Using your phone as a mobile hotspot
Want to share your Internet connection with your laptop or another
device? You can turn your phone into a mobile hotspot by sharing your
cellular data connection over Wi-Fi. Other Wi-Fi enabled devices can then
use your shared data connection to connect to the Internet. This is also
known as tethering.
§ To share your cellular data connection, this feature must be
enabled on your current phone plan.
§ When you and other people use the shared connection on
another device, it uses data from your cellular data plan.
