neil · Oct 11, 2011

Im not very good with all this, so i need some help please. Im currently working somewhere where i have no internet on my laptop. Im trying to use my phone as a modem, but cant seem to get it right. I know im suppose to set up a personal hotspot. I am running ios4.3.3 and have jailbroken my phone. For some reason i dont have the option of setting up a personal hotspot under settings. Can anyone please help me to do this or help me to use my phone as a modem.
Thanx!

You can download mywifi on Cydia or other repository to activate the personal hotspot.

Don't use mywi. Use tether me ($4.99) in Cydia. Less detection.

When you say less detection what do you mean by this?

TetherMe enables native tethering whereas MyWi makes you tether through a 3rd party application so TetherMe is less detectable by carriers. A lot of MyWi users have been receiving text messages from their providers that their accounts will be forcibly switched to a tethering plan.

Good to know thanks. For I fear that should I get such a message I would be forcibly switching to another carrier.
