your Wireless Provider’s network.

consumes battery power and increases your data usage.
Roaming while using your phone as a tethered wireless
internet connection will incur extra data charges.

Fi Hotspot feature, and all data used by connected devices
will apply to the customer’s data allowance. Contact your
Wireless Provider for more information.
