I actually got an ipad2 about a year ago. It has 3G capability as well. Anytime I'm at home, I just use my home wifi so as to not use my limited 3G. I have a contract with AT&T that is $25 a month for 2 gb. If I go over 2gb, it's an additional $10 for every additional gb.
Not sure why but just now looked into tethering using my cell phone as a hot spot. I have a samsung galaxy s3. Surprisingly it only took me about 10 minutes on google to figure out how to do it and am posting this on my iPad via my cell phones hot spot. FYI, my cell phone data plan has unlimited data except that it only allows for 30 minutes of video streaming.
I guess my ultimate question is this: since I always have my phone around, is there any reason in the world to continue my 3G iPad data plan with AT&T? Any drawbacks or limitations to tethering?
