Sharing Your Phone's Data
Connection
To share your phone's data connection with a PC,
connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable. You
can also turn your phone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot
and share your phone's data connection with a number
of devices at the same time.
Sharing Your Phone’s Data Connection via
USB
If the PC runs Windows 7, Windows Vista, or a recent
version of Linux OS (such as Ubuntu 10.4), you can use
your phone's USB tethering function without configuring
any settings on the PC. If you are running an earlier
version of Windows or another OS, your PC will identify
and install a driver automatically.
To use
USB tethering
with different OSs, you may need
to prepare your PC to establish a corresponding
network connection.
• You cannot share your phone’s data connection via
USB tethering
and access its microSD card as a
mass storage device at the same time.
• Using
USB tethering
will incur data traffic charges.
