I've been searching different ways to do this most of the day, if I didn't have a crew cut I'd be able to pull my hair out :ugone2far: I'm I.T. challenged! Tried tethering to my "employer provided" cell phone (many times) and kept getting a msg. saying blaa,blaa, contact AT&T. Then I discovered these apps "Portable WiFi Hotspot" "Foxfi" "PdaNet+FoxFi" and couldn't get them to work either. I then discovered some laptops come with a simcard slot ready for mobile broadband ,googled the hell out of that then chatted with Dell for an hour to eventually find out mine didn't come with it & it would cost $150+ to get it through them. Uncle,Uncle! I give up! lol I'm back to either buying a Virgin Mobile Aircard http://www.walmart.com/ip/Virgin-U600-3G-4G-Franklin-USB-Stick/21082067 with pay as you go plan or Freedompop Hotspot which gives you 500mb free every month. Thanks for y'alls input!
