IPhone as modem - Verizon Wireless

IPhone as a modem - Verizon Wireless Community:

• First, you must have paid for a plan (e.g. 2gb broadband/wifi data plan, $20/month). You can add the plan by calling 611 from your iPhone. You can can buy this on a month to month basis (I only buy it when I'm traveling).

• Then on your iPhone, go to Settings/General/Network/Personal Hotspot

• Once you turn this on, your laptop can recognize the iPhone as a wireless access point. Then just connect to the wireless network like you normally connect to wireless networks (ala Starbucks, etc.).
