For all of those out seeking some mobile hotspot action on their iPhone 4, we got what you need to make that happen and avoid that $20 monthly fee as well (it will, however, cost you a one-time fee of $20). Of course in order to make this happen, your iPhone needs to be jailbroken first and foremost. But don’t worry if it isn’t already, we’re here to help.
- First, you need to jailbreak your iPhone.
- Second, download the MyWi app from the Cydia store (which you’ll find on your jailbroken iPhone). You may have to search for it, but chances are you’ll just see it advertised on the Cydia front page. To buy it, you’ll need to authorize your account through Google or Facebook and Amazon or Paypal. Once you’ve purchased MyWi, click the install button in Cydia and it’ll install it on your iPhone.
- Finally, launch MyWi application from your iPhone’s home screen and click the Wi-Fi button up top (the second button from the left). All you have to do is flip the “WiFi Hotspot” toggle and you’re ready to connect any other device via Wi-Fi.
This will work for either AT&T or Verizon iPhone and you should enable your WEP security after doing so. It does pay to have an unlimited or hefty data plan so you won’t get hit with overage charges.
