How can I use my iPhone to use internet on my iPad? My brother can do it on android for free, I have11 phones on my account! I cannot afford a data plan that is not unlimited? So is there a way to do it. Or do I just need to go to his provider? Plus my brand new iPad will now work its only wifi. I can't remember emailing signed it up with but I can all security questions! It used to work great on wifi now it has an activation lock! I can't get it to work again?? I need help, paying well over$1000 a month, and I can't even use my iPad?i am so mad! I have had too many problems! Please help or I need one that can.

We are customers, not ATT.   You need to understand the new business model all carriers are using.  No matter what, you buy your own phone.  Unless you're a klutz, insurance is not fianancially beneficial.   Buying full price phones from the carrier is for suckers.  I will never buy another phone direct from a carrier.  It's far cheaper to shop around.  That I couldn't write in the blog, but I still slipped in the information to plant the seed...

You can't AT&T doesn't allow it on it's unlimited plans. 

 

It's like a buffet, it's all you can eat but only one person (one device)...

Are you putting a SIM in the iPad or is your phone on CC and you are trying to hotspot through the phone?

The Unlimited Plus plan allows up to 10GB of tethering PER line. http://att.com/unlimited

 

Or you can put an unlimited hotspot on the plan instead of or in addition to a phone.
