using phone bluetooth to get internet on tablet
Just got a new tablet that has bluetooth, as does my phone. Is there a way to pair these up to get internet when I don't have wifi access?

Re: using phone bluetooth to get internet on tablet
I am sure there must be... However I am not techno-savy enough to help you out... Sorry...
My primary reason for replying to this is because I know it is easy to go over on a data package that way... I found out the hard way by pairing my laptop to my cell phone once... Just didn't want you to experience my same mistake... |

Re: using phone bluetooth to get internet on tablet
what type of phone do you have? I have an android phone and i use "foxfi" to turn my phone into a wifi hotspot. I have used it for my playstation 3, my laptop, and my wife's laptop. There is no requirement to root your phone to use foxfi either.
EDIT: I second the data package issue. I have unlimited data, but I track my usage each month. When I tethered my phone to my playstation (for netflix), and my wife was using her computer, the data usage went WAY up.

My iPad is WiFi only but I could use my iPhone as a hotspot if I wanted to. But that would chew up my data plan quickly.
Rarely do I need Internet access when wireless is not available. And if I do, I just use my phone.

Re: using phone bluetooth to get internet on tablet
I would only use this a few times a year when I visit my outlaws who have no internet. I have used my phone- a Consumer Cellular model- but it really is small! I would love to be able to somehow use that connection to mainly read my emails on a bigger screen. I dunno if going on the internet on the phone and being connected via bluetooth would allow me to use the tablet as well.

I recommend looking into the NetZero wireless hotspot plans. Very reasonable and you dont have to deal with the expensive cell data plans
