Sharing your phone's mobile data connection
You can share your phone's mobile data connection with a single computer using a
USB cable. This process is called USB tethering. You can also share your phone's
data connection by turning your phone into a portable Wi-Fi® hotspot. At a given
time, a maximum of eight hot spot clients can connect to the portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
You must have a tethering data plan to be able to use this feature. Contact AT&T for more
information.
When your phone is sharing its data connection, the following icons may appear in
the status bar or in the Notification panel:
