Using iphone as modem

I have Verizon Iphone 4. I am trying to use my phone 3G connection with my laptop in an area w/o wi-fi.
There must be a way to do this?
Any help is appreciated.

You would have to have tethering set up through Verizon.

Using iPhone as Modem via bluetooth within Win XP

can any one help me configurating my PC settings getting iPhone working as Modem via Bluetooth within WinXP ...

Does your XP computer support Bluetooth? Are you using a carrier that supports tethering (AT&T doesn't, for example)? If both of these questions were answered in the affirmative, you should be able to connect your iPhone to your PC either under Settings or in the "Add Bluetooth Device Wizard" on your computer. Also, ensure that tethering is enabled in your Settings app.

Problems in using iPhone as modem

I have Iphone5 just updated to 6.1.2 and Macbook 10.7.5 with Itunes 11.02. I have used my Iphone as modem many years and I know how to use it.
Now after updating 6.1.2 I have lost Iphone-Usb in network connections and it is not possible to add it. There is only wifi, firewire, mbbethernet and ethernet.
In Iphone hotspot is of course in use and i renewed usb lightning cord. I habe tried the way to rename network**.plist files but with no results. Ihave updated 6.1.2 now three times. Ihave no problems when I use Macbook with huawei modem, and also my Iphone is working very well. So problem is only when I try to use it as modem to my Macbook. What I have to do now?

Yes. Now called Personal Hotspot.

How to use iPhone as modem for Airport Extreme?

My modem is kinda dead, but still I need to keep the network running.
Is there any way to use an iPhone as modem for Airport?
Heeeeelp!

Is there any way to use an iPhone as modem for Airport?
To do this, the iPhone would need to provide a wired Ethernet signal to the AirPort Extreme. Even if this might be possible, it would require some major....and likely unsupported surgery.
Suggest that you post in the iPhone support area for questions about the iPhone.

There is no solution until AT&T implements internet tethering, that's why you don't have any tethering settings.

Using iphone as a modem for your home PC

I currently have a motorola slvr that I use as a modem on my home computer by connecting with the usb cable. It's the only way I can get internet at home right now.
Has anyone tried this with the iphone? I want to buy one in the next few weeks, but this may sway my decision.
Thanks!!

This is not an option for the iphone at this point.

Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

Update printer with the latest firmware. They need the latest firmware to Airprint.

If you are trying to connect via wifi to our iPhone then the password should be displayed on your phone when you go into Personal Hotspot, by default it is a random password set by the phone but you can change it there.

Can I use iphone as external USB analog modem for dialing into switches?

Can I use iphone as external USB analog modem for accessing data switches?
I want to use hyperterminal but don't have a land line to use and wanted to use my iphone as my hard land line..this isn't for tethering for internet access...make sense?

apple store sale guy said this set up will work but it did not. just bought my TC last monday.

What's the reason for this message, "A server with the specified host name could not be found" ? I'm using iPhone 4s, 16gB, iOS 7.0.4

I get a pop-up message saying "A server with the specified host name could not be found", whenever I try to access any streaming websites/apps or even WhatApp over Wi-Fi and I cannot access the specific THING for that moment, and I've tried switching Wi-Fi On and Off both in my Phone and also in the Router. I got an internet connection and a Wi-Fi router just before two days, and it's happening since. I got the internet speed around 80kbps and i can easily stream YouTube videos except sometimes, I receive that annoying message. I can't even browse the internet in Safari, which says "No Internet Connection"(Even though the Wi-Fi is connected), and I can access it after somewhile (say 10 minutes, it'll be perfectly alright). I use iPhone 4s. And everything about the internet connection is totally fine in my Computer, but not in my iPhone, as I've explained the issues, above. If there are any technical settings that I should change/modify, either on my computer(Windows 7 OS) or in my iPhone(iOS 7.0.4), PLEASE let me know
I hope I've provided enough information for the reader to understand my point. (I apologize for my verbal mistakes, if there are )
THANKS

Hello Paneesh,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 4s. I recommend the following steps:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the issue is still unresolved Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

Using iPhone to connect pda to Edge via Bluetooth

Any guidance on using the iPhone as a modem to connect to Edge for pda / computer ? I had this hooked up with my previous cellphone (Sony K790a) since I already had an edge account. Until Apple comes up with ActiveSync, I would like to continue to use this for Calendar / Exchange email.
For the Sony, I found all the settings easily on the web, but I don't see anything for iPhone . . . am I missing something ?
Thanks.

This is called tethering, and you'll have to check if your carrier supports this feature.
