Mobile Hotspot
This feature allows you to turn your device into a Wi-Fi
hotspot. The feature works best when used in conjunction
with 4G/LTE data services (although 3G service can also be
used).
You can use Mobile Hotspot to share your phone’s Internet
connection with multiple devices.
Note: Mobile Hotspot requires a subscription to Mobile
Hotspot/Mobile Broadband Connect service. Contact
Verizon Wireless for more information. Mobile Hotspot
consumes battery power and uses data service. While
the Mobile Hotspot is active, your device’s applications
will use the Mobile Hotspot data allowance.
Turning Mobile Hotspot On or Off
1. From home, tap Apps > Settings.
2. Tap More networks > Mobile Hotspot, and then tap
the ON/OFF switch to turn the feature On or Off.
Note: Using your Mobile Hotspot drains your device’s battery
much faster.
Connecting to Your Mobile Hotspot
1. Enable Wi-Fi functionality on the target device, and
scan for Wi-Fi networks.
2. Select your phone’s name from the list. Your phone’s
Mobile Hotspot name is the SSID name in Mobile
Hotspot settings. For more information, see “Configure
Mobile Hotspot” on page 99.
3. Follow the prompts to connect the devices.

2. Tap More networks > Mobile Hotspot.
