I use my laptop with a 'Verizon Jetpack' hotspot connection. The problem is that it costs $60 amonth for a limited amount of data. I also have an I Phone, and I have heard that it can be used to do the same thing as my Jetpack. Can someone tell me what the procedure is to make the I Phone into a hotspot for my laptop?
I Phone as a hot spot?

Mine is through Sprint but we have to pay extra to use the iphone as a hotspot. To set it up go to your settings then choose cellular. It has the option there to set it up as a personal hotspot.
areelius Thanks this. -
And if you don't want to pay extra pretty sure you're gonna have to Jailbreak it.

PDAnet is the app I use for android that turns my phone into a hotspot -- I imagine there is an iphone version.
areelius Thanks this. -
I have an IPhone on Verizon. If I want to use it as a hotspot, I simply turn on the "Personal Hotspot" feature in settings. I suppose you have to be on Verizon or ATT to have this built in??? But data blocks are costly per gigabyte on either of those networks BUT overage rates are no more [per gig block] than inclusive rates.
