Hotspot and Tethering

Your phone's hotspot and tethering settings allow you to share your mobile data services with
nearby devices.

Hotspot

Hotspot allows you to turn your phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot. When this feature is turned on, you can
share your phone's mobile data services using Wi-Fi with other Wi-Fi enabled devices. The feature
works best when used in conjunction with 4G data services (although 3G service can also be used).
Important: Use of the Hotspot feature requires an additional subscription. Sign on to your account
at sprint.com/mysprint.
Note: Turning Hotspot on will disable your phone's connection to other Wi-Fi networks.
