Use iphone to coneect a laptop to the internet

Is it possible to use iphone to connect a laptop to the internet?
In other words is it possible to use the iphone as an access point?

Just an update about cost (really triggered by another interrelated post “Transfer files to iphone over usb (no wifi) then mail them...”)
In Greece Vodafone allows data exchange from tethering as part of the main data package which you get if you want with a subscription. There are various packages, currently one for 500MB extended to 1GB for the 1st year costs around 5€. That's actually added to the main phone package, so for about 40-50€ / month you have about 3 hours talk time + the 500MB/1GB data.
Don’t know whether you consider that as expensive or not.
Actually, before discovering tethering I never went beyond the 200MB in a month without considering the extent of internet usage. Tethering won’t really make any difference in the data exchange volume since my intention is to use it in emergency situations anyway.

Using iPhone to connect my MacBook to the internet.

Any ideas on how I can use my iPhone to connect my MacBook to the internet?

Hi RonAnnArbor,
Why not just tell people the truth and let them be responsible for their own actions. You cannot seriously expect us to believe that you are this ridiculously naive. Let's suppose that you are in a geographic/physical location that does not have free, or pay WiFi. But, to get the customer up and running you need a real machine with real apps to do some work. This, opposed to just playing on the net with the iPhone. Real work, not reading emails and showing your technically challenged friend how your blog looks on the phone... Instead of that, you are looking at stuff that is technical, contains a great deal of information, or contains a great deal of formatting. Could you not see that it would be easier to work with this type information not just from a readability standpoint, but a usability standpoint on something with a larger display?
I digress. Anyway there is no way to connect your MacBook Pro to the net because there is no connection available and you are in the middle of no where, but your iPhone is in your holster and has a freakin' marvelously strong signal. So, you have this iPhone in your pocket right next to your xxxx and it is doing nothing but playing your favorite music.
Hmm, interesting "You have an Unlimited Data Plan with AT&T" why not use it to create your own WiFi hotspot with your iPhone and allow your MacBook Pro, Windows PC, whatever to share the phone's data connection so that these and other devices can connect to the net via the iPhone? So you still don't see the advantage?
That is an awesome feature and makes it so you can connect with anything, anywhere using your iPhone. Talk about a new marketing angle. Your iPhone is now your ISP. The iPhone would be acting as, well, a modem if that helps you bring the aforementioned post full circle.

Hi, just need to know how to get my music, video, pictures and apps form my iPhone to my new laptop as the old computer, which I used before was stolen. I only have my phone left and if I try to conect it to my new laptop it's trying to delete everything.

I currently use a mifi device to connect my laptops to the internet, can I use the iphone 5c as an internet access point for them

Can the iphone 5c be used as a router to connect my laptop to the internet???

Yes, but it depends on what plan you have.
What plan name do you have as stated on your bill. If it says More Everything, the hotspot functionality is already included.

Unfortunatly the only way that you can get it off is to get the old user to input the password. You may need to contact that old user and see if he can put the old password in. hope this helps.

Please suggest a solution or @Apple please get a software release which can remove this bug .

We aren't Apple, just users like you. Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Can my photoshop subscription be used on more than one laptop at the same address

You can install on two computers for your own personal use; but not for use at the same time, and not for sharing with colleagues or family.

Where did you purchase this. The US phones do not come with the SIM removal tool anymore. They haven't for some time now. I'm not even sure it comes with any of the devices anymore. You can just straighten out a paper clip and do the same thing.
