Help Maybe a stupid question but i need to know??

[Roddy]

I'm sorry if this may sounds "ignorant" but I need to know if I can tether from my cell phone to my tablet? If so, what app would do this?

thanks in advance

Yes, but your cell phone if Android would need to be rooted 1st. You could then run a app on your phone like Wifi Tether:

android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users - Google Project Hosting

FoxFi does not require root, and works well.

Android phones don't need rooting, they have wifi hotspot functions built in automatically. You don't need an app, just turn it on in settings.

Check your data plan includes tethering though, not all of them do.

sorry, I guess I should have reworded my question. I'm aware of the mobile hotspot. However, that's a 20$ that I don't want to spend if possible. I tried to use FoxFi, however, it's blocked on the Sprint network. I guess there isn't any other options.

There is a way to do almost anything if you are technically inclined, but if you are not then i would suggest you cough up the extra money. If you root your phone you do not have to pay more, but if u are not very knowledgeable about computers I would avoid this.

I use the bluetooth tether from my tf300 to my droid dx2. Just pair them like any other bt device. No extra charges.

I have my phone rooted with a WiFi Tether program. the tablet connects fine in the car while driving.
