Personal Hotspot is the iPhone feature that turns the phone into a portable router or mobile hotspot for users of Apple iOS devices who don’t otherwise have access to Wi-Fi. This feature uses Bluetooth technology to establish connectivity. Bluetooth tethering is beneficial for its simplicity and its capacity to act as a hotspot for at least two iOS devices. The drawbacks revolve around bandwidth and cost. Bandwidth generally runs between 1 to 4 megabits per second (Mbps) depending on the cellular network. This pales in comparison to the 30 Mbps you get using a Wi-Fi connection. Also, most cellular carriers consider tethering features as a separate plan. Despite the drawbacks, Bluetooth tethering remains a good option for those who need ready access while traveling. Tips Warnings Writer Bio
