Cellular Bonding on iPhone and Android: Speedify Combines Two Phones

Use Speedify’s Pair and Share Feature to Combine Multiple Cellular Internet Sources at Once

You can do cellular bonding on an iPhone or Android phone with no extra hardware, by combining the 4G/5G cellular connections of two or more phones. Traveling in a group? Here is how to combine coverage from two phones.

Speedify is an app that combines two or more internet connections at once, such as the 4G/5G cellular from two phones, so you get faster uploads and downloads and stay online if one connection drops out. With only one internet connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and cannot make that connection faster or stop it from dropping.

Speedify uses every internet connection your device has, at the same time

Combining 4G/5G Cellular Directly on a Phone: What You Need

Cellular bonding means combining two or more 4G/5G cellular connections into one faster, more reliable connection. To combine two cellular connections on your smartphone, you need:

  • two smartphones (iPhone, Android), preferably connected to different network carriers
  • the Speedify app, which combines internet connections

Setting up two phones to combine their 4G/5G cellular takes a few minutes, whether you’re traveling and need to hop on a video call or you’re a reporter broadcasting live from the field and need the best video quality.

How to Combine 4G/5G Cellular from Two Phones with Speedify

Here’s what you need to do: 

  1. Install and run Speedify on both smartphones (iPhone or Android). Turn on Speedify’s cellular sharing feature (labeled “Pair & Share” in the app) when you run the app for the first time.
  2. Turn on 4G/5G cellular on both smartphones.
  3. Connect both phones to the same Wi-Fi network. If no Wi-Fi network is available, create a personal hotspot on one phone and connect the other phone to it.
  4. Pair your devices in the Speedify app, and Speedify combines the two cellular connections.

Why Speedify Works Well for Combining 4G/5G Cellular on a Phone

Speedify is an app that combines Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite internet connections into one faster, more reliable connection. Speedify runs on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux and OpenWrt.

Speedify splits your traffic across your connections packet by packet. If one connection drops in the middle of a video call or livestream, your traffic moves to the others without dropping the call. In Streaming mode, the default, Speedify also prioritizes streaming traffic and adds redundancy when needed.

Speedify also encrypts all of your web traffic like a VPN, which protects your privacy and security on any network.
