Portable Wi-Fi HotSpot
This feature allows you to turn your device into a Wi-Fi
Hotspot so you can share your mobile data connection.
The feature works best when used in conjunction with 4G
data services (although 3G service can also be used).
The Wi-Fi Hotspot connectivity is a wireless version of this
same functionality and allows you to provide Internet
connectivity to multiple devices.
Important! The Wi-Fi Hotspot service can not be active at the
same time as Wi-Fi. Please close your Wi-Fi
connection prior to launching this service.

to use the Wi-Fi HotSpot. You cannot use data on the
device while using Mobile HotSpot.
