Note: By default, the connection is open and
not secure. It is recommended that you access
the Mobile HotSpot settings and create a
secure connection by using a password for

USB TETHERING
This option allows you to share your
device’s mobile data connection via a direct
USB connection between your device and
a single computer. The Mobile HotSpot
connectivity is a wireless version of this
same functionality and allows you to provide
Internet connectivity to multiple devices.
To use your phone’s tethering capability,
you must have the Mobile HotSpot service
added to your rate plan.
