A co-worker said that AT&T offers a way to use your iPhone tethered to your laptop as a way to extend internet connectivity to your laptop when on the road. He said this service can be purchased on a month-to-month basis. Where can I find out more and or purchase this service?

I tether my iPhone to laptop and use hotspot via USB. But there is an option under iPhone hotspot to connect wirelessly. Why can I get mine to connect USB but not wirelessly with hotspot?
Do you have an iPhone 4? I think only the 4 allows WiFi hotspot connectivity.

We also have an HTC Aria that we use as a modem, or tether. We can turn in the Aria's wifi hotspot and my iPhone connects to it without any problems.

First, on the iPhone (4) turn "Personal hotspot" on, it'll show you what the network's name is and password, you can change them at that time. Then on your computer, open your wi-fi manager, find iPhone's network name and connect.
