I suppose that Mr. Jobs, before abandon this life, forgot to update hardware of iPad2 internal modem, to be able hotspot function on this version of iPad ... and so present to Apple a lot of money selling new iPad that clients must substituted if want this feature ...!!!! please all, go to Android if you can!

If Apple is a serious Company, it must recall back these iPad2 version, and resolve problem without cost to the clients, proceeding on substitution.

Regards to all.

Verify that your carrier supports Personal Hotspot for your device and that you have Personal Hotspot enabled on your cellular plan:

Hi all,


and thanks for quickly answer.


I have an IPAD 2 and in the main menu I can't find the Menu "Personal Hotspot"


I am sure that my SIM support the hotspot option.


In internet I found that "Personal Hotpost" is enable only starting from IPAD 3.


There is someone who have an IPAD 2 and use is as hotspot.


I haven't iphone or another apple device...only IPAD 2


Thanks

From table below you see that hotspot is enable only from IPAD 3..


I can't believe that is impossible with IPAD 2 ;

I Spent 500 $ (very poor android support this feature)


Could apple create an app or an IOS update to enable this feature also in IPAD 2??


System requirements

The table below lists the iPhone and iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular models) capable of Personal Hotspot and which connections they can use to share cellular data with another device:

iPhone 3G*✓✓
iPhone 3GS✓✓
iPhone 4 or later✓✓✓
iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular✓✓✓
* On iPhone 3G, Personal Hotspot is referred to as Internet tethering.

I just want to make sure I understand this - if I enable personal hotspot on my iPhone 4 thru my carrier (a t & t), it is NOT possible to setup my iPad 4 wifi only to use this personal hotspot to gain Internet access while I am away from my home?


I do not like public wifi so I was hoping that it was possible to use my iPhone as a means of Internet connecting away from home. Otherwise, if you already have an iPad with cellular, why would you need to pay for a personal hotspot for your iPhone.
