Mobile Hotspot

Use Mobile Hotspot to share your phone’s internet connection 
with up to 10 Wi-Fi-enabled devices using 4G, or 5 devices 
using a 3G connection.

You can control whether devices connect to your Mobile 
Hotspot with the Allowed device list.

For more information about using your phone as a mobile 
hotspot, see 

“Mobile Hotspot”

 on page 160. You can also 

access Mobile Hotspot with the 

 

Mobile Hotspot

 app.

Note: 

Mobile Hotspot requires a subscription to Mobile 
Hotspot/Mobile Broadband Connect service. For more 
information, contact Verizon Wireless.

Using your phone as a mobile hotspot consumes 
battery power and uses data service. While Mobile 
Hotspot is active, your phone’s applications will use the 
Mobile Hotspot data service. Roaming while using your 
phone as a mobile hotspot will incur extra data charges.

Turning Mobile Hotspot On or Off

Activate your phone’s Mobile Hotspot application to allow 
other devices to use your phone’s internet connection.

as a mobile hotspot will incur extra data charges.

Tip: 

By default, your device’s mobile hotspot has no security 
applied, and any device can connect. For more
