Sharing your mobile data connection

You can share your device's mobile data connection with a single computer using a
USB cable. This process is called USB tethering. You can also share your device's
data connection with up to eight other devices at once by turning your device into a
portable Wi-Fi® hotspot. When your device's mobile data connection is successfully
shared, the sharing devices can use your device's data connection, for example, to
surf the Internet, download applications, or send and receive emails.
You may need to prepare your computer to establish a network connection via USB cable. Go
to www.android.com/tether to get the most current information.
