needs data connection on a mobile network and may result in
data charges.

cannot use your phone’s applications to access the Internet via
its Wi-Fi connection. You still remain connected to the Internet
via your mobile data network.

with it to start using the phone’s mobile data.

NOTE: To stop sharing your data connection, turn off Wi-Fi
hotspot
