Tethering your iPad to your smartphone
Setting up a Microsoft Exchange account
This chapter is all about connecting, whether you’re connecting to the Internet via Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G (with a third-generation iPad) or connecting to your company network. Apple has made an effort over the years with iPhone to support enterprises, meaning that you can use the phone to connect with your company network and vital work data.
