    A Personal Hotspot allows another device to share Internet access via cell coverage when out of wifi range. Different protocols are available depending the devices' types, models and OS versions. Using a Personal Hotspot is redundant when both have access to wifi.

    You mean it depends on the network i am using? We bought my ipad in hongkong and i am currently using it here in philippines. My mom also is using ipad but she is living in Hong Kong and her ipad has a personal hotspot on her setting. Do you think its her network that proides her personal hotspot? I am really confuse and you guys would be a big help

    It depends on your cell data provider.
