I would like to set up a hot spot with my new iPad but can't figure out how to do that. I cannot log on to the suggested web site and, of course, I can't dial 611 from my iPad.
Do you have a personal hotspot plan set up with your cell provider?
That is exactly what I am seeking help to do!
You have to contact your cell provider to do that.

How do I do that? I cannot dial 611 from the iPadand I cannot log on to the site suggested.
I have no idea where you are and who your cell provider is. How do you contact them if there is a problem with your bill or you want to adjust your services?

You cannot set up a hotspot on the iPad with AT&T unless you have a shared device plan with them.
Good pointer. It lead me to a phonenumber to call and a real person who said she could help set up my personal hot spot. After that things too a turn for the worse. She could not set up the hot spot without cancelling my grandfathered unlimited data plan. She said I had to cancel that and buy a $50/mo 5Gig plan. I told her that is not what the AT&T wireless iPad support web site said. She wouldn't budge and I wouldn't cave in and accept a new plan - so - I did not get a hot spot, but I get to keep my unlimited $30/mo data plan.
End of discussion for now. I'm going to try to find a basis for an appeal. Wish me luck. If I succeed, I'll post here. If not, thanks to the members of this support community for your assistance.

You're not going to find one. AT&T will not permit tethering except with the new tiered data plans. End of story.
How can I set up a hot spot on my new iPad. I can't call 611 as suggested.
