Mobile HotSpot
This feature allows you to turn your device into a Wi-Fi
HotSpot. The feature works best when used in conjunction
with HSPA+ (4G) data services (although 3G service can also
be used).
The Mobile HotSpot connectivity is a wireless version of this
same functionality and allows you to provide Internet
connectivity to multiple devices.
Important!
The Mobile HotSpot service can not be active at the
same time as Wi-Fi. Please close your Wi-Fi
connection prior to launching this service.
Note:
You must have a tethering plan on your account to use
the Mobile HotSpot. You can not use data on the device
while it is being used as a HotSpot.

Note:
By default, the connection is open and not secured. It is
recommended that you access the Mobile HotSpot
settings and create a secure connection by using a
password for communication.
Note:
Using your 4G service and Mobile HotSpot drains your
device’s battery at a much faster rate than when using
any other feature combination.
The best way to keep using the device as a HotSpot is to
have it connected to a power supply.
