Sharing your phone's mobile data connection

Want to access the Internet from multiple devices when you are on the go? Use USB

tethering or set your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot to share its data connection with other

devices.

USB tethering

You can share your phone's data connection with a computer using a USB cable.

To use USB tethering, you may need to install your phone's driver on the computer or

establish a network connection, depending on your computer's operating system. If your

computer runs Windows 7, Windows Vista, or a latest Linux operating system (such as

Ubuntu 10.4), you can use your phone's USB tethering function without configuring any

settings on the computer. If you are running an earlier version of Windows or another OS,

your PC will identify and install a driver automatically.

Use a USB cable to connect your phone to the computer.
