Feature · Pair & Share
Cellular sharing that goes both ways.
Need more speed? Speedify's Pair & Share feature lets you and the devices around you pair up and share cellular both ways, so your connection gets faster and stays steady. No extra hardware, no new data plans, no setup beyond a tap.
⚡️
More speed
Faster uploads and downloads.
Speedify already bonds the connections on your own device. Pair & Share stretches that across devices: every one you pair with adds its cellular to yours, and yours to theirs, so you both move faster.
📱
Stays connected
A device wanders off. Your call keeps going.
Each device you pair with adds another path to your connection. If one drops out of range or loses signal, Speedify keeps you online on the rest, with nothing to reconnect and nothing for you to do.
🎉
No additional hardware
No new gear. No new plans.
Pair & Share runs over the local network between devices already running Speedify. Pair once, and they'll reconnect on their own the next time they're together.
01 · The Basics
A new kind of hotspot.
For as long as phones have had data, there's been one way to share a cellular connection with the devices around you: turn on a personal hotspot. One device broadcasts its connection as Wi-Fi and everyone else hops on. It works, but it only goes one direction. One device gives, the rest take, and you all share the speed of that single connection.
Pair & Share takes a different approach. When you pair two devices, both can use each other's cellular at the same time. Pair with another and you add its connection too. Every pairing is its own two-way link, and you're always on both ends of it.

02 · What happens when you pair
All your connections, working as one.
Pairing happens right over the local network you're both on, and only after you each say yes. From there, your phone treats every paired connection as one of its own. Your Wi-Fi, your cellular, and the devices you've paired with all carry your traffic at once, bonded into a single session and reassembled at Speedify's Speed Server.

01
Your devices find each other
Devices running Speedify on the same Wi-Fi or local network spot each other automatically. No addresses to type, no accounts to look up.
02
You both say yes
A pairing only starts when both sides agree to it. You can turn down a request or unpair anytime. It's always mutual, and always reversible.
03
An encrypted link opens
Every connection you pair runs through an AES-256 encrypted tunnel, so the network around you only ever sees scrambled traffic.
04
You stay in control
Each device shares up to 10 Mbps of its cellular by default. You can toggle sharing or receiving on or off, or set a connection as backup-only, anytime in the app.
🔒
Your friends can't see your traffic.
Everything you share through Pair & Share is encrypted end to end. A device lending you its cellular has no view into what you're doing with it, and you have none into theirs. Sharing a connection never means sharing what's on your screen.
03 · Where you'd use it
Four moments Pair & Share was made for.
It earns its keep when your connection isn't enough and there are a few devices nearby that can help. Pair up, and their signal becomes part of yours.
Scenario 01
From the sidelines.
You're trying to share a clip or video-call grandparents from the middle of a soccer field, and your one bar is fighting the whole crowd. Pair with a couple of other parents and your call rides on all your connections at once.
Your call gets61 Mbps
Scenario 02
On the commute.
Your video calls keep dropping on the train, or a big attachment won't leave the airport gate. Pair with a travel companion or two and you get a steadier connection that holds the call as the train moves between towers.
Steady call at35 Mbps
Scenario 03
At the live event.
A packed concert or festival, every bar collapsed and the towers jammed. Pair up with a few friends and your connection pulls from all of them, enough to actually post the moment instead of watching it spin.
Each phone gets27 Mbps
Scenario 04
On the road.
A cabin, a campground, or a long drive where your carrier has no coverage but someone else's does. Pair your family's phones across carriers and you get one connection that's far likelier to stay up wherever you stop.

04 · What you can pair with
From your phone to your laptop to your router.
Pair & Share is built into the Speedify app on every platform, so you can pair anything with anything. Pair your laptop with your phone for an extra connection, or two phones on different carriers to back each other up. Whatever you've got in the room can join in.
Going Further
Running Speedify on a router at home? It can pair with the devices on your network too, adding their cellular to your router's connection as backup or extra capacity for everything on your Wi-Fi. See Speedify for Routers →
