I have got my iPhone5 and iPad2 connected with Bluetooth

Hi all,


I have an iPhone5, and after several hours (days) reading e-mails, discussions, technical notes.....all the attemps to have my iphone5 paired with my iPad2 were unsuccesful....until tonight!!


I am going to describe my scenario:


My iPad2 is a WIFI device and I want to use the iPhone5 3G connection to access internet ( I was doing this with Iphone4). I prefer to use the bluetooth connection between the iPhone and iPad instead the WIFI. This is how I have got it:

1º.- Switch off WIFI on iPhone5

2º.- switch off WIFI on iPad

3º.- Switch on Bluetooth on iPhone5

4º.- Switch on Bluetooth on iPad

5º.- Switch on "Internet sharing".......on iPhone5.......selecting ONLY BLUETOOTH /USB


After this....my iPad discovered my iPhone5 (not paired) just one click to pair with the iPhone5, and a confirmation message in both devices.......Confirming in both devices......and working!


Hoping this was helpful.


Regards

Joaquin
