If you own an Android phone you can use it to create a wifi hotspot

Clear would be a better option IMO. Cheaper, faster, and no data cap

You can do it with Iphone as well

True but it is my understanding to do with an iphone one has to jailbreak it first

Only if you want to do it for free.

Settings>general>network>personal hotspot

Of course iPhone is only 3G compared to the Jetpack and most droid devices. Until fall anyway.

just so you know it cost $20 a month to add the hotspot to your iPhone. You get 2 gigs that does not count towards your data

Its the same thing with Android. To add tethering capabilities, you will have to pay for it

Unless you root or jailbreak.

see how long that last you. Only speaking from experience with AT&T, they are cracking down and they know when you are tethering when you arent paying for it.

I'm on Verizon. I don't use it much but opened the option if I need it.

Foxfi generally works well on Motorola and Samsung android devices. Free in the market and allows you to run wifi tethering.

Verizon doesn't seem to care about it yet. Close friend of mine has run up 20+gigs each of the last 3 months. Not a word yet from Verizon. It's his only internet source now and he runs his main PC off tethering most every day. It's 3G that he's using. LTE ends a couple miles short of his house.
