Tether iphone 4s

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am tearing my hair out, all I want to do is tether my iphone 4s to a laptop.

I am on pay and go, but will change if need be.

I have No tether/hotspot or any other menu on any screen or menu.

ios 5, (have had bad reviews about ios 6).

If i upgrade to monthly tether bolt on will it automatically create a menu button to

my iphone.

I am seriously considering a change.

Thanks...

Hi  I've been told that if you are using latest software then the 'Personal Hot Spot', is wiped out on any iPhone less than a 5 and cannot be re-instated.  My son has Iphone 4 and he can tether to my iPad, on my Iphone 4 that has latest software on there is no 'Personal Hotspot'.  I was given this information by O2 shop when I took my phone in and asked what I needed to do to tether to Ipad..  one way of selling iPhone 5

Have just read some of the other responses and it does not matter if you are on contract the tethering feature is only available on Iphone 5 if you are using the latest software.
