How to Share Cellular Internet Between Multiple Devices
Want to share mobile data between phones both ways, so each one runs on its own cellular plus the others'? Speedify's Pair & Share feature does exactly that. Pair two phones and each can use both cellular connections at once; pair more and every device adds another connection to the pool.
It's a new kind of hotspot. A normal hotspot only goes one direction, with one phone giving and the rest taking. With Speedify's Pair & Share feature, every paired device shares and receives at the same time.
Pair up with friends, family, or coworkers for a faster, steadier connection on the road, at conferences and concerts, or while live streaming.
Quick answer
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.
4G/5G cellular
Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.

Adds redundancy and throughput for remote sites or heavy usage.

A Guide on Sharing Mobile Data Between Multiple Devices, Back and Forth, on the Go
In order to share cellular data between multiple devices, Pair & Share works almost like a turbocharged personal hotspot, but instead of just one device sharing its connection with another, once paired, both devices can share and receive each other’s connections simultaneously. The more devices you pair with, the more connections you’ll have access to!
Traffic between devices is fully encrypted, and you always maintain full control over which devices can do what - set permissions, limits, or unpair from other devices at any time.
