I've got an iPad air on vodafone pay monthly contract.
I'm going to Spain on holiday soon and would like to use the data on my iPad. I know voda don't currently do a bundle/add on for traveling with an iPad.
Can I put a voda PAYG sim in the iPad then get the bundle/add on?
If not I'll be using my O2 iPhone for £1.99 a day.

Hi there
If you want data on your iPad, you can opt into the daily charge of £8 for 100MB. If you don't opt in, you will pay 19.8p per MB. More details here
It may be more cost effective for you to opt into EuroTraveller on your phone. It costs £3 per day any allows you to use your UK allowances abroad. Please be aware that it doesn't include Data Test Drive. You can then tether your iPad to your handset - it works out pretty good value that way. More info on EuroTraveller here. Please be aware that the first chargeable event (ie sending a text, making a call or browsing the internet) will trigger the £3 daily charge.

You can use a phone SIM in the iPad for data only.
There's some great suggestions by drey_p.
Have a great time away.

I don't want to come back to a huge bill and I know the ipad contract isn't classed as mobile data.
