DVD player and use it just as you would use a traditional memory stick / flash memory device.

No, There are is no monthly fee. It is truly free when you activate the device it will offer you free 2.5 gb free but if you look closer it will say first month and the second option is 500mb of free data monthly for life. Use that one. after setup log in to your account and turn off "auto top of/auto refill" of data or when you get to 450mb of data they will charge to refill.

Whatever device that has an USB port can transfer the data to the Airstash. The Airstash will then transfer the data to another device via WIFI that does not have USB capabilities.

Its never paid upfront :( the only option is to find one that is both wifi+at&t (Or another carrier) and then pay the monthly fee.

I'm using my duel sim Asha on the (New Cricket) AT&T; bought Cricket and it now uses AT&T;'s GSM network. I have a feature phone plan. Meaning voice and text messaging. $25.00 a month! I live in a city that you can't go 6 blocks and not find free Wi-Fi and thats how I use it. That said; if you have a data plan, it will work that way too. In the phone settings you can set it up for, data only, Wi-Fi only or both. Another thing, if you have the phone set for both, it will look for Wi-Fi first. Saving on a data plan. The phone has the best of both worlds feature and data!

its based off your connection... connect it to your phone to share wifi and your phones data charges apply

Works fine on my iPad Air and iPhone 5s... sometimes the transfer seems slow (i.e. when reviewing the days videos), but that may be due to my poor wifi throughput, or due to severs somewhere along the line. Anyway, the app is simple and works well.

The AirStash I have is WiFi only, it does not use bluetooth therefore it will not pair. Look in the WiFi section of your tablet you should see the AirStash if it is on. Connect as you would to a WiFi hot spot. You should also install the app on you tablet. But Airstash is a WiFi device.

The price listed doesn't include the plan, it just includes the cellular capability. And even if you select the iPad Air with the AT&T plan, I'm pretty sure you still have to call AT&T to have that iPad registered so that your plan is synced with the iPad.

Get a friend with Sprint to activate it on their account, and pay the $36. It does not take up a phone slot in their plan, and the phone used is charged for the minutes, not the Airave.

The cost is $55. The speed is MUCH faster than normal wifi or cell phone data. The last time I checked they said they would support existing customers but you could NOT become a member. One of the commenters disagrees with me so maybe that has changed.

Dear Jesus M , The iPad doesn't come with a data plan, but you can sign up for a data plan with At&t directly from the iPad. Thank you.

I suppose you CAN charge your iPAD Air, as long as you have a cable compatible with the Anker USB hub. I've charged my iPhone using it. I cannot answer the second question about syncing. Sorry.

Yes! you can either connect the airstash to a usb port on your computer and transfer files to it without using your network, or you can connect to your home network (airstash will create a temporary address/link) and you can transfer files over wifi. However, the files will be dependant upon the program you're using. For example VLC player will allow you to transfer video files from your computer to the airstash.

Its not paid up front it costs a monthly fee. You can connect to wi fi at places that furnish it like business that offer it free. Otherwise you have to pay for it through Verizon or any others that offer the service you pay for.

The Apple IPad mini is sold with both capabilities. If all you want to do is run it off a wireless router, then buy the IPad with just the WiFi as it will cost less. I have a data plan with AT&T; that costs me $10 a month. And it works with my wireless router at home or away just great too.

You have to pay for the internet if is that what you are asking, the iPad comes with a SIM card slot to activate a data plan with the mobile company you want, and also you can connect to any Wifi network if you have the login credentials or if the wifi is provided as free by an establishment. (your friend's house, the college campus, Starbucks, Panera Bread, etc)
