How to use your smartphone as a mobile hotspot
Here’s how to turn your laptop into a virtual office, your camera into a global traveler, your MP3 player into a streaming playground, and more: 1. Ensure the Verizon Wireless Mobile Hotspot feature is activated in your Settings or Manage Connections area. 2. Open the App Tray and select “Mobile Hotspot.” 3. Tap the Mobile Hotspot checkbox. (Note: The Mobile Hotspot feature can use a lot of power, so it’s a good idea to plug your phone into a charger while the feature is turned on.) 4. In a few moments, an icon will appear in the notifications panel showing the availability of your new hotspot. 5. Computers and other connected devices can now connect to this hotspot through Wi-Fi and share your smartphone’s data connection.
