Assuming that you have a data plan, simply go to "settings" on your phone and click on "personal hotspot." You'll see the ON/OFF selector. Note that when you set it up the first time, you will set a password for the hotspot. Then when you connect to the hotspot with another device (laptop, tablet, etc.) you will locate the hotspot in the list of available networks and enter the password that you set. (The password is to keep others from "borrowing" your hotspot. )

So to use the hotspot, first turn it on via the iPhone settings menu. Then go to your laptop or tablet and locate available networks....you should see your iPhone in the list. When you select the hotspot to connect, simply enter the password and you should be good to go.

Note that you must have a data plan with the personal hotspot feature enabled. On Verizon some plans have it and others do not. I believe a minimum of 4gb/month is required on Verizon.

Our Verizon "share everything" plan is 2GB. If we exceed that, it's $10 for each additional GB.
