I have a lot of time to kill at school and their internet is severly restricted. I overheard someone in class mention that for an extra fee you can make your phone into a wifi hotspot. Is that possible? I have T-Mobile and all I could find on their site are devices purely for hotspot.
Also I was wondering if theres simply a way to connect my phone to my laptop and bypass the wifi.
I just want to watch youtube on a screen larger then my phone so i'm not as bored.
edit: I found out what it's called, it's tethering. I just can't find anything on t-mobiles website about how to add it. I don't know my account password so i'll need to have my sister call them tomorrow, she handles all our phone stuff.
I managed to connect my phone and tether it but my laptop says it has no service.
