Using your phone as a mobile hotspot

Want to share your Internet connection with your laptop or another device? You can
turn your phone into a mobile hotspot by sharing your cellular data connection over
Wi-Fi. Other Wi-Fi enabled devices can then use your shared data connection to
connect to the Internet.
§ To share your cellular data connection, this feature must be available from your
mobile operator and enabled on your current phone plan. This is also known as
tethering and often costs extra.
§ When you and other people use the shared connection on another device, it uses
data from your cellular data plan. Please be aware of any data limits you have on
your plan, so you don't get charged extra.
