How do you use a cell. phone as a hot spot? Does it require extra equipment?
Alas the answer is "It depends"
On my Samsung Galaxy S-5 with T-mobile.... I just turn on the app which was included withe the phone Same with my older S-III and the newer S-6
Other phones and other carriers it may vary Some, used to charge for tethering and hot-spotting (At leat one got slapped by the FCC for double dipping since you paid for the data and then Paid AGAIN to send it to your laptop).
I do not know if they still do that.
But the make/model of the phone matters, Some can not do it. Mine can.
