Mobile Hotspot
This feature allows you to turn your device into a Wi-Fi
hotspot. The feature works best when used in conjunction
with 4G/LTE data services (although 3G service can also be
used).
You can use Mobile Hotspot to share your phone’s Internet
connection with multiple devices.
Note:
Mobile Hotspot requires a subscription to Mobile
Hotspot/Mobile Broadband Connect service. Contact
Verizon Wireless for more information. Mobile Hotspot
consumes battery power and uses data service. While
the Mobile Hotspot is active, your device’s applications
will use the Mobile Hotspot data allowance.
