Hello everyone,
I have an older gentleman friend, who has an iPhone 5S, I believe. Technology tends to make him a bit nervous. But he tries hard to understand things. He wants to get a wireless hot-spot for his home, because he doesn't have internet from 1 of the companies that are offered out here. I want to help him out, and I can usually answer a lot of his questions. But this is 1 I don't really understand myself. How does a hot-spot work? Don't you already have to have internet, in order to be able to use a wireless hot-spot? I know that on our phones, there is an option to turn wireless hot-spot on. But I thought that you could use your phone like this, if you were in public, and you wanted to connect to the WIFI that was there, wherever you were. Is this not the case? He told me he bought a hot-spot from Walmart a few days ago, but that he was going to return it. When I asked him why, he said that it didn't offer good enough range. I don't know enough, or much at all honestly, on this subject, in order to help him. His phone is the only thing he has at the moment, for internet. His data is limited, and this he can't change. But that's a whole other story. Any help with this, will really be much appreciated! I want to be able to help my friend out, as much as I can.
