Mobile HotSpot
This feature allows you to turn your device into a Wi-Fi
HotSpot. The feature works best when used in conjunction
with HSPA+ (4G) data services (although 3G service can also
be used).
The Mobile HotSpot connectivity is a wireless version of this
same functionality and allows you to provide Internet
connectivity to multiple devices.
Important! The Mobile HotSpot service can not be active at the
same time as Wi-Fi. Please close your Wi-Fi
connection prior to launching this service.
Note: You must have a tethering plan on your account in order
to use the Mobile HotSpot. You cannot use data on the
device while using Mobile HotSpot.

slider to the right to turn it on .
