Tethering or Mobile Hotspot

Use Tethering or Mobile hotspot to convert the smartphone into a combination of modem and wireless router, if there is no available Wi-Fi network. A computer and any other device connected to the smartphone can access the Internet via the regular mobile service.

Note

If the smartphone is using regular mobile service to access the internet, significant data use charges may occur.

Mobile hotspot: On a device, choose the smartphone’s network from the list of available Wi-Fi networks.

Bluetooth tethering: Pair a Bluetooth device with the smartphone.
