Anyone have an estimation of what might be the amount of data used for updates, Cloud connections, etc? I'm trying to figure out if I should get a dataplan for my iPad so I can use it to connect away from home and have full capability. My iPhone plan doesn't allow it to be used as a hotspot - I'd have to change to a higher priced with reduced data plan if I want to have hotspot capability.
You might be best off putting the iPad on a family data plan (that's what I did with my iPad) and vs having 2 iPhones w/separate data plans +1 iPad I know have all three on one data plan (where the data is SHARED between all three devices) for the exact same as I used to pay for a 4GB + smallest plan for my wife for all three, this is on AT&T though looks like you're no on A&T from the plan sizes you're talking about.
P.S. I'm the one who PM'd u on the other forum that they're in stock now

FYI though you would
not be able to do what you are thinking of doing. I am in the exact same hw setup. iPhone, iPad (mini) & Hex-Net.
So in order for you to have full capability (well as full as it gets with mobile for now) you
will need to have one of the devices to work as a hotspot, because the Hex-Net has to be able to connect to the internet!
When you are connecting the Hex-Net to your iPhone or iPad via (AP mode) wifi that device will
not be providing internet to the Hex-Net it is merely using wifi as a way to connect the two. So in reality to do what you are considering to do you would need this:
1. Hex-Net (duh!)
2. Something to provide internet access to the Hex-Net (your iPhone or iPad as hotspot) and in reality the device in nr 3 needs to be connected too!
3. AND last but not least, a second device that now can access the Hex-Net over the network your mobile hotspot device is creating, this because the device that is creating the hotspot will not be able to connect to the same network it is creating so when/if you go to the browser on your iPhone and it is creating the hotspot it will use the LTE network to access the browser which will not see the Hex-Net
Hope that all made some sense? This is all about iPhones and iPads not sure how it works in Android world?
