Ask Tii - Questions about PDAnet

Hi Rob,

I have installed MyWi tethering primarily for other iOS devices and am generally pleased with it's options and performance. Recent concern with this products detectability by ATT forced me to look into PdaNet. This alternative tethering product appears to require jailbreaking of not only the host but the client as well. Is that correct? If so, I guess I will remain where I am and hope MyWi fixes their stealthiness issue. 

If only ATT allowed tethering for free and charged For usage above 4GBs per months. Let's pencil that out - a few tethered users at $15 bucks each versus nearly all users tethered and consuming data for which they would pay for excess use... Hmm, I bet they would make more than they are now.

Regards,

Jeff B

 

 

Hi Jeff,

PDAnet does not require anything different set up wise than MyWi.  My other iPhones and iPad's could connect to my iPhone 4 fine when it was set up as a wifi hot spot. 

Actually to use it to tether via wifi to your lap top is really simple.  Just open PDAnet and make sure hide data is selected - then turn on Wifi Tethering and select activate.  Then go and find the wifi hot spot on your lap top.  This email is being sent from my laptop while tethering with PDAnet and traveling on the Long Island railroad.
