Yesterday iDevice.ro was the first site/blog in Romania that announced the free offer of the internet tethering/Personal HotSpot option(even before the announcement is published on the Orange website) for Orange subscribers. I also saw that among you there were some people who did not understand "what to eat" these 2 options, so I will clarify things a little today. Internet tethering is an option from Apple that allows us to share the Internet from our iPhone with a computer. By connecting an iPhone to a computer/laptop and activating Internet tethering via USB, we will be able to access the Internet from the computer/laptop using the data connection of that iPhone.
Personal HotSpot is a new function implemented in iOS 4.3 by Apple that allows us to turn our iPhone into a Wi-Fi HotSpot through which we can share the terminal's Internet connection. By making a Wi-Fi HotSpot we will be able to connect any computer/laptop (with built-in wireless network card), any iDevice or any phone/smartphone that has the Wi-Fi function. As soon as we connect to the Wi-Fi HotSpot made by the iPhone, we will be able to surf the Internet using the Internet connection of our iPhone.
What Orange offers us starting yesterday has nothing to do with the data traffic included in the subscription, it represents the possibility to surf the Internet without traffic limits/etc. The data traffic carried out is charged the same as the traffic carried out on the phone and if the subscription includes data traffic, this is also valid when you browse from a computer.
