Tethering on Unlimited Internet plan?

[kevinyork]

We will be getting the unlimited internet plan on our Eclipse cruise in 2 weeks time. It will only be a one device plan but it got me thinking. If we connect using my iPhone then use the phone as a personal hotspot couldn't we connect with our laptop or iPad to the iPhone and both be online at the same time?

You would think so, but no.

 

And thats a limitation of the iphone not the plan.

Not from an iPhone no

Personal hotspot only allows you to share a cellular data connection, not a wifi connection.

There's personal travel routers on Amazon from Hoo Too that'll let you share the single connection with multiple devices

I have to agree with the others. I tried it on my last cruise and was unable to do it with my IPhone.

 

There is a PC / Mac program called Connectify Hotspot that allow you to use your PC as a hotspot. I have used it at hotels and plan on trying it on my next cruise. If not I'm ok with switching back and forth between devices.

Thanks all. Thought it may be too good to be true.
