I have both an iPhone 5 running ios 10 w/ netflix and an unlimited data plan. Is there a way I can tether my ipad to my iphone to watch movies on a bigger screen?

Tether? Why? Why not use your iPhone's hotspot feature?

AT&T has told me with an unlimited data plan that I'm not allowed to use the phone as a hotspot. If I can please tell me how to do it.

It specifically forbids such a discussion.

That doesn't mean you can't ask but as a moderator you know I have to follow the policies.

That out of the way, try googling this issue.
