    Check out PDAnet (a smartphone app). You can use it to tether your laptop to your smart phone (in case your phone isn't hotspot enabled). As long as you have unlimited data on your phone plan doesn't cost a dime extra.

    FoxFi = PDA Net


    FoxFi is now part of PdaNet+, a top Android software downloaded by millions! PdaNet+ will provide you with multiple connection options - USB, WiFi and Bluetooth. Please find more details of PdaNet+.



    This is the Important Part

    Not all phones are supported.
    Also even though it says it works.
    Bluetooth Mode does not work on all phones either.

    Also, if you do use your phone for a hot spot, keep it charged, the battery will die quicklier...(Yes I know).

    If you're not carefull it doesn't take long to use up all your data usiage in less then a month,especially if you're a youtube fan like I am.But since im working im too tired to stay online for very long once I get home so I dropped from 8 to 5 g's.For this month I still have my old plan and a lot of gigabites to use.I paid for it so you bet im going to try and use it all up.It recycles on the 7th and only used 2 g's have 6 left so ive been watching a lot of youtube concerts.
