Tethering is a massively useful tool which if your cell phone carrier allow it, will make your interaction with your tablet/laptop and your phone more useful than you ever imagined. If you are out and about in a location that does not have Wi-Fi and you haven't purchased a rocket stick for your laptop or a SIM card for your tablet then you need to learn how to tether.
Tethering is the process of linking your phone to your tablet or laptop so that you can use your phones 3G/4G network to connect to the internet. Both devices, phone and tablet or laptop work best with Bluetooth but it can also be accomplished via USB connection.
Here is my 12 step process of tethering an apple iPhone 4s to a mini iPad.
Step 1- iPad
Step 2- iPad
Select Bluetooth on your iPad and turn it on.
Step 3- iPhone
On your iPhone open settings.
Step 4- iPhone
Select General.
Step 5- iPhone
Select Cellular.
Step 6- iPhone
Scroll down (notice Enable 3g is at the top of the screen).
Step 7- iPhone
Select Personal hotspot. Remember it is possible that your cell phone carrier will not support this function and additional usage charges may apply. Contact your cell phone carrier for more details.
Step 8- iPhone
Turn on Personal Hotspot.
Step 9- iPad
Tap on <User's Name> iPhone.
Step 10- iPad
Now both devices will show the same message as long as the codes i.e. “123456”match. Then you can hit the pair button on both the iPhone and iPad.
Step 11- iPhone
Tap on "Pair" for both the iPhone and iPad
Step 12- iPad
Note the red arrow pointing to upper left hand corner indicating the link between iPad and iPhone, in addition to the iPhone listed as connected under devices in the right hand column.
