I was in Hilo Verizon store yesterday getting the new iPhone and found out some interesting info. They have new "share" plans if you have an iPad and a smartphone or a couple of smart phones the new plan is less expensive and gives you unlimited text and talk minutes. You sign up for plans depending on how many gigs you will use per month.
The thing that seems really great is to be able to use the iPhone as a "personal hotspot".
You go to settings on your iPhone and under usage is option for the phone to become hotspot for your computer. So, it seems I can drop my Internet service and use my iPhone personal hotspot to get Internet connection for my laptop and desktop computers. This would really be a savings. You can use it with your older iPads that only run on wiFi too.
Has anyone done this? I would love to let go of the monthly Internet bill if this really works.
This is Puna related because I specifically want to know if anyone in Puna has used this new iPhone personal hotspot successfully in Puna area. Thanks much
