Good thought, but no joy.
I was too focused on using the WiFi to consider using either USB or BlueTooth. Sadly, I have never been able to get USB to work for this, and for some reason the iPhone does not see the MBP on BT, even though both are set as Discoverable.
I did give it another try though, and as a bad workaround, I did not set the MBP to act as a WiFi network, as it would conflict with the Airport Extreme Base Station that I use a Ethernet & WiFi router, even though I don't have it connected to the internet.
So I unplugged the AEBS and the Personal Hotspot was able to connect to my MBP. I guess I might be able to plug in the AEBS as a Ethernet router again, if I have the MBP forget the AEBS WiFi.

Does it work by either of the *other* 2 standard methods of connection (USB and Bluetooth)? Does anything here help: <http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4517>
