Sharing your phone's data connection
USB tethering and portable Wi-Fi hotspot are great features when there are
no wireless connections available. You can share your phone's mobile data
connection with a single computer via a USB cable (USB tethering). You can
also share your phone's data connection with more than a single device at a
