Share Your Mobile Data Connection as a 
Wi-Fi Hotspot 
You can share your phone’s data connection with other devices 
by turning your phone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. The feature 
needs data connection on a mobile network and may result in 
data charges. 
  NOTE: 
When the portable Wi-Fi hotspot feature is enabled, you cannot 
use your phone’s Wi-Fi capability to access the Internet. You still 
remain connected to the Internet via your mobile data network. 
1.  Touch the Home Key >    > Settings > Wi-Fi hotspot. 
2.  Slide the Wi-Fi hotspot switch to the On position. 
After a moment, the phone starts broadcasting its Wi-Fi 
network name (SSID). 
3.  On another device, locate your phone via Wi-Fi and connect 
with it to start using the phone’s mobile data. 
  NOTE: 
To stop sharing your data connection, touch the Wi-Fi hotspot 
switch to turn the feature off.

and secure your portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
