Personal Area Networks

Your phone shares its internet connection by using the phone's Bluetooth and Personal Area Network
(PAN) functions.
Depending on your phone's Operating System, this network, or PAN, might be called one of the
following names:
Personal Hotspot

 Tethering or Bluetooth Tethering
 Tether or Bluetooth Tether
The PAN function is probably already in your phone's Operating System, or you can download an app
to create a PAN.
Note: Some mobile service providers don't allow their users to use a PAN. If your phone doesn't
have the PAN function, you should contact your service provider for more information.
Please check the user guide for your phone if you are having trouble finding the settings.
