Ok i really need the scoop about tethering a iPhone 4 to a iPad 2 with AT&T

[ThePhotog]

I want to tether my IPad 2 non 3G to my iPhone 4. Is it possible without jail breaking either ? What cables are needed. Can someone post detailed instructions, Do I have to notify AT&T?

Thanks in advance. ThePhotog

Your iPhone4 needs to be running iOS4.3 - then you can set up a 'personal hotspot' (see the iPhone's 'Settings' page). No jailbreaking necessary. Your iPad can then tether to this hotspot. Some service providers (and I think AT&T are among them) require you to have a special 'tethering contract' before you can enable this feature.

Have you upgraded the Firmware of your iPhone 4 to 4.3? There's an option called Personal Hotspot that allows your iPhone 4 to share data with your iPad 2. Go to apple.com for more info.

It's easy with iOs 4.3

Set it up on your iPhone but be prepared to pay $45 per month (no contract).

I'm only considering tethering if we are on vacation. I wouldn't mine paying a month at a time.

Set up new iOS 4.3 on iPhone 4 and 1st gen iPad last night. Nothing changed on phone, doesn't give option to create personal hotspot.

Awesome! Thanks for explaining...I hope the 45/month isn't true.

$45/month to use a connection I'm already paying for?!

 

[ThePhotog]

Is it a annual contract or can you set it up for month to month?

Looks like you can switch to the tether data plan on months you want to use it. I just looked it up on my account in the manage features option online. And it is $45 a month but you also get 4GB total of data with the $45 tether package.

Wisco, you are not paying for a current

iPad connection until such time as you activate it. This is separate from your iPhone contract. It is in addition to your 3G service month to month that you may also activate fro your iPad. Those are three different, unique services. The mobil hotspot function, at $45, drives your computer and other devices like your iPad2

If you have the $45 mobil hotspot activated and are also paying your $25 iPad 3G charge you are double paying. Your iPhone contract only gives you service for your phone. Your iPad monthly usage 3G fee drives only that singular iPad.

Clear as mud?

It is month to month to tether. Use it only when you need it to connect your computer, iPad, or whatever.
