How to use your iPhone's portable Wi-Fi hotspot without a specific data plan?
I have 16gb iPhone 4S through AT&T and i want to know how to activate the portatble Wi-Fi hotspot. I have 2GB a month data plan for it. On my old phone a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, i was not able to activate it because my data plan did not allow it. I then rooted my phone, and it worked just fine i was able to provide Wi-Fi to my laptop from my phone. When i try to turn it on, on my iPhone 4S, it says that my data plan does not allow this? Would i have to jailbreak it to use it? Or is there an app i can download to let me use it? Like i said in order to use it on my old phone i had to root it which is like jail breaking for android. I would prefer to download an app and not jailbreak my phone, but if i have to jail break it, how do i do it? Please and thank you?

- What does having mobile hotspot on a shared data plan mean? I really want to get either the Samsung Galaxy S III or iPhone 5 on either AT&T or Verizon. I noticed that when you get a Mobile Share/Share Everything plan, the hotspot feature is free. Does using it still come out of your data amount, or is it unlimited?
- Is my data plan being more used up when i turn on my Wi-Fi hotspot? I wanted to use my computer in my car to download music while i was waiting for my boyfriend to get out of work. But i won't have Wi-Fi in my car. So i was thinking about just turning on my Wi-Fi hotspot on my iphone 5. If i do that will that use a lot of my data plan?
- If I use personal hotspot on iPhone, will it use my Wi-Fi or data plan? There are 2 computers in my house. One of them won't connect to the router. So I figure while my iPhone has Wi-Fi access, I can turn on personal hotspot and make the computer connect to the iPhones personal hotspot
- If I use my iPhone as a hotspot, will it charge me extra on my sharing plan with Verizon? I'm mainly asking to see so we can get rid of our internet maybe and use our IPhone's. However, will it affect our bills with Verizon? Please help and if you need more details I will add updates to this!
