iPhone tethering to iPad 2

[NoIdea!]

Hi,

I was helped earlier on another thread to enable the personal hotspot on my iPhone. I have since managed to tether my iPhone 3G connection to my MacBook Pro but every time i try to do it with my wifi only iPad 2, a t-mobile (my iPhone carrier) message comes up saying:

'sorry but we can't give you the details of available or current Boosters at the moment'

I am on the top web n walk plan with them and I spoke to them on the phone and they couldn't understand why it wasn't working...

Does anyone know how this issue can be resolved? I would really like to make use of this feature.

Many thanks.

Personal HotSpot is only available on the iPhone 4 on iOS 4.3 (the ability to make your iPhone into a WiFi HotSpot).

Tethering is supported on the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 (the ability to share your internet connection of over BlueTooth or USB).

An iPhone can not share its internet connection to another iOS device over BlueTooth, only through Personal HotSpot.

Uh... Yes it can. AT&T's personal hotspot works over WiFi and Bluetooth from iPhone to iPad.

you are correct, when I tried to use it over bluetooth I forgot to enable the bluetooth on my phone, so that is why my iPad didn't recognize it.

actually tethering is no longer called that, it's just called personal hotspot now, the only difference is that the 3GS can only do bluetooth and USB but the iPhone 4 can do that and wifi.

Sorry, still a little confused....

I can do the personal hotspot on 3GS over bluetooth? If so, does anybody know why the t-mobile message comes up?

Thanks.
