Can anyone tell me if a new iPap (3) with wireless service can be configures to act as a wifi hotspot?

Thank you !

My iPad 4G works as a personal hotspot, WiFi, bluetooth, and USB cable.

I can also confirm that my Verizon 4G iPad can also be used as a hot spot. I have only tried bluetooth.

Verizon will allow the free use of an iPad as a hotspot. AT&T charges a fee for the service.

Thanks for the insight on Verizon and AT&T. Which one do you have?

I have UK Vodafone 3G. No wifi hotspot facility - very disappointing.

Do you find the data slow on AT&T?

I use my O2 iphone 4 as a personal hotspot for my ipad...decided not to go for 4g version of the ipad 3 because I could do this

I am using Verizon and can say very good service if you need a wifi connection. its worth it.

That's interesting! You're the first person I've come across that has the personal hotspot on their iPad 3 on Vodafone UK.

Did you purchase your iPad 3 through Vodafone? Did you have to contact Vodafone to get the hotspot functionality enabled?

As I stated earlier, mine works well on the 3 network with the hotspot facility
