This may not be news to some of you but it was to me.
Now AT&T allows you to put your iPads on your cellular plan. |

Is it possible to use the IPad as a hotspot? :sorry for the hijack OP No Correct. Use your phone as the hotspot and tether the iPad to your data stream. I don't see the point in paying extra money for a 3G iPad because, as it was explained to me, you are charged a flat fee anytime you use the service with the iPad equivalent to a monthly charge whether you use the iPad again during that period or not. I would rather - if lifestyle demanded it - pay for the hot spot AT&T plan and just tether the iPad when I needed to. |

I have my iPad jailbroken and use the PDANet app from Cydia. Works like a charm, and I have seen download speeds in excess of 40 mbps down, and over 20mbps up with it. And this was on AT&T !! |

I am with Verizon though, I don't know if AT&T will let you. |

It is permissible on the new shared data plans, and it can be enabled on a Jailbroken iPad using one of the apps available from Cydia, such as MiWi, or my favorite, PDANet. This use is in violation of their Terms Of Service, but works well, and I have never had any issues using it. |

Nothing else on the account. $30 bucks a month for 2g and I have a hotspot.
