Internet tethering
You can use Internet tethering when you have only one device that you want to connect to the Internet through your
device's mobile network connection. 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.
Mobile hotspot
You can use mobile hotspot mode to connect up to ten devices to your BlackBerry device. The number of devices that you
can connect depends on your device model. When you use the mobile hotspot feature, your device becomes a Wi-Fi
access point that other Wi-Fi enabled devices can connect to and use to access the Internet.
VPN connections
You can connect your device to a virtual private network (VPN) using the mobile network or a Wi-Fi connection. While your
device is connected to the VPN, you can send data to and receive data from the private network across the public network.
Turn on airplane mode
In some places, such as on an airplane or in a hospital, you need to turn o all of the connections on your device. You can
turn on airplane mode to turn o your connections quickly, and then turn o airplane mode to restore your connections
quickly.
1. Swipe down from the top of the screen once using two fingers, or twice using one finger.
2.
Tap > More.
3. Turn on the Airplane mode switch.
With airplane mode turned on, you can turn on some connections, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology. This feature
allows you to, for example, connect to an in-flight Wi-Fi network if one is available.
Mobile network
A mobile network connection allows your device to make calls and, if you have a data plan, use data services such as
Internet browsing. In some locations, such as in a hospital or on an airplane, you might need to turn
o your mobile network
connection, but usually you can leave your mobile network connection turned on.
In most cases your device connects automatically to the appropriate wireless network when you travel outside of your
service provider's coverage area. If you're not sure if your device is set up for roaming, or what roaming fees apply, it's a
good idea to check with your service provider before you travel.
