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 cannot be active when

device is connected to Wi-Fi. Please disconnect
your Wi-Fi connection prior to active this service.

Note: You must have a tethering plan on your account in order

to use the Mobile HotSpot. You cannot use data on the
device while using Mobile HotSpot.
