I have a Verizon 4S and i want to tether to my iPad. Is it possible to do this for free without paying Verizon hotspot prices? Jailbreaking?
 
You can with jailbreaking but once they find out you are tethering they will change your datan plan to the tethering plan.
 
Tethering is such a scam. We should be able to use whatever we want on our data plan.

I can understand their concern with an unlimited plan, but the 2GB plans shouldn't cost anymore to tether. Data is data...

Though, at least AT&T gives you another 2GB now, so I guess it isn't as big of a deal.
 
Tethering uses your carrier's 3G/4G network. Would they really leave any loopholes open for free usage of that? I doubt it tbh.
 
I am pretty sure that I can use Tethering (not on Verizon), but can someone please explain to me how tethering WORKS on the iPhone? What do I type in APN and such? The same as my mobile network? And do I have to connect it to the device that I want to use the internet on? I am really confused..that was the only thing that worked better on my Android phone so far =P
