iPhone 4 WiFi
So how does this internet access over your iPhone WiFi work? The Verizon
web site is about as clear as ****. So does that mean I can access the internet with my laptop wirelessly through the iPhone? I can use it exclusively for my internet service? |

Sounds like you're referring to tethering, where the iPhone (or other capable device) connects to the Internet via cell tower signal, but instead of using the TCP/IP datastream for itself, simply passes it on (usually via Bluetooth) to the laptop. I suppose tethering could work also when there is WiFi available, but it would probably be pointless: your laptop almost certainly has a WiFi device in it. As for exclusive internet use. AT&T charges quite a bit extra for tethering unless you've jailbroken the iPhone. Verizon will have their own rules and fees, you'll have to ask what they are. I know from experience that AT&T 3G data service isn't nearly as fast as a broadband Internet connection, but don't know how Verizon's data service is. -- Rules of Optimization: Rule 1: Don't do it. Rule 2 (for experts only): Don't do it yet. M.A. Jackson |
