This cracks me up, too. Um, no, it doesn't? It really doesn't. I think 3G iPad owners just want to make themselves feel better about paying more.
Screw At&T. When I picked up my WiFi iPad, I also bought a MiFi from Verizon, and I love it. I can connect ANY 5 devices to it at one time, it's very small and easy to carry, it connects to my iMaxPower 5000 mAh battery backup so it can run all day, and best of all, it doesn't use AT&T.
MiWi looks decent, but $60 a month is really steep, considering I'm already paying for an iPhone data plan and home internet access as well. 250 MB is more reasonable ($40) but wouldn't last anywhere close to a month with an iPad.
I got my ipad in the mail today after 4 long days of waiting. I'm going to jailbreak for tethering. Does anyone know if the iPhone has to be jailbroken?
This.
I ordered my 16G yesterday and putting up my 16W for sale soon.
MyWi is relegated to backup duty as I've decided I prefer to keep battery available for phone usage.
Well of course its not an issue if you're near a charger...but maybe I use tethering differently to you, as generally when Im near a plug socket / charger Im also near an internet connection so don't need to tether.
I use tethering when Im out and about with my Laptop / iPad where there is NO physical internet connection - and no charger.
...and like I said, it HAMMERS the battery. (less than) 1/4 battery for 1 hour of internet definitely comes under hammering battery in my opinion.
Oh! Do you have to pay for this feature? I thought once you had jailbroken it would be free? $60pm?!!
Am I misunderstanding miwy and miwi?
HiRez either has a very, poorly worded sentence or doesn't know what he is talking about.
MyWi costs $9.99 to purchase. There's no 'feature to buy' nor any monthly charges for it.
I think the $60/month number is what ATT charges for tethering on an iPhone.
For less than 1 month tethering charges, you can buy an iMax 500 mah external battery for your iPhone and buy MyWi.
This is painful to read. Do a little research folks, just blindly posting for help is like asking your Mom to make you lunch, grow up.
All of these questions have been asked and answered a million times on this and other internet sites.
I am NOT a troll, really.

Hay Newbie if I've told you once I have told you a billion times, don't exaggerate, it's painful and as someone who pays towards this site it's my privilege not to have to search.
Rock is basically another app store like cydia..
I've seen numerous people say that the no rock version is better/more stable.
I personally didnt notice a difference but I just didn't want rock on my phone.
To get the no rock version I believe you have to buy MyWi. The way I did it:
.Get trial of MyWi (comes with rock)
.purchase MyWi
.remove rock (also will remove MyWi)
.go to cydia, download MyWi no rock
.done
You are confused.
Two different things.
MyWi = $10 one time
MiFi = $60 per month for duration of contract
AH, sorry about that, I didn't realize MyWi and MiFi were different, but come on...it is kind of confusing.
