Mobile HotSpot

This feature allows you to turn your device into a Wi-Fi

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.

To activate the Mobile HotSpot service:

1. Press

and then tap SettingsMore...

Tethering and Mobile HotSpot.

2. In a single motion touch and slide the Mobile HotSpot

slider

to the right to turn it on

.
