Use Speedify's Pair and Share Feature to Combine Multiple Cellular Internet Sources at Once
Cellular bonding is the way to go when you need reliable Internet in any location. Whether you're traveling and working remotely or you're live streaming to your audience, fast and uninterrupted connectivity is a must.
Most solutions for cellular bonding include a dedicated hardware device you can use for this. All you have to do is put your SIM cards or tether mobile devices to the device, power it up with an external battery (or make sure it has its own battery charged) and you can benefit from the power of all mobile data connections at the same time. Such solutions are provided by companies like LiveU, Teradek, Dejero, etc. - check out a comparison of cellular bonding solutions.
However, there are also cellular bonding solutions that are software only and run directly on your device. This is the case with Speedify and in this article we're going to explain how you can use cellular bonding directly on your smartphone or mobile device with Speedify's Pair & Share feature.
Speedify makes your uploads and downloads faster, more reliable, and more secure.
Speedify combines Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink, and other satellites for faster internet uploads and downloads
Speedify is the only software app that combines Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and other satellites at once for secure, faster, and more reliable internet uploads and downloads so you stay online without interruptions.
Speedify will automatically detect and start using any available Internet connections on your device while intelligently distributing your online traffic between them for optimal performance. If you need help we have quick start guides available for most common set ups.
Speedify gets you faster uploads and downloads from the devices around you
Speedify's Pair & Share feature lets you and the devices around you pair up and share 4G/5G cellular both ways, so every paired device gets faster uploads, faster downloads, and a steadier internet connection. All sides share and use each other's cellular at once, unlike a personal hotspot, where one device gives and the rest take.
Speedify's Pair & Share feature runs over the local network between devices already running Speedify, with no extra hardware and no new data plans. Speedify creates an encrypted pool of shared 4G/5G cellular connections across all paired devices. Each device taps into that shared pool of combined connections for faster upload and download speeds and a more reliable internet connection.

4G/5G Cellular Bonding Directly on Your Mobile Device: What You Need
Cellular bonding needs at least two 4G/5G mobile data connections. So, if you want to use two cellular connections on your smartphone, you will need the following:
- two smartphones (iPhone, Android), preferably connected to different network carriers
- the Speedify Internet bonding software app
It's very simple to get things going and turn your smartphone into a cellular bonding device, whether you're just traveling and need to hop on a video call or if you're a reporter, broadcasting from the field and needing the best video quality when live streaming.
iPhone / Android Cellular Bonding Made Easy
Here's what you need to do:
- Install and run Speedify on both smartphones (iPhone / Android). Make sure you enable the Pair & Share feature when you run the app for the first time.
- Have the 4G/5G mobile data connection enabled on your smartphones.
- Connect both iPhone / Android to the same Wi-Fi. If there isn't any available, just create a personal hotspot on one of the phones and connect the other to that.
- Pair your devices from the Speedify app and you're ready to bond the two cellular internet sources.
