asked on

can i make my iphone 4s into a hotspot

hi there.

all of my friends have their samsung phones and it is easy to make their phones into a hotspot....is it possible for me to do the same with my iphone 4s.....i am running 5.1.1 and it is jailbroken...

is it possible to do this for free as well???

how do i make it into a hotspot so i can use the net on my laptop instead of on a phone....

btw i use the same phone network as them so we dont have to pay.....i just dont have simple access as them.....

i guess samsung is better than iphone in this area????

just install it and i need to do nothing else????
You don't have to do anything else with wifi.  You can just install it.  

However, If you want to tether with usb, you'll have to d/l the desktop application also.  It should be in cydia.  The tethered version works alot more reliable for me than the wifi version does.  But...I have an older version.
You don't need any third party software. Just go into Settings: General: Cellular: Personal Hotspot and turn it o!.
and that would work if you have it enabled by your carrier for a steep fee.  PDAnet will trick your carrier in to thinking your browsing on your phone instead of the hotspot.
My phone does not have that personal hotspot option??? I am on 5.1.1 not 6
thanks a lot.....it works great.....
