iPhones with iOS 4.3 and up can turn into wireless routers in a matter of minutes, allowing you to connect your computer, iPod, or other Internet-compatible devices to the phone’s wireless connection. Under General Settings, look for Network, then tap Set Up Personal Hotspot.
If this is your first time doing so, a message will pop up that reads “To enable Personal Hotspot on this account, contact AT&T at 611 or visit http://www.att.com/mywireless.” (Of course, Verizon and Sprint customers will see a different message.) If your phone plan has tethering capabilities, there should be no problem setting up your Hotspot. However, it certainly doesn’t come free of charge. AT&T and Verizon customers can expect to pay an extra $20 per month for 2 GB of Hotspot data.IPhone users interested in setting up their phone as a Personal Hotspot will be directed to their provider's website or phone number, where they can upgrade their account.
