Sharing an Internet Connection

You can use iPhone to share an Internet connection for a computer connected to

iPhone via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB. On GSM models this is called tethering; on a CDMA

model this is called personal hotspot. On a CDMA model, you can also share an Internet

connection for an iPod, iPad, and even other iPhones connected to iPhone via Wi-Fi.

Note: Internet sharing may not be available in all countries or regions. Additional fees

may apply. Contact your carrier for more information.

You need to set up Internet sharing with your carrier before it can be used. If you

haven’t done this, the Set Up Internet Tethering button appears in your Network

settings in place of the Internet Tethering or Personal Hotspot button. Tap Set Up

Internet Tethering to contact your carrier.

Internet sharing works over the cellular data network. You can’t use Internet sharing

if iPhone is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi. If iPhone is connected to the cellular

data network via 3G, you can make and receive phone calls while sharing an Internet

connection (GSM models only).

Share an Internet connection:

1 In Settings, choose General > Network > Internet Tethering (GSM models) or Personal

Hotspot (CDMA model).

2 Turn on Internet Tethering or Personal Hotspot.

3 Connect a computer or other device to iPhone:

 Wi-Fi: On the device, choose the name of your iPhone from the list of available Wi-Fi

networks, then enter the Wi-Fi password for your iPhone when prompted.
