Am I Able to Use my iPhone 4S as a Wi-Fi Extention?
I have Wi-Fi at home, but from my bedroom, my laptop won't connect to the router because it has a horrible router in it. We can't move the router anywhere because where it's at is the only place that it can be at. My phone is connected to the Wi-Fi and works fine. Is there a way to use my iPhone as a Wi-Fi extention?
Do you have mobile hobspot enabled on your phone? It cost extra.
Try following this: Settings > General > Cellular > Setup Personal Hotspot
Step 1: On your iPhone, tap Settings, then General. You should see Personal Hotspot in the list just as in the image below. It looks very similar if your phone is running iOS 5. If you can't see it, you should call your mobile provider to find out why. It may be that you can add tethering for an extra fee.
Step 2: Tap Personal Hotspot and you'll see a screen button to switch ON/OFF. It's simply a case of sliding the switch to ON and making a note of the network name (the name of your iPhone) and the Wi-Fi password.
Step 3: On your tablet or laptop, make sure Wi-Fi is enabled and search for wireless networks. Select the one that matches your phone's name (in this example, Wi-Fi iPhone) and then enter the password.
Once you're connected, you can browse the internet, download files, stream video and more. Be careful, though, as you can quickly eat up your monthly data allowance.
- Will you be able to use the iphone 5 with straight talk from walmart? I heard you can do it with a sim card is that true? If so where can i get a walmart sim card? Do i get it from the store or online? Yes you can put a sim card in it. I have one in my iphone 4s but i don't know if it is on the iphone 5 and if i buy the iphone 5 from at&t i shouldent have to unlock it right? Thats how the 4s works. If its at&t it doesn't need unlocking
- Will i still be able to use my iphone in another country without jailbreaking? I bought my iphone4 in japan since i was living there for sometime. But I've moved to a different country now. And I want to use the network provided.i'm still using ios4 and i feel like my iphone has been a lot more slower than it used to. Some tell me that in order to use it in a different country i need to jailbreak it but i want to update it to ios5. Will i still be able to use it if I update it to ios5?
- When will I be able to use my Iphone? I'm getting a second hand iphone and i had the sim from my blackberry 9320 cut down to the iphone 4s size and apparently you have to unlock it or something and my dad is going to do that today do you think i will be able to go on it today?
- Unlocked iPhone 4/4s still able to use with AT&T? My uncle has an old iPhone 4/4s (I don't remember which one) and it's an unlocked phone. Let's say he gives it to me and I have AT&T. Though it's unlocked, can I still use it with AT&T and update the phone's iOS regularly? Because I know that if you have an unlocked phone for let's say, T-Mobile, you can't update because that'll mess up your jailbreaking stuff.
