Troubleshooting: Mobile Hotspot mode

• Check that you're connected to the mobile network. If

appears in the upper-right corner of the home screen, then

the mobile network is on and connected.

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.

• 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.
