• Check that you're connected to the mobile network. If The Mobile network signal icon appears in the upper-right
corner of the home screen, then the mobile network is on and connected.
• Check that your wireless service plan is set up to use Mobile Hotspot mode. If not, you need to change your service plan
before Mobile Hotspot mode can work on your BlackBerry device.
• Your wireless service provider might not allow the use of Mobile Hotspot mode while roaming. For more information,
check your service plan or contact your wireless service provider.

Connections > Mobile Network settings screen, check that the Data Services switch is on and the option in the Data
services while roaming drop-down list is set to On.
• If you're using your device for work, your organization might not allow the use of Mobile Hotspot mode. For more
information, check with your administrator.
I can't connect multiple devices to my mobile hotspot
Depending on your wireless service plan, you might not be able to connect multiple devices to your mobile hotspot, or the
number of devices you can connect might be less than eight.
Internet tethering
Internet tethering allows you to share your BlackBerry device's connection to the mobile network with one other device,
such as a laptop or tablet, so that you can access the Internet on your other device anywhere that your BlackBerry device
can connect to the mobile network. You can connect the device to your
BlackBerry device using a USB cable or, if both
devices are Bluetooth enabled, you can use Bluetooth technology instead.
Sharing your mobile network connection using Internet tethering
Additional charges might apply for using Internet tethering. On some networks you can't use some services on your
BlackBerry device, such as email and BlackBerry Messenger, while you use Internet tethering.
Use Internet tethering to share your Internet connection
