Have unlimited data, want wifi only pad2....wondering how many of you have jail broken your iphone to tether....pros/cons?
 
That's the only reason why I bought a wifi iPad 2.

Pro's - you don't need another data plan, so it's cheaper. Plus you usually always have your phone with you anyways.

Con's - drains iPhone battery, AT&T could get mad and send you a letter to cease and desist your tethering OR else.
 
If I don't use an inordinate amount of data via tethering how would ATT know?
I just want it for trips in the car for my son to surf with; have some fun. No heavy streaming I suspect.
thanks, for fast reply and input.
 
Didn't jailbreak however I did root :) why pay twice for the same thing. You don't pay your home ISP for every device you connect to the Internet, why should we have to for cellular service?
