Thanks, but it appears from the research that I have done on the web that to use an ipad connected to a phone service for data, you must buy the sim enabled ipad or jailbreak your iphone? There is no way to use the iphone like you can with a laptop? Is this correct?

This will allow one to turn their iPhone into a five node wifi hub with password security. The new feature may or may not be blocked by your service provider, and may incur an extra charge. You would with this hotspot be able to access the Internet from your iPad using your iPhone as a wireless hub — or vise-versa. I just ten minutes ago, as a paid-up iOS developer, downloaded and installed a beta version of iOS 4.3. I want to avoid an extra charge from Vodafone, but the temptation to try the new feature may just be too great. Sort of like a chocolate in the bar-fridge of a hotel room. :-) Cheers, Carlo Sent from my iPad On 19/01/2011, at 12:38, Hugh Griffiths <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, I have used my iphone to connect my laptop to the internet where I don’t have wireless access, is it possible to do this also with an ipad?
